A Year In Bangalore




It has been a year in Bangalore..  देख थे  देख थे  एक साल गुजर गया... It was June 23,2011 when we(three of us) left for Bangalore.
The first journey started with a small accident, gracefully nothing happened to anyone. 

It was the end of June when the rainy season had just started. The bus was coming from Humnabad, and on the way near Kamalpur town, some guys were passing the road with cows. All cows passed the road but one cow suddenly fell down on the road. The driver honked so hard and tried his best to save us and the cow. 
As it was raining, the break wasn't right and to protect the cow he hit our bus to a signboard, rock beside the road  ... oooooh my god, it was what I heard from the passengers. That rock was huge, with a strong hit it came out from the land and turned as if it was telling us to see me, how strong I am.... well we all came out to see the scene .. there was no fear in anyone's eyes, mine neither. Only two people looked worried, One is the Driver looking for the damaged part of the bus and the other is the boy looking at his cow. He was screaming so loud that all were staring at him,. I was speechless, looking at the driver and the innocent small boy(maybe 11yr old). But it's neither the driver's fault nor the boy's fault. The fault was with that time and the slippery road. 
The boy started crying, see my cow.. what will I do,, what to tell my father,,!!!! The cow was stuck, the Cow was idle, with no movement, nothing! ., some of us tried to take the cow out from the road so that other vehicles can pass after the sometimes later bus was ready to start,, the boy was still in shock, finally the cow stood up and started running towards its herd,, the boy ran and followed the race with the deepest cry ever .. all smiled, and back to their seats, the driver and conductor spoke about this accident for some time and was back to their old topics.
This was how my journey started.  


 Now I am a one-year-old boy in Bangalore, I learnt so many things in this one year. I started loving nature more than before, I saw nature at its best in Bangalore, simplicity like nature is so beautiful. Bangalore is gifted with such nice weather.

In this one year, I met so many amazing people, visited so amazing places, and went to many crazy events.


Bangalore is costly because of two reasons, people from outside started loving Bangalore and moved here and second many came to Bangalore in search of IT jobs as it is the IT capital of India.
 Outside people their luxurious life started spending more money even though it's not worth spending so much, they started giving more money for simple items hence raising the cost of living.
  
And then I got a perfect place for me. I came to Chamarajpete Rayar Mutt, where I found a perfect place to stay. The main reason behind joining Mutt was homemade authentic food, but later motto changed, food was just the reason! there were so many things I was gifted there. I have always been looking for a place like this, loved the food, and the people.. Rayaur blessed me with a wonderful place. I had a keen desire to learn mantras and all rituals and traditions of our system and I got the perfect place to start learning them.
  
Soon after joining Mutt, I got my salary account, I mean I got one cabin, one identity, one goal and a team, I mean I got a job 

Starting days of my work: As I am just out from college, daily morning when I got up at 8am, I used to tell myself, "Today I will take leave and sleep for some more time". Starting it was a little challenging but with Som sir ( my boss) nothing was tough,, he is the best teacher I have ever seen in my life, I learnt so many things from him. I was really blessed to start my career and my first project with him.
 and then,...

 नौकरी  का  रंग ऐसा  चढ़  गए की  राग राग सपने  दोगने  होगये  ..बस दिल पे  सपने  और हौते  पे  गाने. Seeing so many thousands of money together was an amazing moment but now keeping thousand at one place is the difficult task which I am practising now-days.

At the start, we roamed around many places in Bangalore mainly malls, gardens, metros, and temples.
Majestic was our meeting junction on those days... coming there and  planning and flying  with BMTC (as we used to purchase all BMTC  buses with one single  pass :P )
Mantri Mall was the most visited Mall, but we never made Mantri happy, only window shopping.



As the days passed frequency of hanging out was reduced to once a month.
After that weekends were spent with  Saturday rest in MUTT with full super-duper dishes and Sunday to Ramakrishna Ashrama, Basavngudi, and Gandhi bazaar. 

Occasional visits to my home town on major festivals and some family and friend's functions. Every time when I go home everyone used to ask me why I don't come with more  holidays and stay some more days there with them.. and my prompt answer was- pakka next time I come with more holidays,,,(waiting for that next time to come)

 
ಹಾಗೆ ಒಂದು  ವರ್ಷ  ಕಳಿದು  ಹೋಯಿತು.... .ಆ   BMTC  ಬಸು ,ಆ ಪಾಸು, ಆ rushu ... ಇದೆ Bangalore ಲೈಫು .. 

ನೋಡತಾ ನೋಡತಾ Bangalore ಹಳಿದಾಯಿತು .. ಅದೇ  majestko ,ಅದೇ  Cubbun parku ,ಅದೇ  Mallu ...
Bangalore TV ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಡುಕೋ really ನೋಡುಕೋ tumba difference ಇದೆ..
Everyone who comes here gets addicted to Bangalore.. and I am addicted to Bangalore...
