Mumbai has always been my home, my world, though I was born in Chennai, my upbringing was in Mumbai. This city dictated my life, like every other inhabitant. People, culture, friends, night life, rush trains etc. but what I found most intriguing is that in spite of busy life that people in this city carry on their back, they still have that warmth in their attitude. The attitude to reach to other person, help seek help, smile. This is something which I found very rare absolutely rare in other parts of the country. And I really cherish it, and personally I feel this is what the spirit of city is all about. 

It was like the old fable, for a frog in well who has never ventured out of the well, the world for him is the well itself. The same somewhat applied to me. Mumbai was everything to me, but then a small turn in my life, a positive one which I realized later. I changed my job from an IT company to a major & prominent bank. And as a part of my job I had to relocate and I was required to undergo my on the job training in several branches in different locations for a year! Tough it is, isn’t it? Ifor me this situation was like that of a child who was going to school for first time. Now I hope most of you will be able to relate right?

So off I left my home, trust me people, never in my 27 years did I ever leave home for that matter my city. This was lot off new experience for me. I was partly eager and partly anxious. Okay I think I m drifting from what I want to express. Well my training schedules were going fine, and the places that I needed to report were equally interesting, I spent most my schedule in Goa, yes you heard it right, its Goa. And this made many of my colleagues jealous. But then here I unfold my journey now that this journey just 1 more month away. So folks, kindly join me in this journey because I’m sure most of you travelling on the same boat as I am.

Oh, ok well I was not blogging for quite a long time, however, now with insistence my former colleague and  good friend. here I m starting again. So, like every great writer (atleast I can pretend to be one among them), I dedicate this blog to my friend. Thanks to him.
