It’s been a home away from home.. new people, trips, experiences, feelings, fun.. it’s given me everything.. but i guess its time now, to move on.. n i want to sign off by reminiscing my stay at mangalore.. including the last 6 months when i never blogged.. i want to keep the feelings alive. it might get mushy, but here goes…

the love for mangalore was not at first sight.. it was gradual.. ;) the starting days at my old place at kottara chowki.. the sri ganesh shipping agency, which was my first home when corporate threw me to mangalore with no friend or batch mate to share a place with.. and then one day the polished bullshit guy, who was supposed to be the person who would get me out of mangalore by getting me a swap – smiled his way in from the food court queue.. by then gundu, my fellow dreamer reached mangalore after her corporate suppli exam.. and so with the only two people i know in mangalore, life started.. ;) new faces and new characters kept on getting added… a new house near the beach at ashok nagar.. and life goes on well!! :D

jan 6th - the happiest day of my life.. when my sister gave birth to my niece – the first girl child in my family.. :) and i rushed home taking a day off from work to see and hold her for the first time.. it felt like something i’ve never felt before.. she’s 2 months old now and was named ayisha, my mother’s name.. leaving my job will mean i can spend a lot more time with her and manu..

jan 24th.. when 4 crazy dreamers set off on a weekend to explore.. the places did not matter much, but the feeling mattered.. the feeling of the wind on our hair when we cruised on our bikes.. the feeling of togetherness, when our footprints touched the sea… the feeling of freedom when we fell freely and just let go.. it was the best weekend in mangalore.. here’s the travelogue by my fellow dreamer…

loads of trips before and after that.. anandka falls, panambur, suratkal, jamalabad, sulthan bathery, calicut – mangalore drive.. all memories now.. i bought paathu (Bullet Electra) in december.. the sheer joy of riding it is out of the world.. then came the DSLR camera, which i wish to master in the near future.. the new year at chechi’s rooftop, late night drives, the walks, the train journeys, shubham.. everything happened when i was at mangalore.. everything is still fresh.. :)

will i miss everything once i leave?.. i will certainly miss my office.. the people i meet only at office, the discussions, pulling everyone’s leg, breaking the silence, breaking the silence – gundu style, the journey to and from office, listening to my radio, birthday parties, chain mails, treats… other than that, everything will stay the same.. has to stay the same.. time flies… and it has gone by really fast.. i had blogged a few times after reaching mangalore.. and all those posts projected this deep-rooted desire to do crazy things!! and with time, being crazy has reached to such an extent that i’m quitting my steady job and breaking free.. will it make any difference?.. cant things be just the same even after i quit?.. i see all the answers in a future post.. and till then, i’m just letting time fly again…
