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.......
