Its been a month since I joined work. I'm an i-banker now! Did I mention that? Yeah... well I joined a 'boutique' investment bank in B'lore, a small dedicated team with some very interesting projects. We do work in very niche sectors, zara hatke, you may say. Things have been moving along well so far. Will have to travel a bit too, looking forward to that.
Staying in a hell-hole of a PG accomodation, only advantage being that its very close to office. Food has become a slight issue, dinner that is. I'm surrounded by fast food joints from Dominos and Pizza Hut to KFC. Aren't there any places where you 'normal food' here?! Still discovering the areas close by, so any suggestions would be welcome.
Looking out for an apartment now. So that's next on the agenda. Suggestions on that front would also be welcome.
Bangalore's a good place.. ok..classic understatement!! But I haven't had much time to discover the city thus far. Its good to have a bunch of friends here, otherwise existence would have become mundane. That's one thing I discovered. In a place like this, it becomes very boring if you don't have friends, because there are a lot of places to go to, but going alone would be pretty pathetic. In my case, that could also be due to the fact that I hate loneliness. There are times when I want to be alone (mein aur meri tanhai!) but for the majority of the time, I want people around me!!!
I have my weekends alternating between going home to Cochin and meeting with relatives and friends. Mom's alone now. So I'll be travelling back and forth, once in a while bringing her here. That's the urgency for the apartment too.
So life's drifting along peacefully right now. Work is good, not too hectic that I'm gasping for time, looking forward to the travel that'll come by, acco could've been better, both Mom and I'm coming to terms with loneliness. Got friends and family to keep my weekends occupied. Comfortable existence for once! :) Wonder how long it'll last till I become embroiled in another of those gut-wrenching decisions that life always throws up.
