RING RING… not another forward message, I thought as my cell phone vibrated. I checked and realized it was an alarm call. It was 7.30 am. My God, it was my first day to college. Welcome to college, I said. I got up and after hours of mulling on what to wear, I was ready. Walking for around 15 minutes were really very exited. Finally, I arrived at my destination, my new college. I was on time. I went to my class and the most the most shocking experience came in front of me when i saw that I was the only one in casuals and rest all were in full formals. The whole atmosphere was friendly but it took me more than an hour to make friends, but finally I ended up makign 3 friends, one from Delhi, one from Guwahati and one from Kerela.

After a few minutes, we moved to our main campus which was around a 25 minutes drive from our regular campus. There we went to a seminar hall and all the faculties, mentors and program coordinator were present. The first person introduced himself and gave a brief description about the whole institution and what we are going to do in next three years. Flowed by the lunch we have some ice-breaking sessions. I realized that some were from the science stream; with some others were from commerce background. As I wasn’t a regular student in 11th & 12th, I knew that studies had no link to me and I would have to start from the basic level. So I concentrated on each and every word, he said. The four-hour lectures made me realize that it was not just another three year course; it requires much more hard work. Less the time, more the amount of hard work would be needed… this was my first lesson.

Finally I, along with my one-day-old friends, left the college. On my way back home, I recalled my days in school and all the fun I had in the past years. Well now, it would be a different story altogether.. this course, I mean. Welcome to college, I said to myself.

A new place, some new goals and an awesome life…..!

It’s been over three days since I landed in the city of gardens so I guess I am a little late in posting this, but first no internet and then no time meant that I just could not post this one earlier. Landed in Bengaluru on 8th July to live in what is popularly known as the biggest IT hub in the country, and trust me, it’s not far from the truth. The first glimpse of city not only confirms this, but also raises the expectations. A mesmerizing structure of tall buildings right in front of you and you just cannot miss the beauty! It surely won’t be an overstatement to call it world-class. The whole city is well maintained and the people are courteous. The only con associated with Bengaluru is that it is developed in such a manner that two places are far far away from the each other, and I had to travel a good part of 30 Kms to reach my destination, BMT – where i am going to stay for next three years. Travel from the the station is not a problem however; AC Volvo coaches run to and fro 24X7 and cover just about the entire city. Tried connecting to the internet on the way only to realize that I lost my old mobile so its no more with me and i wasn’t able to connect to the whole world ( internet ) in Bangalore! Super-irritated, I just passed time talking to fellow passengers. On reaching the PG (paying guest room), found out that the arrangements were way below my expectations, but somehow today morning i found out a 2BHK flat, which is in the center of where all north people and and the apartment is way more than my expectations. I was extremely pleased after seeing the apartment, we need to furnish it but all the facilities around the apartment is out standing.

Btw I was so much indulged in the city that i forgot to tell that why i came here, I’ve joined Alliance school of management for pursing BBM for my graduation. I would be spending the most important part of my life, the next three year here in Bangalore.

Back to track, the taxiwalas here are very unpredictable. Every other taxiwala has his own version of a random number generating software and comes out with a very different and outrageous figure for the same destination. My love for the number 7 never subsides and I somehow managed to get a BIL flash card displaying the number 7 .

The best thing about Bengaluru is the weather: one, it’s not very hot in here; two, it rains just about every other day here and gives me a chance to step out in the rain and enjoy the awesomest of all feelings. The best part of the week was when some I decided not to eat the normal indian food and rather step out in the rain and eat at the outlet instead! Ended up visiting A to B, had good masala dose, with a lot of butter followed by starters, along with redefined low service quality levels and STILL had a great time with my old-found friends!!

I’ll be discovering a lot things in the upcoming days, bengaluru walo main aa gaya hoon !
