Last Night in B'lore!

I woke up this morning, fully aware that tonight would be my last night in Bengaluru, as a resident. Not that I am attached to it in any particular way, but I did get attached to a lot of people here. I bid some of them goodbye today, my heart felt very heavy all of a sudden. I do intend to meet all of them again, but how often and for how long, I don't know. When the kids ask me 'Why do you have to go to Hyderabad Aunty?' or 'Can't you stay with us for ever and ever?' I don't have an answer for them. Couple of them even offered me a job when I told them that I got a job and I was moving. One said ' Why don't you work in Papa's office Aunty? He can give you a job.', all I could do was just hug her:) The kids are sooo innocent and sooo full of love, it breaks my heart to part with them.

The day began in a very normal fashion with my exercise-cereal etc. Then hired a cab to Indiranagar to go to Airtel office. Went to Total Mall to buy gifts for the kids. As I was signing the labels on the gifts, it seemed more concrete and certain than ever that this was probably my last time shopping there. And from then, everything seemed much more dearer to me. From the time in Total till the time I got home, whatever I saw/experienced will be etched in my memory forever. The last time at signals or Marathahalli Jn and everything else. It started as a routine day but the way it ended was anything but normal.

And now tonight is the last in B'lore as a resident here.. Last night where I would wake up and see the lake from my balcony.. no more ducks in the lake or sparkling water to wake up to.. no more walks in the open, clean and green air at Purva Parkridge.. no more swinging like kids in the play area... no more chasing kids in the park..

While I gear up for my new job and not-so-new city, I will have to thank B'lore for giving me some wonderful memories to cherish!
