Mistakes

Mistakes…
all of us make them…………..
Confessing or pledging not to repeat it………….

Alas… we never keep our words..
we still go back to our confessions and promises

Mistakes………big mistakes…..
some of them change us completely….........
Opening our then naked eyes to things that were always there,
yet chosen to avoid or discard,
and now made to realize the danger of giving in to the mistake once again….

But I…………………
Never learnt it the first time
Think i'm gonna repeat them …………………

Farewell Bangalore

It’s been 4 plus years in Bangalore and the city has become a home away from home. The 2 years of struggle in college and another 2 years struggle in corporate, all mixed with the sweet and bitter memories that friends and foes have given. I could say its been an action packed package altogether!!! A metamorphosis from the cocoon unaware of the world around it to the well developed butterfly, all ready to face the world’s beauty and its ugliness!!

So what happens when you move out of the place you love??? I really couldn’t reveal my feelings on the last day in Bangalore. Practically a wide eyed emotionless freak could be the only term that I can think of!! On one hand, I was devastated of the change, couldn’t jus remove the ‘fevicol’ bond with the place and my friends, and on the other hand, I knew I had to move out, for more struggles and achievements. The last week was spent with friends, going back with time, smiling over the wonderful times we’ve had, browsing thru some of the captured moments (Kodak moments), and teasing one another over their follies.

My friends, the freakos, and dakoos, have been there throughout, thru ‘bad nose’ times and masti times. Someday I would write a book about them…..all of them. None of us were alike, in looks or character. All have been experts in their own specializations. No wonder there’s the proverb that ‘opposites attract’. But yeah, we were a point of discussion or envy to the masses. Guess not many could maintain the same relationship even after 2 years out of college. We were together, be it movies, luncheon, concerts, shopping or hospital sessions, never seen alone……..

I realized this was coming, from the time that I was looking for a job change, but I still forced my mind to just concentrate on the number of days left and make them as memorable as possible.
As I leave, I have a huge baggage of memories to carry with me for the rest of my life. Bangalore…….will miss you!!!
