The last few days have been quite eventful. Lots of discussion, pondering over questions, and seeking an answer everywhere, but no decisions were made. It's funny how we strategize, agonize, and think we are making things happen while none of it is in our control. And what is even more strange is how perspectives alter in a matter of minutes. Actually, we are no different from little children, despite our pretenses of having all grown up and matured.
Am sure none of this is making sense, and it might seem like I have lost it. It's actually like this - over the last few months we have been on a rigorous house hunting spree, and despite walking through several of them, we took a liking to none of them. Then one fine day we saw this beautiful duplex, spacious, airy, never before occupied, and with a private terrace to boot. The apartment complex is also wonderfully serene, with little children dotting the play area and making a pretty pretty scene. We had zeroed in on our dream home!
Of course, life never goes smoothly, so the price played villain and I was in deep despair. However, a couple of negotiation sessions later, we had arrived at something both we & the builder could smile about. And just when we thought all was well at our paradise, we got to know of another apartment quite similar in most of the specifications, with better amenities and seriously being offered at a much, much lower price. There! We have lost our sleep, our peace, and that's our dilemma.
