Bangalore diaries

Day 1:

- Flying over Mumbai yet another time, I promised to come back :). Got a pretty warm good bye from hostel mates and a surprise visit from a new acquaintance.

- Bangalore rocked @ night. The weather was nice, antiquity was good, and two friends high on nostalgia even better :D.

Day 2:

- Wake up late, pass time, check mail and get ready for lunch. Ideal morning :P.

- Time pass @ Reliance Time Out after lunch. Get to know of Pol Pots and Edi Amins.

- Get bored, settle down in a coffee shop, and write to your friend on coffee tray mats in absence of paper :P.

- Meet new people, special people :P. Watch a bakwaas movie and roam around the near dead city in night… Time to get to bed.

Day 3:

- Repeat day 2 as much as you can.

- Try doing something wild, ask a girl out for coffee. Accept a ‘no’ and try recovering from the treatment :P.

- Listen to “Hallelujah” and get rejuvenated. Prepare a blog entry sipping the Kashmiri “Kahwa” tea.

- Find a firangi babe sitting alone in the same cafĂ©. Ideal setup for a ‘chance pe dance’, he he. Oops! It worked :).

- Chit chat, and just when you don’t want your friend to show up for 10 more minutes, expect a surprise visit. Curse him later, but it won’t help :P.

- Get hurt on the foot, no problem. Pay a compulsive boring visit to your kin – get thoroughly bored and sleep like a devil.

Day 4:

- Get ready for fun. Shave your head, and take a decision. Offer more than hair to the lord. Work towards the commitment.

- Join in the running trail. Pass an ordinary night. Sleep while others turn in their seats :D.

- Join in the line of the lord. Support sleepy falling off friends.

Day 5:

- Indistinct transition of the day, coz there happened no night. Morning did happen though, at a lodge which offered an hour’s sound sleep.

- Miss breakfast, rush to catch a bus about to leave you stranded :D.

- Pretend to feel fresh, and keep dozing off at every opportunity. Wake up, make and crack jokes at every opportunity, sleep, and repeat.

- Wait in line for an hour or more, get a glimpse of the lord for a minute. Not that it was less, because nothing will fill your heart staring at that majestic site.

- Cool breeze, nice view, four friends and laddus. Made my day! Get late for the bus yet another time :P. Who cares by now.

- Shuffle seats and exchange wish lists. Get to know better, and enjoy the company.

- Get down, get wild. Eat, roam, drop back home. Get senti and all, and cut the crap. Reiterate we had fun – we all know we had fun – to make it even more lasting and positive :P.

Day 6:

- Face a power cut all day. Sleep, sleep, sleep and suddenly wake up to call Prafful.

- Get into a bar, share past and choices. Regret not being more with a guy of your tastes and views. Deny getting high on 7 beer glasses :P.

- Repeat silly and redundant phone conversations. Make the lady at the other end listen to you, and thank her for the concern she expresses :P.

- Sleep at some hour without realization, and thank your friend for being around.

Day 7:

- Wake up and tabulate events. Enjoy time, wait for internet access, wonder if the parcel was delivered, and when to meet Shishir, and what all interpretations last night call left to that special someone, and when to give a call to Chitra.

- Look forward to another great sunny day :).

Signing off!

Rajat said...

@ Shishir: "why so?" on the first comment.
And how do you think it makes sense to suggest me to convince Vij to start blogging?! Especially when you leave no relevant comment for my own blog :X (:D)...

@Vartika: Delhi will have to wait, but it'll happen... hopefully before Sudan :P.
