How to survive your first stint in a city like Bangalore
05:22
I moved to Bangalore a couple
of years back and well versed with the hassles of moving cities in trying to
find a new place to live, new stuff for the décor, etc. As many of you would
know, Bangalore is a fast-paced city with a cosmopolitan population that is
largely made of highly qualified technology and creative professionals. Hunting
for a place to live was hard.
Ironically, there were
hundreds of options to choose from, but I was looking for something that would
be close to urban life yet be far enough to avoid the hustle and bustle. I was
looking for a place that would be well connected yet avoids the traffic rush
that Bangalore is famously known for. I tried a number of property agents and
social associations and finally managed to find a lovely house that met my
taste and preferences.

Fast forward to the next step
of trying to get the house furnished. This, as you can imagine, can be more
expensive than even finding and renting a house. I wasn’t keen on purchasing a
lot of furniture that would later be hard to get rid of and make it an investment
that just depreciates rapidly with time. That is when I came across RentoMojo.
They have this unique concept
of rent packages that just take care of each room in your house, based on your
taste, needs, and budget. This just worked out perfectly for me as being a
Blogger, I am always on the lookout for great looking places that I can use as
my prop or background. The fact that I could change my home décor frequently
just came as a boon as that would just allow me to create fresh looking
ambiance within my house every few months.
Surprisingly, it was also
very light on the pocket as RentoMojo offers all of these services at a very
small monthly rent and a one-time deposit that does not leave a hole in your
pocket. I was able to leverage the flexibilities that RentoMojo offers to
rejuvenate my living space a few times, and it has lent a great deal to my
social profile and added the oomph to my overall portfolio.

What RentoMojo also offers is
an amazing option to own a piece of furniture if you really like, and I am
considering keeping the couch that I am in love with for a small purchase fee.
Apart from furniture and home
décor, it has been an amazing experience overall with RentoMojo, as I have also
opted in for my daily need appliances from them that include an air
conditioner, TV, and microwave. Again, for a small fee per month, I get to use
them at my leisure.
This is a real boon in the
modern times. Considering big cities like Bangalore, where a job change could
take you from one end of the city to another where moving your own furniture
through the movers and packers would cost a bomb. Add to that the insurance
costs and the damages that invariably happen through the move.
Similarly, moving from one
city to another could just leave you seething looking at the estimates that
movers and packers would give you. Just not worth it in my view. For a fraction
of that money and the financial comfort of being able to pay on a monthly
basis, without having to shell out a lot of money in one go, is just a perfect
pocket-friendly and practical option.
Moreover, for someone like me
who is creative, I just love that fact that I can mix and match and get new looks
for my home when I need, without having to do spend a lot of money or time.
Check out their Bangalore packages here.
Sometimes we forget how much
money we just casually spend in one movie outing or over a Saturday evening
party which is easily a couple of thousands! To put in this perspective,
RentoMojo comes in at such an affordable price that it is almost hard to
believe. Can you believe you can actually rent a single bed with wheels for a
monthly rent of under Rs. 300? That is like a tub of popcorn at a movie
theater!
Ever since I made this
decision of renting my furniture and appliances through RentoMojo, my bank
balance is looking much healthier, and the living costs have become more
predictable. On top of that, I have been able to spend the money I have saved
by choosing RentoMojo for doing the things that I love.

Whoever is the entrepreneur he ought to congratulate himself and Pat himself or herself for such a a fabulous venture. Yes, furniture is the need of the hour and especially if you happen to be in an alien city. This is like you don't need to buy, you can rent and still give the rented apartment the feeling of your home!
