Bangalore Diary Posted on September 13, 2016 It was the autumn of 2014 and I was in Pune,a person who is lost in the middle of his work,in a dilemma to continue the work or opt for higher studies, a person who wanted his long distance relationship to go strong and a person who was little home sick .Surprisingly there was an opportunity to continue my dream for higher studies in one of the prestigious institute IHM Bangalore,which means going back to my hometown for Durga Puja(being a Bengali and staying out of Kolkata during puja’s ..are you kidding !!!),meeting my parents after 6 months ,my girlfriend and friends..i was excited. All the fun time passed and it was time to step in to a new path,new life Bangalore,a city which never sleeps.I was excited with the overall culture,development,opportunities.On the first day saw a bunch of new people who was as excited as i am ,trying to follow their dreams.Although we were only 14 ,but trust me we can easily challenge 140.Most of them were my good friends but we were group of 7 who became really close (although i have a group of friends in Bangalore from my graduation).

We used to hangout together most of the time ,our favorite place PLAN B and Truffles,where we considered was very reasonable compared to other places.On the other hand my relationship with my girlfriend was at stake with misunderstandings,but i was confident of making things work between us .My friends were little bit crazy : Brij &Sourish -my roommates, always helpful and we have such a lovely bonding even now, none of us can forget our crazy FIFA nights…trust me during the span of two years we quarreled twice and the reason behind it was playing Fifa🙂, Anupa – one of my best friends, Sreeparna-I bet looking at her people will say my own sister,Roma-hot headed girl,but i always crossed all the limits in teasing her,Nisha- my accompaniment in all dirty talks.My graduation friends Rajannya and Sejuti-whom i know for 3 years ,they were my advisors in everything and both of them were hotties.We all cherish our special Pondicherry trip.Seriously i thought Bangalore was the best part of my life.

Time flied by and i was into my final year, tensed about my career, the present ongoings and also the future. During the first year in Bangalore, unfortunately I got disconnected with few of my friends, there were new bondings of love ,hatred and many other parameters.Seriously it was too early to define Bangalore completely at that time.

With lot of hurdles my so called long distance relationship was still going good and it has been about 5 months that we decided to  part ways as things were just not going right between us. It was this phase that I disliked the most and was in a frenzy attending campus interviews….rejections,hatred ,misunderstandings and many more…Destiny had its own plan and the group got separated…Brij got a good job and went back to his home town,Nisha and Anupa got opportunities to become a faculty,Roma opened his own bakery hub .It was me ,Sourish and Sreeparna who stayed back in Bangalore as we all got placed in different places of Bangalore….On the other hand Rajannya lost the love of her life,her father and is moving back to her hometown getting a very good opportunity in her career.

So…how can i define Bangalore????

A place where i got new friends,a place where the language is still unknown to me,a place where I lost a few of my close friends, a place which is somewhat to be blamed forr my breakup or a place which gave me the opportunity to grow in my career ?????.I cant be childish to define Bangalore,unlike me there are thousands of others who are coming to this city and experiencing the same things also.

So according to me Bangalore is:

Sourish – who guides me ,was never selfish,never thought twice before always blaming me for anything. Sreeparna – my sister,who always checks whether i had lunch on weekends,never allows me to wash my dishes(she is a maniac),and am proud to say that am an on the call consultant available for her anytime Rajannya -my advisor for 5 years,who can never think ill about me and vice versa ,although we met 4 times in this 2 years but I know that there is always someone out there (Rajannya) with whom I can share my ups and downs with along with make her laugh,tease her….. Thus i will always define Bangalore as being a huge part of all the mentioned crazy persons who will always play an integral role in my life and proudly say  they are my F.R.I.E.N.D.S

and yes i will be there for you !!!!!!!!!!!
