Journey to remember….

             It was this very day last year I shifted to Bangalore, carrying along all those memorable childhood memories of Pune. Brought up entirely in Pune, I never felt I would be part of Bangalore, though I always felt like being part of some different city away from Pune just to be independent, explore myself J. And then due to some personal reason i had to shift to Bangalore (to be honest I was not in a state of mind of shifting ). There was something holding me back in Pune, probably the hesitation, fear of going away from your comfort zone, thoughts of adjusting in a new city, make new friends, new colleagues, etc and lot many things made it tougher. My mind was filled with lot many thoughts and it was really hard time for me to leave Pune.

I still remember the moment when all the good memories just flashed in front of me and my eyes filled with tears as I left Pune :(….

            Can’t forget the lovely pizza farewell party organized by my Pune colleagues on the last day at office and all talking about their Blore experiences J. Then those dinners and lunches with close friends few days before I left for blore, all trying to convince me to stay back, I feel so lucky to have such good, loving friends around and then thoughts came in….Why, why am i going away….

As I was less burdened with all these, there my school friends made it really difficult after that Village Roof top evening and ice-cream party :P, the most adorable, hearty, warm farewell J.... Time really flew off, I just feel as if it just happened few days ago.

As I came to Bangalore I said this to myself “Accept the change, learn to enjoy it, keep your lovely past in your memories, but never let it ruin the present. “ In this 1 year, I have seen a lot of changes in me (definitely good changes), both professionally and personally and I must say the credit goes to the lovely city, lovely people I have around me.

Though it was only location change for me professionally, the team I was part of now TSD Begaluru as we call it J was totally new to me, I was meeting them all for first time and felt as if I had joined a new company :P. Definitely took me some time to adjust, but was not possible without all the support, warm welcome they offered and making me feel part of the family….Thank you team!! J

Overall to summarize…

Bangalore has taught me to live life at its best,

Overcome all obstacles bravely and not to fall prey to it,

Make mistakes, but learn from it, move ahead and learn to keep your calm,

Learn and realize that there is lots to learn and share, just don’t stop yourself,

Explore and realize what you really feel happy doing….

So what I believe is that having the right attitude, right people around you and right place is all that makes your life happier.  Just live your present, no matter wherever you are….make sure you enjoy every bit of the moment you live J

As I look back to the journey last year, I can say it has been a journey to remember for lifetime and both Pune and Banglore hold a special place in my heart :D
