Hailstones hit me


Yesterday we had a hailstorm here in Grenoble. I have seen these earlier once when I has a child in India and a few when I was in Germany. But this was very different one, The hailstones was up to the size of big grape fruit, like the one genetically modified.
I was traveling in the tram to reach home. I have to change tram to reach to my house, I was exactly caught while doing so. So I had to wait there for things to get settle down and then continued my way home.

Once again after a long break

I must admit that its been a long gap since I had given an update on the site….. OK here I go…

I came back to France on 7th July and from then on having a tough time. I had to get my resident permit for that I need a address proof, for that I need a house, for that I need a bank account, for that I need a residence proof and it goes on like this.
After all the difficulties I managed to open a bank account and was very happy to discover that I managed to get a house the way I liked it and way I wanted to make the payment for the rent/electricity and all other amenities. In a way I was very lucky to get such a house. But ill luck is there always… The worst part of it is yet to begun.. We are a group of 3 families came from India, the other two are married and have kids. I’m only bachelor fellow. They both got the house and insured and all went on well. I was also following on the same steps. Here I have my surprise. The agreement for the house was taken on my company and the Insurance was on my name. The housing agency did not want to issue the key for me as the insurance was not meeting the required standards. Then I had to run here and there and try to ask for my bank to change the name. It they its not possible. Then I had to cancel this insurance and then move to another company who would give me the way I wanted the insurance.

And now I have moved into my house. More later with on the updates weekend travels I had made so far soon. In the mean time enjoy some flicks from Venkat
