On yoUr MArk ... GeT Set Goooooooooo

How did I come upon blogging????

Good question….

To this one I have some weak links but no definite answer. Let me try giving you the BIG PICTURE

A bit of Myself: Am not an outspoken guy or a much of talker if you have to understand it that way. Of course I do have my moments when everyone around either by force or will, listen to me intently, but am sure all of us have those precious moments in life when your word is given some credibility (If you still haven’t had them dude, there are some major unattended issues better hunt for them fast.)

To put it into one line “I think am something close to being an Introvert but standing with my back to it”. (Confusing na.. well I was confused how to put it so it had to come out this way.)

Past Life: Back in Mumbai finding like minded freaks was never an issue. Any new place I was into, be it K.J.Somaiya (junior coll) or RAIT (Engi coll) was always fortunate enough to find guys who had similar ideas (bunk classes, kill some professors or even blast the whole dam university building just before or after the results. If you are an engineer am sure you understand how famous these ideologies were)

Well to cut the long story short always had pals around to manage and balance any mood and make life cool out of those as well.

Present Life: Bangalore (oops) Bengaluru…..

All new fresh start, an attempt in life to do different things which I would have never been able to do in Mumbai. My first job and guess what ????? found a bunch of junkies here too, proudly categorized as the RED CODERS. Well we have a few scholars too in it but the rest of us have done a fabulous job in making them as useless as we are. We call ourselves the OTHLA GANG (for the sane readers not knowing Kannada OTHLA = jobless, useless personality). A major credit for this piece of art goes to a bunch of othlas from the gang viz the big boss OTHLA aka karthik, the mallu queen aka ANN amma , Bhargavacharya and the dude who has parted ways with the company (and is no longer around with fruit plates during lunch) Anand

So all you guys who are utterly disgusted at reading this one you know whom to blame (Bad inspiration can never result in good art...)

Well but they are not the only reason..

There is one more major contributing factor

WHAT DO I DO ON WEEKENDS?????????????

Weekdays is fine with work and all to keep me occupied, but come weekend and the problem starts, face one of the biggest hurdles of staying alone in a city where you have recently settled your ass.

The othla gang comes into rescue at times but, they can’t be here forever can they? with their prior commitments and huge list of pals. Distributing the 2 days of weekend such that you give equal time to all the pals you wanna be with is a difficult task, which I would have faced had this been Mumbai and not bengaluru (How I wish it would be so), hence no pestering them with sms’s and mails and calls.

The need to do something other than blind surfing the net and watching movies one after the other at home and living in a room with just your comp and a bed doesn't give one much options either..

So this is one activity to which am gonna look forward to on weekends. Don’t know how good the blogs will turn out to be, but no harm trying na if nothing else at least my writing skills might get a movement in the upward facing graph, however less in magnitude the upward displacement might be.

Hoping for the best…..
