I present here some pictures and though the pictures in this post are perfectly capable of speaking for themselves, I’ll give some background on these.
The first picture is of a shop on Whitefield Road that I pass everyday on my way to work and back. It was first noticed by a friend who shared it with me and its been the reason for many laughs for the two of us since then. But I felt something like this should be shared with the whole world so here it is in all its glory:
Notice how there’s no space between U and S which makes me believe that the apostrophe was just an afterthought. Now you know where not to go for all your refractory needs!
The second picture was taken by me just before the sunset last Monday from the terrace of my new apartment. Everything was just perfect and I was lucky enough to capture the sunlight piercing through the clouds:
The picture made one of my friends a little envious cos he’d been trying to get such a shot for some time now. I think its beautiful! The sunset can be seen here.
After living in my (now) old studio apartment for a little over 3 years, I finally moved into to a much bigger apartment in a new neighborhood.
What makes this move even bigger is the fact that I don’t live alone anymore. I share the new apartment with a colleague/friend. The new apartment is bigger, better, closer to work and the new neighborhood is one of the very few proper suburbs in Bangalore complete with wide, mostly traffic-free, tree lined avenues. The move made sense and I am happy I did it but I miss my old place. It even had a connection with this blog. I started regular blogging with this post about the loneliness I sometimes felt living there and the place made an appearance in the blog from time to time sometimes even with pictures. My old area of Benson Town - Nandidurg Road would also be missed by me. It too made a few appearances on the blog here and here.
What this move also means is that I don’t take the shuttle to work anymore. Though I won’t miss the venom-spewing buses, I will miss all my friends on the shuttle, some of who always listened to my long stories and rants about the smallest of things early in the morning! I will also miss some unusual and funny characters on the shuttle including ‘Loudy & The Kingfisher’, Jesus Man, Laptop Killer, The Twins and Toad (nicknames courtesy me and a friend).
I accepted this move as a challenge. I have never lived in a hostel or with roommates and I felt that this was the last opportunity for such an experience. So I’ve made the move and things have been good so far. I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be a mistake. Wish me luck!
