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!
Hey hows it going you commented on my blog a while back just checking to see how life is treating you
The links you have put in this post just made me know more about you
I’m trying hard though to guess the company on infantry road 
Never knew that you were put up on east bangalore, I was always thinking that it was south ! Also judging by the restaurant name that you mentioned on twitter, I kind of know where you have moved now
good luck …i also moved to another house last weekend
Derek: Hey, thanks for visiting. Things are good!
Venu: One of the purposes of my blog is to get people to know more about me. Its good to know that its serving this purpose
I have always lived in north-central/east Blr. I like it much more than the overcrowded south Blr.
And I think I know where you live too!
abhinav: Thanks! So u moved too, huh? Moving season eh?

i tried for a while … was bit bulky for me … and some gadgets didint work out for me …

subcorpus: Thanks! I am using Redoable and though it is a li’l bulky, it was the only theme that met all my requirements at the time and it suits my blog too. I had to work a little to get everything running. I especially struggled with the listen module that I use now
