Relocating Tips and Suggestions

"Hi dear. Anything urgent? Right now, I am in a meeting. Can I call you after sometime?"
“Yeah sure, call me when you are free”
I called her back that evening. “Tell me Abi. How are things?”
“Things are going usual. I have good news for you, but unfortunately that’s a very bad news for me” she replied with fuming tone.
“Is it? What’s that?”
“My husband is getting transferred to Bangalore.”
“Wow. That’s good news. And, why it’s a bad news for you. Don’t want to meet and stay with me?”  Now, I was fuming.
“Come-on yaar. I don’t know anyone other than you in Bangalore. Shifting my family completely to Bangalore is very huge task. I need to search a good play school for my son. My daughter is very much interested in Dance. Have to look a good dance class for her and need to find a house for Rent. Most important I need to find a job in Bangalore” She took a deep breath.
I could not control myself. She took another deep breath and continued, “More than all packing all the electronic items and moving to Bangalore is another hectic. Packing and again un-packing all the items is very stressful. I recently bought a Fridge; I am worried about the scratches while shifting."
“Have you not seen the latest ad in TV? You can do anything online these days."
“What?”

“Sell the electronic items through Quikr, come Bangalore then buy back through Quikr.It also has Education & Learning category where you can find the suitable Dance class for you daughter and Creche for your son”
“It’s not possible da. I need this to move in just 10 days. Time is very less.“
“You have a solution for it. Post a premium ad in Quikr.It makes your ad more visible and reaches more customers. The cost is cheap too"
“Since I need to relocate, I have disconnected my Internet connection at home. I can’t access emails for the next few weeks”
“Do you have mobile and do you have data pack in that?”
"Of course yes."
“Then download Quikr app in your mobile and keep trading and hunting. I had an old laptop that was giving some troublesome. I wanted to sell the laptop and buy a new one. I posted an ad, with the issues I am facing in the laptop. A Technician called me next day and purchased it immediately for a decent price.”
"Hey, I am very bad at estimating the prices for my products. I am worried that I may end up selling my items for less price"
"Chill darling. You have MSP Calculator, ie Maximum Selling Price. By using various data it calculates you the reasonable resale price"
"Wow. Amazing. and is it trust-able?"

“It’s one of the emerging and best classifieds sites for buying and selling products that I have seen recently. It gets almost 24 million visitors per month and its running successfully in more than 65 major cities. It’s has a lot of filtering options, and hence makes your search very simple. In fact, you can get instant alerts about the product sale. Recently Quikr has launched "Quikr Nxt" Messenger. With that app, you can connect with the buyers and sellers by opting your number as private. Chat History, Image sharing of products and much more options are available"
"That sounds interesting."

"I will cut the burden for you. I am in front of computer right now. Tell me your requirements for renting a house."
"I need 2BHK, fully furnished. Area you need to suggest"
"I will select Devanagundi, since its near to your husband’s office. Here it goes, you have 250 options. Will mail you the details. Have a look. Even if you had not find the suitable option, you can post a free ad about your requirement."

"Very cool. With the help of Quikr, I think I can re-locate to all the places in India with stress free." she said relaxing.

"Yes, at present Quikr offers in 8 languages English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi and Gujarati. Even you have a category for matrimonial. You can sell your husband in Chennai and get a new one in Bangalore"
"Stop joking. Take care dear. Waiting to see you. Love you"

"One Matcha Lattea and for you?"
"Hot Choco Latte," Rohan replied.
The waiter took our order and left the place. My face was brighter than usual and he was puzzled.
"Tell me, you said you wanna discuss something important?"
"Yesssssssss Rohan," But he interrupted. "Heyyyy, between that we received the joining date from Intel. They want us to join next month". His eyes scanned the file which was lying on the table.

Rohan - We knew each other since childhood. Both our parents were good friends and so we are. We studied together for XII board exams, prepared together for IIT JEE entrance, and joined B.Tech Computer Science in Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Things went well, because we possessed a similar set of interest.
As soon as I joined B.Tech, I found Engineering is not my cup of tea. Rohan topped in academics, where as I scored pretty decent score. I was the R.J for my college. All staffs, students appreciated that my voice was mesmerizing and it has the capacity to hold the audience spellbound. Soon I realized Anchoring was my passion.

Three months before, we faced the most integral part of every college student’s life- “College Placement”. Intel came to our college for campus recruitment. I had no interest to attend the interview, but on Rohan’s request, I attended. We both got placed in Intel at a whopping annual salary of 14 lakh. In-spite of my academic score, Intel gave me an offer, because of my extra-curricular profile. The very next day Rohan proposed and after a week of show off I accepted his love.

"What the heck," he screamed as soon as he saw the call letter from Indian Institute of Journalism & New Media. He continued, "I thought you are joking about your interest towards Anchoring. I never believed you will apply for post graduate Diploma in Media & Mass Communication"
"Rohan as I said Anchoring is my passion. I love it whenever I do" I replied him returning to the present.
"Following your passion is a bullshit decision. Dropping high-profiled salary job and going behind a profession which pays you roughly 12,000 per month would result in disastrous"
“Money is not everything. If Barkha Dutt, Menaka Doshi and Cyrus Broacha had thought the same then there won’t be any good anchors existing today."
"Okay, leave about money. I don’t like to say my wife is working in television"
"Are you so conservative...?
Our arguments went into heat and luckily it was stopped by the waiter who served us the cold coffee. I took a sip and continued, "Rohan those computers, coding, debugging are not my area of interest. I would just live an ordinary life. Every month end, I would be getting a big digit salary. But, I won’t be living a meaningful life. I love doing research on the social issues, politics and economic concerns and collecting anecdotes. It will keep me lively."
"I agree you have the qualities of Anchor. Observant, Creative, good looking and good sense of timing. But talent alone is not enough to succeed in this field. You need to be thick-skinned, should have good contacts in the industry and…and"
I stopped him before he says something nonsense, "Rohan, Our heart is like a magnetic compass. Once you listen and follow, it will take you to the heights. In an interview, the journalist asked A.R. Rahman how he feels about Oscar Awards. He said, he never works for money or awards. His love for music always motivates him to work harder. And that fetches him award. It’s very important for everyone to not get bored with the work we do”

He gave an expression of groan and warned, “What if I say in that case you will end up missing me?”

I was silent. He continued, "Follow your heart, chase your passion can be good to read and watch in movies. But for practical life, its not going to work out. I too have lots of dreams about my Future. Onsite travel, luxurious lifestyle... Anyways… you still have 5 days’ time to accept the Intel offer. If you don’t accept that offer, I think I need to reconsider our relationship"
I heard his footsteps go to the end of the exit and a door open and close sound.
Days passed. . .
I joined Indian Institute of Journalism & New Media to pursue my dreams. And Rohan?. .
Hmm..No contact after that. Heard he went to Australia for a long term assignment.

Once in our lifetime, we are in a position to make a choice. We need to compromise one thing or the other. When you are confused to choose the path, it’s always better to follow your heart. Because in the future you will not have regrets. And when you fix your eyes on the goal and follow your hearts, no one can stop them from reaching the zenith.
