Recently, I hadn't been feeling the love when it came to my blog, so I decided to take some time off and give it a break till I had something of interest to write about. After having received a very gratifying message from a friend about my absence, I decided to jump back into the game. So here's what's been happening since my last post.
When you all last heard from me, I was in Mumbai and thinking of starting things off again with my ex boyfriend. Needless to say, this never panned out. We discovered that while we make extremely good friends, the minute you add something more to the equation, the whole thing goes completely off its axis. Having been seduced by the city, I was also simultaneously thinking of re establishing my roots in Mumbai, which also, (not surprisingly) did not pan out. While I was thrilled to be back in Mumbai, and couldn't imagine why I had ever left, over the course of the next few weeks I discovered that everything had changed, I had changed. I no longer felt the same connection that I used to feel with my friends, I discovered that finally, finally I had broken free of that bond that kept me so inexplicably tied to my ex boyfriend, and that while I liked to party five nights a week and piss all my money away when I'm on holiday, I have no interest in doing that on a regular basis. I don't mean to say that I didn't have a good time in Mumbai. On the contrary, I had a fantastic time with my friends, it's just that for the first time I saw Mumbai as my holiday spot and not my home.
Amazingly, with the turn of the new year, everything just started to fall into place. I returned to Bangalore, armed with a new job and no regrets. The city was finally starting to feel like home.
My first day on the job was amazing. I knew I was going to love this place before I even agreed to go for the interview. Somewhere, deep inside, my intuition was telling me to not worry about a thing, that I was meant to have this job.
This company was everything I was looking for.. small enough to feel like home, not small enough that you don't have any facilities, great people, close to home, good pay and interesting enough work. Finally, I am once again at a job where I don't dread waking up in the morning and going to work, where Monday morning fills me with anticipation instead of apprehension!
Now things have settled down a lot, and I wake up in the morning looking forward to my day whether its a Monday or a weekend, and soon, so soon, is the much awaited first salary!! Accompanied for the first time in my working life, by no debt and just a long ignored shopping list!
I'm so glad with the turn my life has taken, and I hope the Gods will forgive my insolence in saying 'after the last year I had, the universe owes me!!'
