It has been only 3 days when I made the plan of writing every day, and I have already missed one day. Although I had only set the limit of not having an excuse. The good part of being all -- jury, judge and executioner -- is that you can make the rules in way that pleases you. So I was making an excuse. Hence to compensate I am writing more about my experience.
Shifting is a tantalizing work. Even though I had to shift merely 5 km and being bachelors we have kept things to bare minimum. Despite this it seemed like a herculean task. While we had movers and packers so they just came, packed everything and dropped it as instructed to the new location. The challenge is upon reaching.
Since the layout of no two house is same so either you have extra-stuff or you have empty spaces in the house. In either scenario you can be innovative or completely predictable, selling or giving out stuff if you don’t have any use for it, or buying stuff based on the requirement.
The question is how do you be creative in this situation? Well I don’t have an answer to that one, since I fall in the latter category of being predictable most of the time.
Anyways, when shifting cities always make sure to get an insurance for everything that you are transporting through couriers.
Also make sure to change the communication address for all the financial and nonfinancial documentations which you will be receiving regularly. Prior to applying for changes you will require proof of new address. Updating address with bank is important as it may affect your credit score. Credit score is important as your credibility for bank loans are affected by this score.
Many people tend to neglect but if you have changed location then it should also be updated on your passport as well. Another thing to remember would be to always check the electricity meter upon shifting. These are some of the primary items that I learned about to check upon shifting within the city.
