Brick by brick, Raveena
Tandon-Thadani’s dream bungalow is getting ready and she will be moving in
with her family this Diwali.
Almost delirious with excitement
Raveena recounts, "We bought over the property from someone else and then
decided to rebuild it completely. Easier than done.”
Raveena’s
peace-loving husband Anil left the building and designing of their dream home
completely to his wife.
Laughs Raveena, “At
first I was only too happy to put our love nest together. But it proved to be a
task to which I was almost not equal. In my excitement of getting our perfect
home together I forgot I had our current home in Andheri and two very demanding
children to take care of.”
The house which is located
off Carter Road in Bandra has taken almost two years to be put together.
So
how does it feel to move into her dream house? Says Raveena, “Every home
I’ve been in has been a dream house. My fondest memories are attached to
my father’s Juhu bungalow where I grew up. Then I bought my own house in
Lokhandwala Andheri where Shahid Kapoor was my neighbour. Then I moved in with
my husband and his parents. It’s in a commercial area , therefore noisy
but precious because my husband grew up there. Now in the fourth stage of my
life I’m ready to step into fourth dream house. Hopefully my kids will
take me into my fifth home before I am old.”
