apartment hunting

so i've been looking at new places - and its depressing!!! not just the prices involved. but just what passes off for aesthetics these days. I went to this new building marathon era, in a lane behind shenoy chawl in lower parel and am expected to be awed by circular balconies and wierd aluminium pipes that threaten to stab me if i lean out too much. maybe i have an old soul living as i do with an old man!!! but what would make me happy was high ceilings, huge compounds, lots of wardrobe spaces. A view of the upcoming shangri-la not cutting it. And then there are my mixed feelings about uprooting myself once again. seems like i just settle down in a place, establish a gym routine - now i have my very own mommy-toddler group (inurface, hopping bunnies) and i'll have to hunt around for a new one.
and so the hunt continues - sigh!!!
