Bangalore as I perceive

Slurrrpp!! amazing crisp masala dosais, easily accessible and refreshing filter coffee, evening chat centers....this is 'Namma Bangaluru'.

Fly-overs, multiplexes, multi-ethnic clothes swarming the malls and style signatures made by pretty damsels all over MG Road and Commercial streets. The slow moving traffic has increased PQ--> Patience quotient among people although their HQ--> Health quotient seems to have deteriorated a bit.

Good ol' Bangalore is changing a part for good and part bad. After two long years when I just started merging with the colors on the canavas of Bangalore life , I hear about this terrorist attack in IISc. Gosh! I had worked here just a week ago. And I was probably travelling around IISc a little before the attack happened.

The rumours of serial/parallel blasts planned ofcourse have been revealed before hand. Thanks to all people involved in this effort.

The IT industry has made so much difference in clogging brain drain. I never imagined that it would be a major cause in the cross-over phenomenon. Well,non resident Indians, the merger of bollywood-hollywood spectra, and students going abroad for higher studies have made the world such a small place overriding intercltural, cross-continental barriers.

The magnitude of changes I am seeing never cease to amaze me. I still hope to think these changes will keep surprising me as pleasantly as they have been...

Its time now...

Its time now to go to back where I belong.I feel like a child, I feel like a woman....going back home after a reallieee long time could be as beautiful as painful as it can get.

The beautiful part needs no description, the painful part is something which cannot fit into words.

My mind is getting torn between the past,present, future and all the spaces between them. I need just bout two seconds for my heart to race. I am living and breathing excitement, expectations and fear. Tears dont fear barricades...wonder if I can hold them!

Is there anything more overwhelming than going back to where you belong? I'm still in a daze..
