House To Let
There is a two bedroom independent house with a garage and terrace in H.S.R. Layout. Big kitchen, hall, pooja room, built in space etc.
It is around 7 minutes walk from the Main Road through the village.
The car approach is bad on normal days and even worse when it rains – so the only noise pollution is air traffic and music practice.
It is a peaceful place with the nearest shops being in Koramangala 1st block or teacher’s colony. The only vendor that comes that way sells Kashmiri carpets.
Servant labour is inexpensive when available.
The circle of life will involve you at the bottom of the food chain, the mosquitoes which eat you, the frogs and lizards that eat the mosquitoes and snakes that eat the frogs. If you’re willing to eat the snakes then the circle is complete.
The soil is rich., so you can grow a beautiful garden with various lovely birds and colourful spiders thrown in for free.
The house owner will only visit you under the pain of death or if you haven’t mailed him the rent cheque. So you are a free agent.
Water and electricity are available unless the pipes burst or the transformers blow off. The street lights work.
There is no air pollution except when the wind blows from the ‘kere’ (lake) direction.
And as soon as it is dark the air is filled with the delightful calls of 200 frogs inviting their friends over for a nightcap.
