Initial days in Bangalore.

Ok.. this is my first attempt to write sumthing..!

I am working in Bangalore for past 1year now... i was in pune before for a couple of months when i joined IBM.

First I was not happy with the fact dat i have to live here, coz most of my friends were in pune and mumbai and the fact that b'lore is quite an expensive place to live in... but i thought it will be a new experience, so i accepted it.

First few days of stay were very good.. new place, new people, and the fact that i was living very close to Mount Carmel college.. (famous for chicks and deepika padukone studied here.. :P). I still remember in the morning when i used to leave for office, i had to pass this college and at that time all the girls used to enter the college, and i had to walk opposite to their direction, so it was like a flood of girls coming towards you..hehe..

Any person coming to bangalore for the first time has to visit the M.G. road and the Brigade road, coz there is so much hype about these areas plus there are alot of pubs around. So when I went to the brigade for the first time in the evening and my jaw dropped..!! oh my GOD!! is this INDIA..!! I saw such crowd for the first time. I could see people of all nationalities here, there were more foreigners than Indians. The road is about half a Km long, full with colourful lights, and shops of all good brands. And lots and lots of beautiful girls with small clothes.

(I belong to a very small city called bilaspur from Chattisgarh, so this kind of reaction is pretty obvious, but now I am pretty much used to these big city cultures.)

So I went to brigade road a couple of more weekends, and I very soon got used to girls in short clothes, and it was not exciting any more.

Its very difficult to be happy in a new place with no one u like to be with, actually its true for any place, after all its the people around you who make you happy. I was finding new ways to be happy, once i was so bored after office i went to a wine shop, bought a quarter of 'Hercules rum' and coke, and i drank it all alone.

I believe this was the aftereffect of leaving the college.. as I was living in a hostel with friends around me all the time, and leaving college was one of the worst things i have ever faced. So this 'missing college' feeling was inside me for a long time.

I used to talk on phone alot, with my friends with my girlfriend... and tell them how bored I am.. and it was the same story everywhere..

This was my story for the first couple of months here, later in IBM i made some good friends. And Bangalore was no more boring for me...
