Life in Bangalore - The beginning.....



Bangalore - The Garden City. First step into the city, and we were amazed by the spectacle that met our eyes!! We were full of energy, Blessy and me (all of 21), all set to take up the first job of our lives - and geared up and excited at the thought of living on our own in a completely new city :D .. Mummy dearest accompanied us to make sure we were in safe hands before she left back to Pune. "Appu, we are going to live alone! Can you believe it" Blessy's eyes twinkled as she said that.. And I looked at her, and jumped with joy at the mere thought. Mom and both of us went hunting for houses. We found a quaint little one bedroom house and loved it! (Just the thought of staying all by ourselves would have made us like even the most crappiest place, I am sure) However, this was a pretty little place. And we were getting it at such an affordable rate that we were all set to grab the offer. Little did we know that we had a surprise (one which we didnt really enjoy at that moment) waiting for us as we trooped back to aunty's place. Staying alone ??!! "No ma no... I will not hear of it".... Aunty convinced mom that we should stay with her - you know - all the 2 girls alone in a new city stuff - Boohoo. Mom tried quite a bit, but then ultimately, much to our dismay, she gave in to aunty's ideas.. So there we were, back to where we began from. Still, the thoughts of a new city, new job, new friends, and both of us together - still kept our spirits alive.. :). and we geared up to take on life! :) ..
