Back with a fizz...


I am tired...I am so tired...Well, my trip to South India, specifically Bangalore is over. I am back in the relative comfort of my own room. Much as I had painted in my mind, I am sorry to say that Bangalore, Namma Bangalooru is Namma Bangalooru no more. It has changed. My little more than two week stay in Bangalore gave me the distinct feeling that the spirit of the city itself has changed. Its looks and feels meaner. I know, this sounds crazy right? Dont worry I will explain all this later in my next post.
My friend Savio called to threaten me (he threatened nicely of course) that I should update my blog soon...so thats why this update. In fact I wanted to update my blog but with a long post about my experience in Bangalore. I wanted to do that with the help of photos my friends had taken. And getting all those photos from them will take some time...so this is more like a filler. In short, I am back in Kolkata, in one piece and another year older. After I finish writing this post, I will go look over brochures for old age homes...ooh my aching back!
Before I go, a few things. My friend Rohan has become a CSIR JRF(Junior Research Fellow) and has gotten through into CDFD(Centre for DNA Fingerprinting & Diagnostics in Hyderabad) for his PhD. That makes me happy-yes indeedy. To be frank, I cant think of a more deserving candidate. As a matter of fact I think he is even more deserving of more hair on his scalp but oh well. Cant have everything can we? Who knows? Maybe he will someday soon. One can only wish for good things for him. My closest friend in Kolkata, Arkava, will be heading over to Ghaziabad for his MBA in IMT in a few weeks...thats another of my friends who has gotten through a tough set of tests and is heading steadily towards a bright fututre...I must admit, life will be lonely without my closest friends to hang out with. But I look forward to the day they will invest freely on my crappy films! Boy am I getting senile or what! I think this will do for todays post. I will leave you with the concept art of MEG, the shark film I mentioned in my previous post and the poster and screenshotz of A Scanner Darkly (july 7th baby-woo hoo!).Adios.
