the villas

Its been about 2 weeks since we arrived and a week since we moved into our rented home located in a small gated community. These are about a 100 homes interspersed with greenery and parks, each house is fairly large (Texas sized) and roomy (literally, I counted this house has over 15 rooms incld. baths). We didn't really need a house this big, but heard the community advantages were worth the stay.

We are located at the heart of the IT center next to the campus of the Indian School of Business, Microsoft, Infosys and a host of other tech and financial companies. There's a brand new upscale international style 18 hole golf course and country club right across the street from this community.

The villas have ample security, on-call maintenance personnel and readily available housekeepers, cooks and chauffeur services. Of course, everything comes with a premium price. Who said living in India was cheap? The cost of living in Texas is probably cheaper.
