Introduction

Hi, Instead of beginning with any thought or a topic, I would just like to begin by talking about myself. However self-centered it may sound, but this is the last topic I actually think in real life. Most of my days now are spent either in office or in daily chores. One year in Bangalore and it seems I have lost so much to this city. That is when I decided to start thinking about myself. Maybe be a little selfish...

I have never been a good writer or an avid reader. I have always been busy enjoying my life. No regrets whatsoever. Be it school or college, I had a blast. Can’t say it was a smooth ride all along. Lots of deep shits came in the way and I fell deeper and deeper. But I am proud of myself that I managed to bring myself up with the support of some precious friends in my life. Maybe some post later will elaborate on these things.

I was born and brought up in Jamshedpur. My childhood, teen years were spent in this lovely town. Here I made the best and I think I can say the truest friends of my life.

Jamshedpur as I see is a place someone will fall in love with. Not because of its scenic beauty or a rich culture. I think I like this city partly because of its ignorance to certain stuff like politics, social differences. And trust me this ignorance has been a blessing to this town. No one cares what your caste or social stature is in school. We just made friends, as many as we could. Life was so much simpler.

In 2004, I moved out of house, quite excitedly towards Manipal for pursuing an engineering degree. More than the degree, the thought of freedom was giving me a new high in life. I was all ready to step in adulthood and all ready to taste life. Which eventually I did. Some parts if it tasted horrible, but in the end it was the sweetest and the most lovable journey I have made in my life till now.

13 months back I moved to Bangalore. Do not expect me to say anything good about this place. Not that I didn’t try to get along. But this place is so dead that it actually will sleep through your pain, remorse when you are happy. This place lacks a soul. So much that I think half the attrition rate in Bangalore can be actually blamed on this lifeless city.

Looking forward to sharing more thoughts later, Bye.
