After a little overstretched journey of my hometown, brother's place, uncle's home, aunt's town, friend's marriage, unsettling my stomach, I was back in Bangalore for settling down. Digestion system went on strike, just after touch down and mass conservation theory became true for my body universe. Sighhh..that was great ice-cream in my friend's marriage.
New town, new place, new job, new company, new people, new babes and new house. For few days, I dumped myself at one of my friend's place. That stay was cut short by unusual arrival of my friend's family. I took my luggage and moved to another buddy's home but this time paid stay. Life is not cheap, nowadays. In between, I toiled here and there for a decent rental flat. Ohh..I can't manage with just a single room, big future plans. Nonetheless, 3 days of marathon walk turned my body into a skeleton. Finally when my body refused to even move, I had to settle down with my friend's advice with another friend's flat, which had one empty room.
Bangalore, through out this period showed calm and coolness till 2 days back when it broke down started crying. Tears fell down so heavily that traffic became complete chaos. Trees fell down, some computers got burnt, and some might have also lost their homes due to water clogging. But it was nothing compared to what Chennai sky did with me last year. Now, its again cool breeze to heal my body and polluted air to take in my black lungs, darkened due to smoking friends. I have a dark heart, so what? Its clean, can't a black thing be clean? I got a clean black heart. I dream, sleep and sometime even try to think in complete dark. Darkness always generates fear in humans but I was always indifferent to it.
Hey, back to my senses. So, where was I? Ohh..my new home, its just near by Bangalore airport and the location is such that it comes in direct path in taking off and landing flights. There sound is little bit uneasy to bear but it gives a great view from the roof. There two more guys staying in the same flat. Correction, 2 guys and 1 gal more. One guy's girlfriend also stay put there only. That’s a good thing as this couple is very playful and keeps us all entertained. Food again is another benefit. Though, I take my lunch in some nearby restaurant to my office but dinner is cooked by this couple only.
Settling in Bangalore has been turned out to be exact opposite as I had thought off. City is crowded, food is even worse then Chennai, good food is available but its too costly, decent south Indian food is even scarce which was a commonality in Chennai, traffic though till now have appeared harmless, people are jackass, some even worse than chennaites, though firm is good, same kind of timelines, many colleagues are from my college. So, overall I am just scampering through.
Ohh...recently, I found a new way of begging here. Some kids with some books and copies, one small para written on a copy on their inability to pay school fees and pleading to help them. I checked those kids, if they even know reading and writing. Fees were 1500 bucks, damn; even I read in free school, how they can charge this huge fee. When asked, kids told me that their miss wrote this. For my black heart, I even had little bit kindness and gave them 5 rupees, but as soon as I passed another signal, there were more kids, similar pack of books and copies, begging with a note. Beggars are getting creative. Whoever forced those kids and sent them with that note was simply asshole.
For my office work, boss is very enthusiastic, not because of me but because it’s his new job too in new responsibility which he wanted to with off course huge pay. He has even planned an induction program for me that too for one month whereas induction program itself is unprecedented in this firm.
