Change.........the only constant
I have just found something that I hate with renewed passion. Packing and moving. But it has been such a constant in my life. Started off when I 1st set sail from India to here in '98 . It must have been Rahu Kalam. There was a time bout 2 yrs back when I was sure that was the end of my moving. I had my entire life planned around that piece of land. But life had its own plans for me. Here I am moving for the 13th time in 8 years. Earlier my little Civic who has been my constant companion was my Mover. But of course human nature……the collection has increased over the years and so has my anxiety about moving. Each move has kinda marked a milestone, and the 128K miles on my car. But am hoping my new place is as good to me as my current one has been, not to mention that it is going to be my own. And as I am getting ready to let go of the fabulous Lake Michigan views from my apt and preparing to look onto tall buildings instead, I question the waves : Que sera sera…….

wow, you actually came here in a boat... how long did the voyage last ? a couple of days ?? a week ?? of course, that was back in '98... i'm sure that these days, with all the advances in maritime technology, the trip will get over much quicker.. :P :P
btw, those buildings in the picture above look vaguely familiar... :D
Is it as bad as moving 6 times in 3 different cities in less than an years time ???
Sometimes, change is for the good :)... Oh btw, Rahu kalam can be bribed...
wow, that's such a pretty view!
13th time in 8 years? Man, that's a lot of moving! I've moved 8 times since '99, and only the last move called for a moving truck. I remember my first move...from Y's place in MD, to a hole in the wall in VA. I didn't know anyone who had a car & was willing to help. Soooo, I lugged my huge suitcases... one per trip. I took 'em big boys on the bus to Baltimore downtown, then took 'em on the train to DC, and finally on the metro to VA! The real killer was the uphill climb to my apartment complex, about half a mile from the metro station. I had my trusty old walkman playing "Eye of the tiger" on repeat. That got the job done :-) Good luck!
I'm very happy for you second wind, I'm sure this new house will bring you much more happiness than the old house :)
btw, just curious, is this Rahu Kalam friend of yours in any way related to APJ Abdul Kalam ? :D

@ Seashells : oh wow..that must be bad.

Change is exciting.. but yes as long as there is a base back.. change is fun.. I like to have a base somewhere where I can always get to my roots :)
