When it comes to getting your own house I feel its better late than never.
It is a great feeling to have a place of your own.
Today I learned the word for house: makaan before it was only ghar.
Makaan refers to the physical structure. Though Ghar means the same thing however it has a emotional intonation to it.
By way of living and arranging things within your house you make the house your home
So Ghar = Home
Good to know you are planning to come to India.
By the way today happens to be the Indian festival of Dussehera
The day is celebrated to mark the victory of good over evil.
