Yesterday, while going through my email inbox, I came across an email with the subject line “Pain”. I remembered one incident in our first building when I saw the word pain. It happened when all the construction work was over, and we shifted from a rental property to a brand-new house. Usually, once the housewarming function is over, it’s recommended that someone stay in the brand-new house. That’s a kind of tradition we follow....
Today, I visited our relative’s house, Gruha Pravesh, which is near ours. This is a reconstruction work. Initially, they had the Ground floor and 1st floor. The owner used to stay on the ground floor, and the 1st floor is for rent. Now they felt the ground floor space was not sufficient, so they decided to do reconstruction work on top of the 2nd and 3rd floors with the duplex house....
Today, I called a cook to our house to discuss about preparing non-veg food for our housewarming function visitors and house construction labours . Some house owners arrange non-veg food after the housewarming function, and some skip this. People who arrange they will do it after 1 or 2 months after doing pooja in their new house. As some owners avoid eating non-veg food for some days after performing homa’s....
My brother went to one of their relative’s housewarming function a few months back. There, they give one big steel bowl. When my mom saw that gift, she immediately liked it—and praised a lot for giving such a good gift. After a few months, when our housewarming time came, my mom asked how much that bowl cost and where they bought it from the house owner’s relatives. They enquired the house owner and replied, “It cost around ₹100 per bowl, and we bought it from a friend’s shop....
Are you going to buy an Invitation card for your housewarming function? You don’t always need an Invitation card to invite… It depends on you. If you need an invitation card, then read this or else skip this. Ok. When you buy invitation cards, remember you need to bring a little bit extra cards. When you give your invitation card for printing, they waste a few cards for printing setting/adjustment....
This is in terms of fixing the housewarming date. When you are almost done with your construction work, you will start thinking about fixing a date for your housewarming function by visiting your Astrologer. Before visiting them, you must keep a few things in mind. Not just that. If you keep those things in mind, you will save money and time visiting your Astrologer’s office multiple times. Some astrologers intentionally do this to get extra consultation charges....
Who doesn’t want to get a good Auspicious date for their house? Everyone needs a good date. But those dates are given by our Astrologer. We only need to believe what they say. Some of you might have some basic idea… having a basic idea doesn’t help much. So, whatever our Astrologer tells us a good date, we must listen and fix our function on those dates. There is a problem with this method....
Yesterday, I went to collect my housewarming photos from the photo studio. I took my brother’s hard disk, thinking a pen drive wouldn’t be sufficient. After checking the photo’s size, it came to around 7 GB of photos. The studio guy started copying my folder to our hard disk. I saw the time remaining. It was showing 3 hours left! My jaw dropped seeing the time left to copy… I waited some time to see if the time changed after a few seconds....
Hello… Hello… Hello… Cut call. Our old cook acted like he could not hear my voice and cut the call. For the past 2 days, I tried to reach him. He is doing the same kind of acting repeatedly. This time, I got confirmation that he was intentionally acting. I got up from my chair and went to the hall to inform my dad. My dad: Okay. Me: For the second building, I was feeling happy thinking this time, none of the contractors played any extra game because of following my house construction tracking system....
Finally, we finished our housewarming function. It was a little stressful and sleepless job. Not all things go as planned. Something always goes wrong… In our case, it was “cook.” Imagine you invited around 200 people to the function and the cook phone was switched off on the function the previous day. I couldn’t able to sleep because of this. He was not reachable… I called him every 1-hour gap for a full day, but still no use....
