Day 4 - 19 June 08

Today seems to be like a long day for me. I went for shell meeting and held up there for a long time.

I meet with Allan Samuel a british citizen worked in Malaysia. He is my transferee as I handle his departure services from Malaysia. Allan and his wife are lovely couples. Overall we discuss alot of things abt the house while we view the house. It's a huge house with pool, gym room, meditation corner and husge garden. If I am still here in India, Maybe I will go for his parties. In India it's the landlords market and the demand is so much for rental. The house is like 3 lakhs and 25 thousand. Sangeeta the realtor should negotiate the price.


I have snap of his house and I will add it later.
We came back home after the over view only after 9pm and it's too tred day.
