October 2007 , Sumeet and Subarna were house hunting in London.(London Docklands to be precise)
After weeks of showing Okay-ish , Not-that-bad-ish flats our agent finally promised us to show 1 flat, clearly indicating that its little higher than our budget. We convinced ourselves that its just a viewing, lets go for it. The Flat was '40 Eastern Quay Apartments'. The rest they say is History.
-Formation of SnS Dance Group and our home officially declared as SnS HeadQuarters.
-Never ending dance practices (which includes dancing in the Parking lot)

"Its Nice, We will take it" said Subarna excitedly. I ssshhhhed her saying that she should not give clear indications while choosing a property to rent else it gives a wrong impression and the agents/landlords would ask for higher rent. I could clearly see the spark in Subarna's eyes, she finally found exactly what she was looking for. As far as the rent is concerned, it was mere double of what we were paying for our old flat. But who cares, as they say 'Jam Miyaa Biwi Raazi to Kya Karega kaazi' !
As I lookback now, few images go past my memory lane..

I am sure our friends in London can add to this above list a lot of other cherishing moments and unforgettable incidents.
The Last 3 years were amazing period of our lives as we made a gradual move from carefree-and-ready-to-party Husband-Wife to more of Daddy-Mommy phase. The journey of 3 years was indeed a roller coaster ride with abundance of ups and downs, and all this happened while we were at '40 Eastern Quay Apartments'.
Bye-Bye Old SnS Headquarters , Bye-bye Eastern Quay Apartments!
