Nightlife in Bangalore and New Year

I went for a movie on Christmas night along with my friends to Innovative Complex in Marthahalli. this is a half an hour drive away from the place I live. Now let's get more specific, this was a group of 6 guys and me one girl (yeah yeah...I just land up with guys as friends most times). Now on a general note this should have been great for me, any girl's dream, 6 guys and just me. Well, it was. It's nice to be pampered at times. But there were some instances that disturbed me.


After the show, when I stood on the road at 10.30pm I had this creepy feeling in me. I felt as insecure as I feel in Kerala even at 7pm. I knocked my head a couple of times saying"Chill girl..this is the IT hub of India!!" But the knocks didn't help! On the way back home, even the cops gave this kind of suspicious look that degrades you at any point in the day!

I wonder what's wrong with the city. Is nightlife all about call centers, pubs, drunken driving and X rated stuff??? There are loads of stuff I would love to do at night. It would be nice to take a walk on the road, a drive to coffee day on a day of tension, or watch a late night show!! The morale traffic police can do their job. I have no issues against them. But they have no right to go overboard by shouting at people having a juice at the juice shop or sometimes even rushing to take a late flight!! Spare us!!!

What's the use of complaining to extend the deadline on New Year's eve to 1am when we have way to go on a normal day too...Bangalore has miles to go before being truly metropolitan!!

Merry Christmas!!!

It's that time of the year where people go crazy, people make merry and I am the happiest. It's new year again. I never look at the year end with the missing feeling... I remember all the good times that happened throughout the year and look forward to more good times. New Year brings a lot of hope and joys...

So make merry guys, have fun and keep safe for all those people who plan to drink their way into the New Year..till then keep partying!!!

Happy Days!!!

There is something I just could not help mentioning. Yes, for anyone at all who is anxious to know, I had a great weekend. Moreover I am happy these days. There are a lot of reasons for the same. People around me, availability of time to myself and then what I wanted to talk about. This book I have been reading - The Monk who sold his Ferrari.



I love the book. I love each section of it. I have not only read the book but read between the lines too. I feel the difference. Maybe it's not something like a permanent fix. I would still have the usual mood swings for sure, but still at the moment I am happy.

Till now I used to leave it to others around me or the situations I am involved in to make me happy. I slowly realise that there is so much I can do to make myself joyous and that's precicely what I am doing these days. I am keeping myself happy. Substituting each negative thought of mine with a positive one, a thought that makes me feel thaat life is worth living for!

Surely, Life Rocks, guys!!!

Eeeeeeeekkkkkssssssss!!!

It's been a long time I haven't returned to my blog. Yeah, I could reason this too...but well it's my space right!! The reason is very silly according to most people...I missed my weekend!! There were 30 others who were in the same plight but somehow i seem to be affected more than others.

It is always said that whenever we miss something we understand it's importance. I thought we miss people near to us and objects dear to us. I looked forward to weekend most times but never missed them. Last week we had an training program for two days. Both Saturday and Sunday and for 9 hours. Oh no!I have still not recovered from the fact that I did not have a weekend.

I am all cranky at the moment. I feel frustrated. I feel like blasting everyone at small instances. I even feel like taking an off and sitting at home. Don't get the wrong ideas that I have this oh so important work to do in the weekend or out of the world handsome guy i have to meet. Hmm..nothing at all..but I need the weekend to refresh.

I just lay on my bed and think of how I did nothing through out the week. I plan for great things to do during the coming week and then the next week I am back to same square!! but I love it that way. It refreshes me when I think of no work for those 2 days. I am one of those persons who clearly draws the line between personal and professional life. So out of the 9 hours in office, sorry boss I don't think of work!!!

So I am still cranky but then hey ...It's Friday tomorrow. So next Monday a new beginning. I promise myself!!
