Big City Life-2

When i embarked on my journey to Bangalore i was one of the few guys of our age who hadn't yet taken up smokin or drinkin, this was the singular aspect of your's truly on which his parents cud take pride....so in my room only me n siran were the ones who had yet to fall for the cajolery of either tobacco or alcohol. The rest, n most of them were for the 1st time away from home took to alcohol n tobacco like a bee to nectar. I had absolutely no problem with ppl smokin or drinkin in my room coz i never studied nor did anything which required much concentration....the only person havin problems was my dear pal siran coz he had an allergy to smoke, alcohol n anything that normal youths do. He is wat u call in our words a 'specimen'. No matter which time of the year it is u will always find him listenin to Bihu songs sung by the champion of Assam-Zubeen Garg n the only other music that he lends his ear to are sung by elite musicians like Falguni Pathak n Daler Mehendi!!!! Now Mr. Siran couldn't take the atrocities occurin in our room anymore n complained to some nerdy seniors after which we had quite a showdown with them. The showdown didnt result to much coz there were only 10 to 15 seniors while we juniors were somewhere around 80. Nevertheless after the petty squabbles the complaint backfired on siran himself n suddenly strange things started happenin to him. He found his bed broken twice, so were his despicable shades n lots more!!! I will agree siran that though i had no reason for doin all that yet i took part in a lot of those plans coz it was just 2 excitin n i am a born prankster!!!!!!
I would like to describe the most important thing of Bangalore-Weather!!!! Ouf the weather n boy did it use to be gud when we arrived....the misty mornings followed by cool breezes n an almost always cloud-filled sky, could make a poet out of every man!!! It was the biggest monsoon season in bangalore after 32 yrs n we all got wet at every possible oppurtunity....

Big City Life



Well this is me!!!!! I am mostly sleepin away to glory in the daytime while the nite brings with it several propositions which are 2 temptin to deny thus fillin my days with slumber. This habit of mine has led me to several problems among which my lack of attendence in college is the most disturbin....

Now, the topic of this blog is actually a story of a naive, small town boy's evolution n his experiences durin his big city life. I can still vividly remember the day when i landed in bangalore with my parents, met my brother Preetam n took shelter at Sudha Lodge. Firstly, let me introduce u to my genius brother...He is the superstar of the family, a 75% MCA pass-out, workin in Infosys.... everything i m supposed to be n unfortunately everything i am not. He passed out of the same college that i am presently studyin in therefore subjectin me to extra attention of all the professors n their whims. Now i guess u are well acquainted with mr. infi therefore i will move on with my story...so i finally arrived at the hostel n boy was i impressed with the hostel campus!!!! It was a huge campus with a large enough field to again fuel my dreams of representin my dear nation in cricket which is an all out different topic that i hope i can jot down some other day.....the icing on the cake or rather the whole jubilant feelings were caused due to the near proximity of the girls hostel to our own....playin cricket, pretty girls in the same block n a cosmopolitan city to live in....life was gud it was....

The only things i remember of the 1st day at college was me tryin to avoid every senior n catchin a glimpse of every girl around....My friends at that time consisted of my new room-mates- Siran(My present room-mate also!!!!), Dipjyoti(My 1st friend or i thought so), Krishna(an atrociously funny guy) n Amod(One of the many weird ppl u meet in life)....we were all new to this city, of the same year n therefore bonded quite easily.
