Life in Bangalore
Today, while I was holed in front of the laptop, I had a sudden overwhelming feeling to talk to someone! Was I lonely in a city teeming with people?Yes, today I didn’t talk to anyone – not even on the phone. This thought chocked me – took me to my life in my 20’s. Then, I had a string of friends, who used to come home uninvited.
Only when I’m at the door, I would know who had come and I would escort them to my room for the usual chit-chat. Now, I also wonder what was the conversation in those days! What were the serious discussion – what it about the girl next door, or the girl he met on the bus, or the bedroom eye stories, or plan to travel or seek adventure….
While I was thinking of all these clouded thoughts, I heard someone at the gate. The typical sound of the gate opening made think of some possibilities. Is it my friend who stays at the next junction, who had come to give a surprise, or a neighbor who had come to share some evening snacks!
As the person approached the door, I understood that it was the water delivery person!
Back to Reality!
Life has become a bit of bore these days. No job also means that there’s no idea sharing, frivolous talk at the water filter or coffee break.
In 2019, I wanted to change it and I think I will make it!
Life Easier some 20 Years Ago!
No need to complain of the jolly good life that’s history. Let me make it green again!
