Bangalore is a busy city and I am so excited moving to Bangalore from a small city. I am super excited and thrilled to be in a new place, get to know new people, eat, party and enjoy.
I completed my engineering with flying colors and bagged an offer letter from an top IT company in Bangalore with an extra ordinary salary package. What else could a village girl ask for??? My senior suggested me to try Quikr website for searching a place to stay. She strongly recommended that I try Quikr site before trying anything else.
The home page was neat and organised, easy to navigate and search.

I registered my details in the site and was ready to begin the search. I wanted to find a flatmate, did not prefer to stay in the hostel. One of the reason coming to Bangalore is to have fun, enjoy its culture, meet new people and to stay connected which a hostel life would never offer. Being in flat gives you the freedom of staying in your own home, no strict rules and regulations that I have to follow. My college friends would also be visiting me, so I could accommodate them when living in a flat.
Quikr provided with lots of option to shortlist from, I narrowed down my search to area where my office bus comes and is close to city.

The ad had the contact details of the person who has posted, so I immediately called them and asked other details required. But most of the details were available in the page itself.
It also has details whether the number given in the ad is legit or not. You have status of the number shown if verified or not. I selected to call only the verfied numbers to be safe.
