I came to this so called "Garden City" this day. I had visited this city many times, in fact, had stayed in the outskirts of this city for 3 long yrs..but things were different then....Now, was a totally different scene.
Like many other management graduates, I came to this city hoping to make it big in the corporate world. What else could a management graduate want!! Joining the Management Consulting team of one of the "Big Four"...
This fresh mind came in here with the hope of starting a new life. I had always heard that Mumbai is a city that teaches you a lot, makes you experience everything, it not only gives a lot but also takes from you a lot. Although, i was born and brought up there, i had never got that feeling there. However, this seemed to be applicable to me here in Bangalore.

I would be completing almost 6 months of my stay here. As I press the pause button, there are innumerable questions that flash right in front of my face.....Ashish!!!! What have you done all these days? What have you learnt? Have you grown (apart from physically growing horizontally)?? In how many faces have you brought a smile? In how many faces have you brought tears?
I always prayed to the Almighty to bestow me with challenges so that I become stronger and mature..God was delaying but never denied I guess..:)....
The best thing happened to me here and the irony of life is that I have now chosen to give it up myself. The immediate reaction that comes is "Are you sure you wannna lose the best?"
Well, it does hurt a lot to lose the best....but then...................................................................
I know my thoughts are very random, going around in 100 diff directions. The more i think of trying to calm it, the more disturbed i am...As usual, the "Unclear Ashish" seems to be even more unclear.
