Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar Kisi Ko Dekhna Ho Gar
To Pehle Aake Maang Le Meri Nazar Teri Nazar
Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai
Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai
To Pehle Aake Maang Le Meri Nazar Teri Nazar
Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai
Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai
This song
from the movie Saath Saath exactly depicts my mood today when my dad just
called me up to tell that he has collected the property documents from the bank
(after we cleared the home loan 2 months back) and the house, our dream home in
Bangalore is finally ours! Oh! What a feeling! We are the proud owners now, the
house is finally ours. The moments just flashed before my eyes. How we booked
this particular flat in a single day and how we liked it very much and how we
saw it getting its shape and size and how we got it adorned it with furniture
and loveable colors and how we decorated it with nice, beautiful things, how we
moved in and more good things happened to us! How we loved sitting in the
balcony on the sit-out sipping our tea and listening to the birds chirping and
seeing the parrots flying. How the rain drops trickled down to the balcony and
wet the floor. How Tanay arrive in our
lives after moving here, his first steps, his first mischief etc. The list is
endless. I can’t thank the Vastupurush enough. And of course our parents, grandparents and friends and well wishers also should be thanked who showered their blessings and good wishes on us.
I got this
reference from google http://vastusecrets.com/vastu-purush-vastu-man.html
for the people who might be new to this term:

The weird man surrendered himself to Lord Shiva and
begged for his forgiveness. Lord Shiva named him as Vastu Purush and ordered
him that he would go on the Earth and give Health, Wealth and Happiness to
the people residing there. He blessed him that the occupants there will
always worship him.
Then 45 Deities including Lord Bramha collectively caught hold of Vastu Purush and threw him on the Earth with the face downwards, head in the North East and his feet in the south west. Each body part of the Vastu Purush was given the name of the Deity who touched it. E.g. Lord Bramha touched the navel of the Vastu Purush so it was given the name of Bramha. So the centre of the house where Vastu Purusha’s navel comes is called as "Bramhasthan". |
I am on
Cloud Nine today and will definitely celebrate this moment with dear hubby and
sonny.
There is
great importance attached to having an own house in India even today. It is
considered as a great asset and usually comes handy in the fallback times. The budget
of the people buying property varies and so do the prices when it comes to
different areas in a particular city. Everybody wishes 4 walls of his/her own,
where one can come back, relax, chill and spend time and just hit the bed at
night,
Have you
seen the advertisements of Asian Paints on Television? I love its tagline ‘har
ghar kuch kehta hai’. Watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdzRjvdK67w. Houses have moods and colors too, exactly
like the people they house, is what I believe! Why is that you go to somebody’s
house and get uncomfortable and panicky and feel like getting out immediately and
on the other hand to a house where you think you have always been staying for
years, very quiet and relaxing? There may be houses which have the best of
furniture and valuables, but there is no peace in that house and there might be
also a case where people are pauper, but satisfaction and peace prevails.
I am
waiting to get back to my home sweet home next year, where I can be myself and enjoy
the warmth and peace!
