Bangalore ke Doston Ko Salaam!!

Like a few stray n random thoughts written by me at 3 am on my last night in Bangalore.....all my own work (hehe...Behram Contractor will turn in his grave)!!

Like it all started on 29th January, a beautiful sunday morning when i arrived at the Bangalore airport knowing absolutely nothing about the city or the people or even my job profile for that matter! Harish was there at the airport and we went directly to what was to be my first (and the most beautiful) abode in Bangalore (Polaki's Diamond District flat)....A million thanks to you Anil for letting me stay on (i was going to stay for a day or two, ended up staying for 3 whole weeks). U r a Gem dude....a little rusty...but a Gem nevertheless!!

Like the work was all right...i mean i had access to gtalk n orkut...how tough could it get!!

Like every story has a hero...n u wud think with all my good looks it shud be me, but hey i am just the author...as Mariah Carey once sang the song 'n the hero lies in Draz'!! By saying thank you to Draz, I would be belittling all that he did for me...right from getting tht pearl drop flat to furnishing it to everything else...silly incident...but once , my door lock was not working n i was unable to goto my office...wht did i do...called draz...he travels 10 km....comes to my place...gives one punch to the lock...lo n behold...problem solved!! U going thru a tough time dude...but hey...when the going gets tough, the tough get going (and believe me, nobody more tougher than u, specially with that rod)!!

Like there was this girl in my class at school called Anu....we never said even 'hi' to each other ...n guess what...Bangalore gave me one of my best friends in her. I hope this friendship lasts forever. U have been a gr8 friend to everyone...specially after the tragic incident u guys @ 3M went thru...U r the best girl (even though u n Draz scandalized me @ Opus!!)

Like a breath of fresh air entered my dear friend Tanvir (Mihir to some maybe, for me it shall always be Tanvir) and his 'Goonda' dialogues. Apna live-in relationship mast tha na dost!!

Like every workplace has a troublemaker...mine did too...some Mangalorean guy called Santhosh...typical guy...oversmart, haughty, egoistic...but absolutely useless!! Hehe...this is my blog Santhosh...i ll write whatever i want too ...n whats more...i ll delete all ur nasty comments!! Thanks pal...u have been a gr8 friend...made me look forward to coming to office (even if it was to pull ur leg with my elderly friend Ramesh's help!!).

Like any description of my stay wud be incomplete without a mention of the gr8 Manish...like the time he took me too Mussoorie....n then to Coorg....saala, he didnt move his ass for 3 whole days...Laziness has a new synonym, Manish!!

Like my childhood dream was realized in Bangalore when i gifted beautiful 'Kangans' to my mom and fulfilled my bachpan ka promise (thanks to Draz's mom)....another proud moment was buying a rod with an ulterior motive (ya thts right, dont know y, but am proud of that)!!

Like those were the days of happiness, those weekend movies....tht megabowl ka bowling...those masti bhari parties...those weekends at my place doing nothing...

Like 'hariya, mere dost'...u were always there (whenever ur office frnds didnt take u out n ur roomies also ditched u)...By now u shd have guessed it yar...Jus kiddin!!

Like a famous Hindi poet had once said and I quote

" kaise bhula paaoonga mein dost, woh humara dostana, woh humara yaarana
Yaad rakhunga mein dost, woh humara dostana, woh humara yaraana"
