I was one of the luck 5 people who had a chance to stay In this heaven. On sept 20 2005, After a loooong search for a house, this was the last and only option left for us. If not today, we would be homeless tommorrow. We were totally new to bangalore and had read enough forward mails of how people of Bangalore are. We blindly gave the House owner Mr. Kanthraj his deposit of 85000/- and occupied the house.
The house was a 2 BHK with walls painted with colours which I guess were carefully chosen by the landlord - Yellow, Pink and green. The hall was pretty big. could have accomodated 3 people. One of the bedroom was a bit small and the green cooured bedroom was the one in which I stayed. The House was guarded by 2 dogs. they did their job just as a security watchman does. Sleep all day long. They never barked on strangers, but they barked on stranger dogs ! The house had a monster's face projcting outwards. We assumed that the face of the landlord. many houses had this kind of monsters put in front of their houses. Maybe it reflects the nature of the owner.
Some of the moments I cherished here are :
1. The Name. "Aandal Nilayam" Which I proudly called "House of the Testevoirs"
2. The fierce dog made from Plaster of Paris.
3. Our landlord who always said, "Your like my sons."
4. The two guardians Sophie and charlie (these two are real doggies ). Our landlord used to take good care of his dogs. When he brought food for them he used to call them, " Sophie, Come come come come." "Charlie, Charlie, Come come come come."
It was 4th october, The day had come to pay him his monthly rent. Me along with Nishank went upstairs to give him his earnings. We knocked the door. He welcomed us " Come come come come. "
5. Imagining Rohan's state of mind when a Rat jumped out of the toilet and landed straight on his foot.
6. Watching Nishank fall right on his Bums while trying to kick Rohan.
7. As mentioned earlier, we were 5 people who stayed there. (Officially) One day Our landlord comes and says, "you are 7 people staying here" Amar (a.k.a. Jackie) assumed to be the 6 th one and Sunny as the 7th.
8. The scream of me and Rohan when one of the bed collapsed. were about to sleep after watching a horror movie.
9. Watching Anant perform "His style" Skipping =))
10. The look on Kanth Raj's face when one of my friend brushed his bike to kanth raj's TATA Sumo.
11. Watching Kanthraj Removing the filth from the water logged bathroom.
12. The Great Indian Comedy show watched together at 10:30
13. The late night patte sessions.
14. GPL ( Ga%#d Pe Laath ) to every Birthdayboy.
15. Indoor Cricket.
Let the photos tell the rest.
