Life on hold

I've been keeping my whole life on hold for the last 5 months or so. I've been postponing almost everything that I needed to do saying "After I get to b'lore...". Finally got sick and tired of it and decided that I might as well start life here. And whaddya know - exactly like a Murphy's law - that is when that move had the first chance of becoming a real possibility in the near future.

I know that I have to start working out again. Got to buy a car. Stop eating out every single day. Clear my credit card bills. Till last month I thought I'd do all these things once I get to b'lore. One day I woke up and realized that my life in B'bay is more miserable than it needed to be just because of me! No, didn't go out and buy a car. Would have done that if I had more money ;-) What I did was to go out and buy all that I needed for a full fledged kitchen - starting with a fridge and then going all the way to plastic shelves to stack jars of spices! Started cooking dinner everyday. And I definitely was happier. Now life here is occassionally even fun - though I'd hate to admit it. And whether I change my job or not, I am all set to move into a new apartment and buy a car come January. I think that the day after I do that is when I'll land a new job! Somehow, life has a way of sneaking these things in exactly at the time that you are least prepared for it.

And i'm sure that once you start enjoying life in Bombay, Bangalore will be a lovelier place to live in. They're just making sure that the job in Bangalore is tuned out to be exactly like you want it. It takes time to build the good things in life...wait, and you shall be amply rewarded.

Anon: Thank you for the nice thought. But if I may ask, who is "they" that you are referring to?
