Two years in Bangalore (an email)

Yesterday I completed 2 years in Bangalore. Whenever I look back at time it's like you have been blind folded and made to walk. When you open your eyes you have crossed a mountain you would have never dared to cross with your eyes open. Atleast, I would have never agreed to spend the next two years of my life in Bangalore especially with majority of my friends in Mumbai.
Still remember being very critical of this city mainly due to poor public transport (compared to Mumbai) and non Hindi speaking people. However, got accustomed to life here and became more tolerant rather indifferent to the inadequacies. Today I can wait 15-20 minutes for a bus without getting frustated :)
On the positive side of it, Bangalore has given me a job and more importantly given me an opportunity to pursue sports. Without sports life is really miserable, atleast I find it similar to walking on a tread mill; no matter how fast you walk you are going to nowhere. Now that I am in my company's cricket team and also learning lawn tennis, I feel life's become worth living. Afterall wherever you live these things matter more, you should have friends around you and you should be doing what you love the most, rest all things can be compromised.
How long I am going to continue here... no idea. I am too lazy and therefore dislike 'parivartan'. I won't take a turn unless the road ahead of me turns :)
