My new home ;)

In Pune now; reached here on the 7th. The company had provided us accommodation at Hotel Silver Crest, in Viman Nagar. The rooms are pretty good; they're air conditioned,have TVs and only after a couple of days did we discover that there was net connection too. But the luxury was intended for 15 days only. :( We had to find a place to stay by then.

Last few days, mammen and I were busy looking for flats to stay, somewhere close to Magarpatta City (thats where Amdocs has its office) or Hadapsar. We did contact many people and also check the flats personally and finally yesterday we decided on a 2-bhk flat in ECP Vastu campus, in hadapsar. Its a new construction with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a hall, a kitchen and a balcony. All the rooms are quite spacious. The flat is in the 6th floor; so with the huge windows, there is good breeze coming in and is well lit too. And they have a gas connection in the flat already installed and a person would visit every month and take the reading to bill Oh, I forgot to mention the rent. Its Rs.7000 per month with Rs.25,000 deposit. I believe its a good find, as most of the flats were either too far from our office, too old, or were offered for a very high rent. So we're quite happy now and look forward to have a nice stay there. :D

Gonna continue reading 'The Godfather' now. Yea, I know I should have read the book long back; better late than never ;). Didnt watch the movie yet too, as i was advised to read it first.

I shall post a few pics taken in Pune soon. Until then, hf.

can u give me the contact details of ur agent and how to go abt finding a flat.looking forward to meeting you

angad said...

hi nikhil...i(actually justin) got the flat online ;just went thru some sites like 99acres, magicbricks and sulekha. If u want a flat inside magarpatta city then u might have to go through an agent. But they charge a month's rent for that. I dont have the numbers now; but shall post a comment with the agents' numbers soon...cya soon.

Hi angad,
i am joining amdocs on 17th how far your loaction from amdocs and is the conveyance easily avialble, actually i tried through sites, but im magarpatta its nothing less than 12 K so just wanted to know if your loaction is nearby to the office may be i can search for something there

angad said...

Hi Chetan,
I stay in hadapsar, close to magarpatta...I would personally recommend you to stay in magarpatta...you could check for flats once you come here...
amdocs must be giving you 2 weeks of accomodation...that is more than enough time for finding a flat...and you would also have ppl joining with u; so you could join them in getting one...
just drop a mail or leave a comment here if u need any help...
