Home is where the heart is

It's a big day today! We booked an apartment!! :D

I have been waiting to move into our own house for ages. I just have to close my eyes and I can imagine a neat and tidy house with well-done interiors. There are plenty of shelves and cabinets to ensure everything in the house will have a home. A shoe rack for the dozens of footwear I have but rarely use. A comfortable couch placed strategically in front of the TV. A balcony to let in plenty of air and light, with a small table and couple of chairs to enjoy the evening breeze. A dining room which also has a cabinet to hold our precious crockery. A well-stocked kitchen, ready to cater to every craving. Cozy rooms with ambient lights and matching curtains along with a full-length mirror, of course! 

I also wish for a reading nook, tucked away in some corner <3 

Okay, back to reality! I still cannot believe we finally booked it. I know it's going to take a few years to call it our own. Nevertheless, it's a start. Long back a friend mentioned that he wanted to live in his own house by the time he turned 30. Unknown to him, the idea planted itself in my head and spread its roots deep into my heart. The years of budgeting and planning finances finally paid off. We have been scouring our area, visiting every house suggested by friends, relatives and agents alike. But this is where our destiny was waiting for us.

I hope I am not exaggerating when I say we found a near perfect deal. It is a 2 BHK apartment, situated on the main road, very close to the metro. There are two wings, only one of which is completed as of now. But we ran into a lot of people we know. I and my sister are buying this house primarily for our parents. We want them to settle into a comfortable colony and create a world of their own. Not independent of us but one where they won't miss us terribly. They will be safe and secure. They won't have to struggle for small household repairs. More importantly, they will be surrounded by friends and family (my cousin too has bought an apartment here).

If things go well, we should be able to pay off the loan in a few years. I am so grateful to God for making my wishes come true.

EDIT: We upgraded to a 3 BHK! How are we going to manage it! Panic mode on!
