Oh these dogs

Today, I accept that i've a fear of all these canine animals especially dogs because they are in so large numbers, and i don't get to see a lion everyday. Now in this city, every time I go out, it becomes a nightmare. People here have a bad habit (or requirement) of having a dog in there home. Sometimes these dogs are literally Bull dog, huge really huge. And people often leave them on road. Oh god, can't tell you, how fast my heart beeps at seeing one such dog. The owners come to rescue only when the person (me) has lost half his life and is almost white.
Please, don't leave your pets open and save half-lives of people like me.

This is about Bangalore

I was worried before coming to Bangalore. I am from a small town, and coming to  a metro was a big leep for me. And with that, this metro is in South India, and different language seemed another problem. But now I must say that I feel no different being in Bangalore. While my flight to bangalore started decending, i was amazed to see the view beneath. All I could see was coconut trees and fields. The concrete jungle was absent from view. It was later that I came to know that airport is far away from city and sounds of planes are not going to disturb me at night.

From the moment I landed, to now, I rarely needed to speek English (though I do use it sometimes, so that person I'm talking to feels comfortable). Almost all persons I meet know Hindi, and some shop owners can even crack a joke in Hindi. That is very comforting. 

Bangalore always has cloulds over it, and so near that I imagine they must touch the top of some of tollest building here. Bangalore, is truly the city of gardens as it is called. Normally you can't see houses as they are hidden behind trees and you feel like you are walkiing in a forest. When I see from the roof, these clouds on sky and trees on ground, with birds flying, is all I can see. It make me feel more like my home, that small town. 

In Bangalore you can't say afternoon or night. Just morning and evening are applicable. It really doesn't matter when you get up, at 6am or at 10am, you'll always find same cloudy weather. And in nights, when I go out and look to the sky, The clouds are still there and are brightly lit by the lights of city. It's amazing to watch and probably I won't ever need a torch on your roof.

Really, It's always amazing to live here.

What's wrong with us

It has been about 1 month for me in this company. Till now company has been very generous and I and my friends have been given almost no work. As if we are extra assets, company doesn't know where to dump us, and is spending really lot of money on us ( and we even got our first salary). and for me, I know, there won't be much work for next one or two months, if there is any. Now that's something that should make any "working" person happy. But I know there's something wrong with us. Personally I'm tired of roaming around and going out every weekend. And now even chatting all day on gtalk seems to be boring. And believe me, all 10 of us will be the most active reader on Times of India website, because when we're not chatting, we open news paper and keep staring. 

I can't really predict, but if this continues in same fashion, after some days, we'll be begging for work. If our bosses have planned all this, then they must be damn good strategist. I hope that we don't loose our patience here. Wish us good luck.
