Going Places!!!!

Life is indeed taking me places... From the happening streets of Hyderabad to the city of constant buzz, Mumbai...and now to hub of IT Industry in India....the garden city of Bangalore...I've been moving around and all this in a span of just four months!!! I'm now exploring my country in a completely new light....and on my own terms....


With the first job in hand and new dreams to be fulfilled I moved to Mumbai. The experience was just fascinating.. The city literally never sleeps and you find constant activity milling around you... There is just no time to take a break. Almost everything which I experienced over there was first hand and at times I was reeling from the impact....I learned a few very important things about survival....of getting along inspite of the adverse circumstances....of realising the importance of time management....and thanks to my roommates..a phenominal improvement in my cullinary skills. I did a change a bit..my perspectives broader and my experience richer...


There was just one thing missing in my now vibrant life in Mumbai.... a project to work on...When the opportunity did come along...it was not in Mumbai but in Bangalore.... Before I knew it I had packed my bags and shifted my base to the garden city.. I moved again within 4 months...and now with me working in a project guess time is on a fast forward mode...coz its already been 4 weeks since I shifted to Bangalore... and I am not even aware of it....Its already Thursday now and 1 more week just flew by...And here I am...yet to meet my all friends....



Did I think I would miss Mumbai???..nahhh...Bangalore was a dream city to work for me...all the time I was in Mumbai..I was praying and hoping rather feverently to be placed in Bangalore...and now that I got my wish...I realised that I do miss Mumbai....I miss those days spent eating pani puri and vada pav....the days spent listening to Radio Mirchi and Radio City....the days spent marvelling at the spectacular sun set near Powai lake.....the days spent caught in nightmarish traffic jams.....the days spent window shopping at all possible places....the days spent rushing off to a movie in the very last minute.....in short ...the days spent just rushing and enjoying every moment of it....the vibrancy of the city was palpable....I was never more aware of things around me......Now I realise...I do miss the city....and I missed all those showers for which its sooo famous....



So does that make my life in Bangalore dull??....Its an emphatic NO....I am yet to explore it...Its beauty and cleanliness...a complete contrast to Mumbai.....Its attitude..laidback..... At very corner I find hordes of software professionals.... A reminder that I now work in the IT capital of the country.... I spend my time after office..exploring the lanes of my locality and trying out the food at various restaurants.. Life is at a more leisurely pace now... the work at workplace..exciting and challenging...teaching me the extent to which I still need to grow and learn....My team...supportive... I'm experincing life in a new light now...



Guess I'll sign off now...I need to explore the city and collect my share of memories from this place....Must say..I'm indeed going places
