Renewal of the 11monthts ------- ‘Lease and Let Agreement’

October 1st, 2005 was the day we shifted to the place where I stay in Andheri east now on the 6th Floor same building where we stayed on the ground floor prior to this one, we were three roommates, we got to know eachother when we used to stay in cot sharing basis in the same apartment on the ground floor. We were lucky enough to get the 2nd flat in the same building because the society also was good and the location very close to the station. Also we got the same facilities from this new owner as our previous one, with an added advantage of more privacy then the ground floor. All of us were very excited to stay in this new place and then we shifted.

Our new owner wanted us to legally sign a ‘Lease and Let agreement’ which was valid for 11 months. So as a new family we shifted on the 6th floor. We kept a new maid and also a cook. Life was going fine, we ordered things together and all are bills like electricity, grocery, gas, etc used to be paid in time. Also we were happy with the set up. On the 6th Floor the view was good, we had fresh air to breath and everything was just perfect. But as they say all good things don’t last long, we started having our childish fights and arguments. As 6months passed all are bills started pending, never the things came in time. Everybody wanted to enjoy their own luxury and comfort. None wanted to take a pain in getting the things in order. Slowly the cooking bai funda also was finished, like 2 of us quit the food coz of different reasons. Actually the main reasons being, the daily fights on who’s going to get what and stuff like that. Even the bai’s were suffering badly in this chaos. Everything was a mess, just like the way we had suffered in the ground floor flat where 6 girls were there to create a chaos, here we were just 3of us to create it. Ultimately due to no co-operation and co-ordination which is a management funda. As one of the girls was the main culprit who was creating all the fights and problem, the other 2decided to quit from this place and search for a place where we could stay alone by ourselves. But to our bad luck the places in Mumbai had become very expensive and were crossing our budget. Also it was not easy to quit to such a good place, in an affordable setup so we finally decided to stay back and face the consequences. But this time in unity, we won’t let the other girl rule us like the British’s policy of Divide and Rule as she did. What is the most important here is UNITY, CO-OPERATION & CO-ORDINATION.

So today again the 3of us along with the Owner completed the same legal formality of 11months ‘Lease and Let agreement’. This time it was a renewal of the contract at the Bandra court. We all reached there, but this time in the 3of us we had 2 teams. The ratio was 2:1.Ofcourse I come in the stronger force. The condition of the flat is worsening day after day. But still we leave our house each day with a smile on our faces and go to work as everything is normal. Actually staying outside like this away from parents, teaches us a very unique lesson about life. The need is to find a solution to this problem and stay happy. It’s now another 11months to GO.
