Hmmm....
So after one month of staying with Amma, I will be alone for some time from next week...
My sister wants to stay with her and as she cannot travel, both of them has to stay at Tellicherry, and I have to go back to Bangalore alone....
I will be missing the food, really... I cant imagine eating that horrible canteen food again.....

A Weekend with Hitchcock
Last weekend I spend with Hitchcock, the master film maker who scared the audiences and knocked the senses out of many a women by that bloody dagger scene in Psycho. I was browsing through some DVDs of a road side vendor when I came across this collection of 6 Hitchcock movies- North By Northwest, Psycho, Birds, Trouble with Harry, Man who knew too much and Farmer's wife. Now all knows it is tough to get a perfect DVD from roadside, this one was also not different. Audio and subtitles changes from English to French to Spanish without any provocation in between, audio runs ahead of the video.... all sorts of troubles mars the fun of watching North by northwest, Birds and Psycho.... But thank God I have watch
ed them before. The ones that I never watched are intact and made my weekend special....The first time I saw a Hitchcock flick was in TNT channel. It was North by Northwest of Cary Grant. Awesome movie with good turns and twist. Ahead of its time.....
The speciality of Hitchcock is that the protagonists will be normal persons going through unusually abnormal circumstances. Their actions wont be supernatural, their emotions, fears and conductance will be like any Tom, Dick or Harry.

A 2009 of new hopes....
So 2008 is done with... finished... rolled back..... stored in the mental attic......
The year was really eventful for me... Lot of really bad experiences and some marvelous occurrences.. all in all a mixed one....
The year started in a hopeful note.. I had arrived one month back in Bangalore after working for a year in Coimbatore, hopes were sky high. I was staying in a PG in Basavanagar, near my 'office'. It was my batchmate's firm, promises were great, it was supposed to be my lucky breakthrough... one that never happened.
In two months I learned my lesson. Things are not that easy. Money IS an issue. Things are going from bad to worse at home. And I cannot do any thing. There was no money to just go out and drink a coffee. Frustrating! At March I went for a trip with my friends to Munnar. A trek from Munnar to Kodaikanal. That was the only silver lining in that dark period.
By April the company expansion was happening, new place, new machines, more people. I felt things will work better now onwards. Next month I got some money after 3 long months. But something changed... after giving money the attitude got wrong. I worked for 5 months with my own interest without any demands and reasonably well too. But after a payment is made I was treated really bad. I dont want to be a field for others to dump their frustrations. On 18 may a day before my birthday I quit the job. On request I decided to work for one month more. I joined CATIA course, just to boost my self and it gave me a truck load of confidense too. I received part of my PF money from Coimbatore...
From July I was jobless. Attended an interview and fought with the HR manager. Then I got interview call from Forgepro. Attended and got the job. I had promised Amma that I will land in a job in just one month, that was fullfilled. Joined in August. Moved to JP Nagar in a PG. Good friends, nice place. I was looking for a rented home to bring mother and settle. Finally in November got a place at Kaggalipura. Gave the advance and started living there by December first.
At the nick of time I received my pending PF payment and was able to pay for all utensils furnitures and things. December middle I went home and brought Amma to Bangalore..
This was my 2008 round up....
Plans for 2009?
No idea my friend. Want to enjoy bachelorhood for some more time. Save some bucks. Reduce stress and tension from life.... And I would also like to join a gym.... and follow a strict work out routine.....
HAPPY 2009
