The end of the beginning
It's the 2nd last day of the working week & also of our project internship at Sub Cubicle 00, Cubicle 46, BP ODC, B Wing, 3rd Floor, Tower 5, EC 2, Wipro technologies, KEONICS Electronic City, Bangalore.
We'll soon leave behind everything that we had grown accustomed to & familiar with in the last 3-4 months. The '1 BHK' pad, the mirror on the kitchen window, the Baron 14 inch portable (C.P. 3,800/-) & its remote, the karate practice in the mornings on the nearby playground, the struggle to wake up on time in the mornings which I often could not overcome, the daily bath with 'heated' water, breakfast at the mess (& the people at the mess-Aunty, Ravi, Rajesh, Prasanna, Rupa), Govind Shetty Pallya.
EC phase 1, the 5 rupee auto ride to work, Gate 6, the people at the office - Anjani, Shridhar, Amit, Arun, Manzur bhai & his shayari,Shashank, Anil Kant Chaudhry, the people at the other BP ODC - Ashwin, Hemant (ye 'galt' baat hai), Puneet, Kavita, Soumya, Sodexho & egg biryani @ Rs. 26/-, the pond with its ducks & the yellow plastic 'duck god', the stream of buses at 6 in the evening and walking back home past Omnesys, Flextronics, GE Thermo Electrics, Siemens, Infosys, ICICI ATM, HP, FANUC and AISIN NTTF before reaching City Sagar & coming across 'our' familiar waiter.
The good times - the rides to Madiwala @ Rs. 6/-, Forum Shopping Mall, Styx Pub & the tequilas, Sid's B'Day & Anupam's visit, Div's visit to our place during Holi & the airport trip, Soumya & his gang - Makode, Shirke, Netaji, Arvind (Chinki) & Princi. The drinking sessions at home & Vipin's dropping in at that very time and my attempts at 'smoking'.
The people - Sid, Sweta, Sittu, Goraksh Bedarkar, Ashok, Tarun, Riyaaz, Abhishek Jain, Pritish & Madhavi & not to forget the reestablishment of contact with Mayukh, Nilabja & Anand........
As Ali Haider sings.....bas yaaden, yaaden, yaaden reh jaati hain. So long Bangalore, hope we come face to face again.....soon.

This is not a comment I am really feeling the need to write.I have spent three months of my life in heaven in a place I would call a "dreamland"(ec2 , 3rd floor Bwing bp odc )my cubicle thats cubno-45...my anger frustration(siddharth knows) is a fear and that fear is really difficult to explain ,I really feel my heart would come out when I lie back and think about it .Would I ever get to meet these people once I leave ec SRIDHAR sir, anjani sir, siddharth , vivek ,Saurabh, manzoor sir, Disha, kaanthi...............Bangalore has been a life time experience for me , it has given me so many sweet memories....will ever in my life would I be able to get same odc ,same people ever in my life....Sridhar sir is standing in front of me talking to a colleague. I think this is the last day I am enjoying the life of my odc or may be one more day I would.But I am not sure about that. ........my brothers have been like a support system for me for all this time I love them a lot...........Writing more than this would be a punishment for me and the person reading it but really believe me I am feeling light after writing.
