Bangalore 2.1
Ssup minions?
I'm updating the blog after eternity now. I dont
know why. All these months I've been trying to befriend this city, Bangalore
and yet, I'm still a stranger, I still sometimes dont have a clue where I am or
where I have to go. I know the ways, the routes, I know whats sold where, I
know who lives where, I can now pronounce the names of the places here, just
fine, funny but fine. I think I'm just okay now, not sad, not homesick, not
depressed, I think Im ok, I can live with this city. But what is that one thing
thats missing? What is that thing that still makes me feel like a stranger
here? It's not home. Home is always Delhi. The city I grew up in, the city that
has helped and abetted, becoming who I am today. Yes, the rape capital of
India. To me, its just not home, its my entire life, the way I think, the way I
look at things, I’m a reflection of where I was born and nurtured. I still hate
Delhi for the people who reside there, the madness, the rush, the non existant
civic sense,anyway, you know a funny thing? When I’m home, I wanna run away as
far as I can and when I’m not, I just wanna go back, its like an atom trying to
complete its octet, trying to gain its stability, you know what I mean? No? Ok.
But this isn’t what I wanted to talk about, I wanted to talk about why, why on
earth, have I not updated my blog, not that I have a huge readership or
anything. So, here it is, all these days, kind gentlemen of the jury, all these
days, I was busy cooking stories, trying to figure out plots, blowing sense
into characters, but all in vain, I could not, for the life of me, finish any
of those stories, none of them, absolutely none. I won’t give up of course but
now I know what I need to work on, so not a really bad deal, is it? Ssup with
you guys? Long time.
I made it to the news for all the wrong reasons, just saying :-J
As for missing Delhi, can take the (wo)man out of the city not the city of the man etc? Or maybe its the language, what was it that Cicero said, our common language is the mother of us all or words to that effect eh
