Metamorphosis..

Posting Happened and i’m off from Mysore!! i’ve been posted to Mangalore by my company.. After around 4 months of training, me and my friend Divya Ramesh have been posted to Mangalore.. Just the two of us from our class.. Dasan got into Chennai, a place where you throw a stone to the air, it lands on one of our friends..

Mangalore is a place where not even one of our Batchmates or friends work or live.. And like an icing on the cake, on the day we got our posting, Divya’s father who is working in a bank in Mangalore got his Transfer!! Since we are a group of people who operate in a group, we tried a lot for a SWAP.. it is a procedure using which we can get into another location that we want, if some other person is ready to take our location.. but ours being a BIG class of around 45 people, we found out quite easily, that it was impossible so i had to join Mangalore and that was that

still makes me wonder why they dont give the posting of choice for everyone in the company.. according to me, it contributes a lot to a friendly work environment, but it seems the BIG management gurus tend to differ.. and in the end, policies will be followed.. but i enjoyed the days we tried for the SWAP especially something – the whole Bitch n Jimmy affair.. Even though life has given me lots of surprises, those days i was introduced to the Bitchiest female i’ve ever came across in life.. a person who needs Confidence to present her parents in front of others!! a person who is a lot of things, which i dont want to elaborate

so i moved to Mangalore on the 23rd.. Next day was my first day at office as an actual Software Engineer.. Mangalore is a happening place in terms of food!! i’ve been here only one day n whatever i have eaten was awesome.. maybe i’m exagerrating too much, but its really good when compared to the food at Mysore.. so it’ll be a lot difficult to have a CONTROLLLED diet here.. lets see, lets hope i liked the place and people i came across on my first day, though they were only 2 or 3.. n then i got leave for friday to go home!!

spend most of the days in calicut with Rahul and Thadiyan.. now i’m writing this on my return in the navayug express.. i know its a bit OVER to use the laptop in a train.. but the day has been so cruel to me that i wanted to jot this down.. another reason i’ve turned on the laptop is that, i’ve fallen in love with the song judaai from the movie jannat.. i Woke up today morning to find that my mobile was not working.. then had a BIG fight at home.. after that i found out from the railway station that my train is about 4 hours late.. so i sat there in the station at 2pm, and thought of listening to some music, but the iPod didnt have any charge.. after all this frustration the train came at 6.30pm and now here i am – still sitting here in the train, at Kannur Railway Station.. waiting for some stupid train to cross so that we can go.. another big thing that happened was i shaved my hair.. the metamorphosis.. adios amigos

Calicut Beach… walking in the breeze feels really good.. with deepak n ameeth.. we are almost all of the people who were left in calicut waiting for our joining dates.. life was boring, but it was good… it was fun at times like this.. went on to get a kite to fly… i’d flew one many times before, but somehow this felt like the first time.. it took some time to hold flight, but once it got off, there was no stopping it.. soon, the kite went so high that it was the size of a pupil.. we didnt want to let it loose, so we tied it to a stone near the beach bridge and walked away.. i kept looking back at it all the way and something struck me.. will i do this any time again.. a thousand times over.. hmm..

sukhwinder singh screaming ‘bas bas bada bole, ab kuch kariye…’ in my ears.. i’ve entered corporate life.. i wake up at 8 and brush my teeth n then bathe.. get into my armour which includes a tie on mondays n tuesdays.. smelly shoes.. n ‘walk’ to the big colloseum for what everyone calls training.. the walk to the place is just around 400 metres, but it sends some kind of sweet pain from the toes up till the knees.. the pain i call sweet as its the fatigue caused by that which helps in idling thru the session till noon.. after december 18th, each working day of my life was the same.. i never reached the colloseum earlier, but left the place later than 6pm a number of times.. complains mostly stay confined to my head, but for some very close people.. but i gotta live this life anyways..

slept long yesterday.. its raining heavily in mysore these days… training has reached its ending stage.. things have eased up a little lately.. we dont sit at office for long hours nowadays, unless we have a training project.. n the fact of the matter is we have one of those, every other weekend but i’ve started to like the work here.. mostly because i’ve tried hard to do that we get net in the evening from 5 to 9.. we cant access any public mails, so who needs net anyways.. walking to the foodcourt to have some food.. the umbrellas were kept to dry near my hostel.. it was refreshing to see the colours amongst the artificial lawns n gardens.. life goes on naturally..

i’m home after more than 3 months.. lot has happened in these days… i couldnt blog much, even after the many times aana tried to make me… wanted to write about the first marriage in our batch.. our own amar govindan aKa Comedy cant digest the fact that he has done it.. wanted to write a lot.. but nothing surfaced.. everything just lost somewhere.. so i’ll be silent till the next time.. silence is countless sounds combining to play in a rhythm… silence is a symphony…..
