Life's full of surprises

After a long gap going to write something ....I feel writing something always give me some relief from tensions. After we got gift from God Shiva in the form of Rudra Pratap life was full throttle ....I was excited to go home to meet RP , Jigisha and entire family.

Suddenly got opportunity on job front new company.It was like getting icing on the cake.

Immediately I accepted the offer and resigned from existing company.

Gave 1 month notice and gave my papers to new company for changing visa.

1st week went fine but worry started 2nd week when they asked for PP without which they cannot submit my application.After giving that also we were left in middle of nowhere.

Since then its half month gone and still we are left waiting ....I know it will be done but brain super speed is very fast and any human being cannot catchup with an idea how to keep it under control.

After visa cancellation one gets 29 days only to go back ...otherwise we should get new visa.

Well till the time of writing this blog I was sailing in same boat where wait for some island is lingering long over head.

May God bless whole family with enough patience to bear with this slow pain.

We know we will come out of this situation very soon.

Rudra Pratap Singh Badhwar

Yeah. the day has come when wait of entire family for Rudra Pratap Singh Badhwar a.k.a Badhwar Junior got over.

Junior Badhwar arrived in this world at breakfast time. Precisely at 9' O Clock ..

Ritu and junior both are doing well.

I spoke to Ritu , she cried and made me also cry....I know its very painful process.The pain cannot be described in words but I can feel from heart.But at the end fruit is given by God Shiva.

As Senior Badhwar Sahab , Mr Rameshwar Chander Badhwar is away to pilgrimage of Amarnath Yatra so I thought this name would be best one.Rameshwar and Amarnath both are related to God Shiva and Rudra is synonym of Shiva...

Coincidently it was raining with thunder storms in Punjab when he was born...Rudra also means Storm

So please welcome Stormy Rudra Pratap Singh Badhwar

I would also like to thanks God Shiva and my elders for wonderful blessing they have given us in the form of new Badhwar.

Wait for new Badhwar

Recently I was on vacation to India.

The day we reached our home town, we went to one temple nearby.Its upcoming new temple as building is still under construction. After doing prayers we sat with priest of the temple for some time.He asked casually where do I live and work.So before me my father replied "he is working in Dubai as an engineer , I have told him to come back many times but he says he wants to live for some more time " .To this statement priest replied in 2 lines.He said the Bhagya ( Luck ) of a man blossoms when he walks and luck of woman blossoms when she gives birth to a child.

Literally he finished everything in 2 lines....which is so true . Why I am writing this episode here is because we are also waiting for our bhagya ( luck ) to get blossomed again.

The reason for vacation was to drop Ritu in India for delivery of our 2nd child.We all are waiting for Junior Badhwar to come and join us.Expected date is in mid-July .

Life's biggest turn

Though writing this blog after a long gap but this event will remain in memory for entire life.
Last year brother decided to move back to India.The news was a bit surprise for all of us but we all thought it is for his betterment in carrer. I was totally confused how to handle the financial pressure alone.In Sharjah we both were sharing the same flat and other expences but suddenly everything will be on me.....The problem in existing flat was the contract and rented amount.Contract was in the name of brother and if changed the rent would have increased to 60k. So we tried to settle with some other flat.Every evening we used to search 1 BHK here and there but could not find cheaper option.After searching for several months we cut down the option of 1 BHK to studio flat and started searching for some studio which can fit in budget.
But luck was not on our side.Finally we found one flat which was bigger in size but was bit expensive.We got ready for it and everyone accepted it as good option.Went to gave the checks to owner .After wait of 1 hour his brother attended us , only to surprise us with increased price of rent.How come suddenly he can increase the price by 1000 dirhams and 3000 commission.
We asked why sudden change of mind, he replied it is like that.At one time I though of slapping that @**&*& but couldn't . It was so outrageous for me that I took decesion to move back to India.I did not wanted to remain in the land of bluffers.Their seed actually is like this and they will not change.Second anger was on brother who was leaving when I was about to be independent. Anyways then we both ( me and Ritu ) decided to fight back.Fight against odds.
We prepared excel sheet with budget on it and calculated how we can reduce cost and can save to rent a new flat.Found the solution by sending family back.If family goes back we could have saved lot on rent and other expences.So decided.Decesion was very difficult but had to take.

We all lived seperately for 8 months.I lived in bed space and tried to save every penny.
In June this year we could save that much that we could afford a flat for us.Due to recession thousands of Indian and other expt population went back and whole UAE was like empty fort.
Prices crashed like sensex of bombay stock exchange.Me and Nattu ( my Colleague )used to wait for this day when we will see real estate agents crying for thier money and God showed us that day.So june 25th my daughter Jigisha and wife Ritu came back.
This blog should have been written long back but don't know why I did not wanted to write about bad patch of my life.......

Recession hits and hits hard

In November we took a very hard decision.The decision which was so difficult for me that I could not even come out of emptiness for a long time ....we decided to live separately...because I could not afford to rent even a studio flat we decided that we will live separately. Ritu in India and I will stay alone.We managed to find one Studio flatand when we went to sign the contract, we gave that bastard 4 cheques equivalent to the amount of 37000 dirhams.
He said rent is now 38000.Though it was not agreed amount but we made the cheques.Then he asked for commission 3500....which was never in the picture before.I got so frustrated that I tore off the cheques instantly.
We came back after that and that night could not sit properly leave alone sleep.
That night I wanted to go back to India and to never come back to this land again.
Then next day I had to take leave as I was not in a peace to work.
Then Ritu my life partner( true soul ) said U take decision this time I will give U support....
Then we openned our budget sheet and checked if we stay in same flat we will end up with nothing in savings .So I asked my friend Natarajan if I can share his room for 1 month.
because 20th November we were going to India on vacation.He agreed happily.
We shifted here in the flat from where I am writing now.Those 20 days were very good and bad for us.Good because I wanted to take them to every possible mall and shopping center.
To every park they wanted and bad because after 20 days we will go back to india and I will come back alone.

But somehow we managed to deal with it and its now 4 months when we seperated on 20th December......I am very thankful to my wife Ritu that she supported my decision of living seperately and saving something for future.

That day and this day ....again story is turning towards another twist.

Searching new N E S T

Finding new nest is always difficult but change is necessary sometimes and is for good .
In June month I was able to pay off my liabilities and was in good condition to save .Brother was in a fix over job change.He could not take another job because of govt visa ban.So finally he decided to move back to India and resigned.His resignation meant a lot for me.Firstly because of emotional attachment and second because of financial inter-dependence.Rents in Sharjah were touching new heights and people like me were having hard time to sustain.So movement of brother was major change for me.
We asked the office of current building if we can change the contract in my name.They said it will cost 65000 Dirhams per annum.This was much above budget as well as more then what we were paying .Finally we decided to change the flat.Rents in Sharjah soared like rocket because of crackdown on shared villas and we were trapped at very wrong time. Troubles and Nitin are synonymns. :D
So hunt for new Nest is on ......like they say Inshalla we will get very soon.
I have put my application to God to help me out and he is always near to me and always listened whenever I called him.

Bachay mithday meway-rabb sab nu deway

This is a very sweet saying in Punjabi language .
Meaning is simple but with great touching depth.Kids are fruits which God should give to everyone.
My Jigisha my daughter is near to my life and her small care for me always touch my heart.
Last night before going for sleep she said to her mother "mama ask papa to take breakfast because 2 days ago also you didn't give breakfast to him and he remained hungry" Ritu was in tears .
When I got to know about this I also felt same thing.May God give me enough strength to give her best in life.
