Annual bachpan waala ghar ka photo
With a story worth retelling...

My dad and his best friend built this together ❤️

The house looks big because it is 2 houses with a common gate, common balcony and common garage.
The two houses are a mirror reflection of each other 😊

They have been together since boarding school -6th grade (Netarhat school)
They have supported each other through financial and personal hardships till they both got to a middle class income.

When they decided to build a house they built it together.
Instead of having a boundary wall, they clubbed the two houses.
So what is actually a decent sized 3 bhk duplex looks like a much bigger house 😂

But the cool part here is not the size of the combined house, but the depth of this friendship.

My dad and his two best friends besides each other.
They have been together since they were 12.

They have the most fun, slapstick, schoolboyish sit-downs every morning.
Laughing, roasting and arguing with each other.

It is beautiful.
And hard to replicate but I will try to do it with my friends :)
Co-living and co-building applications are open to friends 😂

Bachpan waala ghar ❤️

This was the first 'owned' house for my dad's entire family.
He built it 20 years into his job.
It still gets his wholehearted affection and attention.

I guess 'owning your first house' is one of those feelings you only experience once.
And that memory doesn't fade easy.

That is true for all ambitious cities.
Making genuine friends and connections need a lot of 'vella time'.

The kind of time you had in your undergrad days.
Where you can sit all night and chat and be vulnerable and say sh** you felt and then went for tea at 3 am

Great ambition leaves no room for vulnerability.
And Vulnerability is a necessary condition to make deep connections.

Bangalore is simultaneously the easiest city to meet ambitious people and one of the hardest cities to make genuine friends/connections.
