This Blog is dedicated to Suresh Iyer.
Moving any item from one to place to another even if its just a hundred meters is an effort.
Imagine relocating completely from one place to another, it is even bigger and a mammoth task.
I have discussed about relocation with Suresh lots of times as he has done relocation between, Mumbai,Bengaluru,Chennai and whenever he discussed about relocation and its difficulties, i used to think well what's all the fuss about? Should it not be very easy, just go to the new place, look at a house and settle in, job done.
How grossly wrong i was, i recently learned the acute issues facing relocation and that too to a completely new place.
Its difficult to find a right place which has right ambiance, good neighbours, proximity for travel,proximity for leisure activities, good set of colleagues .... the list is just endless.
You can imagine how much of an effort it is to get all of this right and you could imagine how much of pain one has to endure even if one of the item in the above list doesn't fit the bill.
This isn't it, there is more to do, when one relocates,all changes to bank accounts , changes to payments , let the local people know about your move , change of postal address.. phew its just such an enormous task.
Its dreadful to do it all alone . I have had a bit of luck as i have friends who are helping me out in my relocation.
Suresh,
Its been a great learning experience and i actually underestimated the efforts in relocation.
Hahahaha! Well, what can I say! You are right..relocation is an enormous task, and becomes even more complex if you have a family to lug around with!
