REVIVE

Well, not the revive that replaces your need for starch!

Reviving- this blog, the habit of blogging, and my self. That’s the whole idea.
It’s been aeons since I found the need to write here- life has taken many a twist and a turn since I last updated here, and the person who wrote on this blog before no longer is the person writing today. Well the identity with which she goes in the real world is still the same (my account isn’t hacked :P), but the person behind that identity- well the old me is no more.

Out of all the twists and turns on the road of life, some have been sweet, some bitter, and some bittersweet. From someone who was a total out and out extrovert to an introvert today, the journey has been surprising, to say the least.

This afternoon, while on my way to a friend’s place, this blog came calling in my thoughts- and as is my habit, I answered that call. I am now answering, rather. I wistfully thought of all the auto stories that I have missed writing here- all the good folks whose lives I hear about in morning conversations enroute to work, all those who hate Bengaluru’s traffic and yet are here for their livelihood, a few mean ones who I don’t figure before getting into their rick, and a few more who happen to drop me multiple times - and how the familiarity makes me love Bengaluru even more! When I meet the same auto person a second or third time, it gives me the feels of a rural countryside where everyone knows each other and everyone’s lives are beautifully interwoven into the others’- and I do give reigns to that imagination-before being dropped off to work which is indeed in this city of Bengaluru- a city, not countryside at all! Familiarity and kindness with folks who have seldom any business with our lives - like the cab and auto folks- in my daily life is that dose of uncertainty about who I will meet the next day. The irony isn’t lost on me however, that every single day I put my life in the hands of a complete stranger, quite literally, to transport me from home to office and vice versa. When’s Floo powder going to work for muggles? (Potter heads, I can’t resist a few esoteric references here and there!) I have also missed writing about my new workplace- it’s called Tally Solutions- and have definitely missed writing about Mr. Bharat Goenka, Tally’s founder. This is a customary beginning of sorts post- so I will not delve into too much details of everything- but suffice it to say I’m a huge fan. More about the man and his principles and my absolutely justified fandom in a later post :D There’s a lot more that this blog took than just about musings of my daily commute and work- it also was where I pondered aloud of life when life became unfathomable, put up stuff about classroom mayhem scenes (which now easily translates to office mayhem scenes- surprising how mayhem remains a common denominator :D). Here’s to everything that I wish to bring back on the blog- a bit of my life, and a bit more of me :)

Winding up feeling thoroughly satisfied- here’s to yet another new beginning. When an old friend (like this blog) comes knocking(even if just in thoughts), it is after all not done to leave the door unanswered!
