Christmas 2010

It's been a week since Christmas now, and I finally put my mind together to write about it. It was an average start, as I lumbered out of bed and remembered to head off to Hosur, which has become something of a routine now. I headed to majestic bus station,and got on a bus to yashwantpur. There were about 8 of us on the bus from the start to the finish as the driver was replaced midway. I bought a 10 buck ticket, and waited at platform number 1. The wait was uneventful, except that a heard a thud which was a railway employee falling to the platform floor, in what appeared to me to be a fit of epilepsy. He got himself together though, with a bit of help from the passengers, and surprisingly, no medical assistance was called for. I asked people around me where I would be able to board the Yashwantpur-Hosur Special, and was swiftly instructed to go to Platform 6. I went there and waited as a long distance train was getting cleaned and washed thoroughly. Then I saw a train pulling int...

Hosur Visit

I headed to Hosur on sunday morning, and after much confusion, reached there just before lunchtime. It's a tiny place, and not many people live there, and it was good to be somewhere away from Bangalore for a change. It had been over a year. Me and my father had simple lunch, and did some paltry shopping at the local "Megamart", and talked about a lot of things. It's a really tiny place, and a quiet one as well, and my father's new home, is bang opposite the local railway station. Evening set in, and we went to the station, and sat around for a bit. Nothing much happened, and I was quite bored by the end of the day because of a weak internet connection, that kept going off. The new bed that was ordered came in, and after much tossing and turning I finally fell asleep. I woke up today, Monday, at 5 AM, made breakfast after a long long time, and went to the station to beard the train the Bangalore Central. It was an awesome journey, I must mention, and it was pret...

Winter is here!

Winter has finally set in after much dilly dally....And I'm blogging here, in Bangalore, as I nurse a cold, that has made me quite weak, after a few days of running around in the sun. I have been very impatient in the past week. My father moved to Hosur, in Tamil Nadu, where he will be working. I logged into my blog account after 3 months or so, and it's good to see that people from as far as Bahrain and Russia have visited my blog. For a guy who's been stuck for over a year now, its quite refreshing, in ways that only I know...I've taken to listening to piano music of late, and have looked into various piano maker's sites, to look at how much one really costs. Listening to piano music really brought back a million memories of my school days; of sitting around the grand piano, and singing carols and hymns, and also the time spent during legally bunking maths classes, when I would just sit back and listen to Hamish play "Ode to Joy". It's winter, and it...
