12th January, 2013.
Evening 4:45 I got down at Krishnarajpuram Railway Station, Bangalore along with my sister. Coming down from Gujarat. (A state full of foodies and business minded people) my only worry was food in Bangalore. We boarded a local train to City Railway station and reached community guesthouse (Bangalore Vaishnav Samaj). To our surprise we got typical Gujarati food there.
Within two days We found a good PG for my sister and she finally started living in PG.
So this was my purpose behind coming to Bangalore. But still while writing this blog I am in Bangalore and haven't gone back to my hometown. Well it started with an idea and ended up in living in Bangalore. With just a planning of 7 days living in Bangalore I came to Bangalore and I just made my mind that I will live here and search for the job based on my qualification. So the journey started from there and its still going.
I stayed at Community guesthouse for around 18 days in which I applied to many companies and also went for the interviews but unfortunately rejected everywhere but I had nothing to loose. I didn't loosed the hope and continued with the same process. In this process I also got some part time work in one shop where I used to prepare power point presentations for a professional trainer which ended up into a recognition of my talent and a bad experience. After 18 days I shifted to other dormitory and stayed there for almost 10 days and continued with my job search. Finally I got through HS Brands International and joined the company on 11th February, 2013.
Well the journey though it seems to be easy, it went easily with few pursuits as follows.
Pursuit of finding Food (Roti) :- After eating too much of rice items for the initial 10-15 days my stomach as well as my mouth were not in a position to accept anything accept roti and Gujarati food. I traveled by walking in search of the food for around 5-10 kms and always ending up in just having pani-puri or rice. Still that pursuit is going on and my 6th sense says one day i will definitely eat Gujarati food.
Pursuit of Communication :- The most enjoyable pursuit was to communicate in English with everyone in Bangalore. Before coming to Bangalore I had watched the movie English-Vinglish. It was wonderful experience and it continues today also. When I open my mouth to speak English, God knows from where the words come and i speak fluent English. It was not easy in starting. Initially I was portraying myself as Sridevi trying to manage to speak few English words (It's not like that I was not knowing to communicate in English, but I was enjoying the change in myself). Each person I met I was thanking him for whatever i communicated with him and was doing everything in English.
Many other pursuits i did everyday, every minute of my stay till now in Bangalore and what all i can conclude up to here is that Bangalore is a pleasant city to live in. People are very nice here, helpful, cooperative. Corruption is there here too but thank god I haven't faced any and I wish I won't face it any. Honest people are very much afraid of Corruption and I am the one amongst many.
Climate in Bangalore is just awesome. Traveling is not a headache as seen in other metro cities.
So I am just enjoying every moment of my life here in Bangalore.
