Being
an IT employee I know what the pain of relocating to a new city is. One of the
main problems that an individual face while relocating is that of the
accommodation and the furniture. I was born and brought up in Hindi speaking
state and rarely had encounter with individuals who were not able understand or
converse in the same. When I got a job I was elated and was building castles in
the air for the new place I was going to be in. For the training months I was
again in a state where majority understood Hindi and the company provided accommodation,
so searching for the same was not applicable.
Then
after the training I was relocated to Bangalore. Being in a state where I knew
very little about the place and the local language worried me a little, until I
hit the internet for the search. I was trying to find some accommodation in
Bangalore and that is when Quikr
came to my rescue. It gave me various options to select the accommodation of my
choice. For the initial months in Bangalore, I lived in a PG. I could easily
search the accommodation area wise and could set the price range as per my
budget. Filtering the ads posted by broker and individuals also proved very
helpful for finding PGs without broker and the filtering the ad by dates of
post also helped me in finding the most relevant ads.
Once
I was done with the accommodation, it became quite easy for me live there. Then
after few months after my stay in PG, my friends and I decided to move in a
small unfurnished flat. The flat being unfurnished left us with arranging for
the furniture on our own and none of us wanted to shell out money for new ones.
That is when again Quikr came to the rescue. As I had already used the website
previously, it gave me no problem at all to search for the furniture and other
stuff that we needed for our flat. We purchased wide array for stuff from Quikr.
We bought mattresses, plastic chairs, cupboard and few other things that we
needed.
One
of my friends wanted to get a new and get rid of the old. Again Quikr proved to
be the best option. My friend was satisfied with the price that he got for the
phone and also with the response. He sold his phone in a week.
Now
I am shifting to a new place as my brother is also coming to stay with us. I
guess it is time to hit the Quikr again and make the most out of it. Quikr really
proved to be of great help when I relocated to Bangalore. From that time to
present I have purchased and sold lot of things on Quikr. I even gave teddy to
my girlfriend, which helped me in cooling of her anger for forgetting her dog’s
birthday.
If
you are new to Bangalore and don’t know where to find accommodation, furniture
and various other things then just got to Quikr and leave all your worries.
