She wonders lonely as a cloud... :)

"In all my travels I have travelled more than I can remember and remember more than I have travelled!" - This quote displays on the TV screen as she begins to write this post and she can do nothing but smile.

The last few days have been... well... 'tumultuous!' As she was leaving Bhopal the cloudy skies of a heat torn city formed a bird of paradise with an angels wings! That's the sign she needed... it told her she'll soar! :) After a near paranoidal experience with the Indian Air Lines Ground Staff Strike holding up her luggage till 130 am she touched base at the 32nd floor of di's place and next morning soared into stormy rain laden skies as she headed for Bangalore!

13th June 9:00 am: her first taste of the city! Only right now there's someone to receive her at the airport and there's a chauffeur driven car with a driver who knows all the routes to avoid traffic! So through the by-lanes of her dreams she reaches 'Cox town' which gets pronounced as 'Cocks town' and then there are a lot of raised eyebrows by people who don't know the place! :D It's amazing how she's gotten used to the ink expressions she gets each time she answers the question, 'where are u staying?'!

Experience 1: A reliance number that refuses to change 'coz of a procedure that as somehow changed only in this city and nowhere across the country! It finally changed yesterday! (She can faint at the mere mention of the word ill right now!)

Experience 2: The autos! '1 n half madam!' is a refrain if she hears any more she'll start tearin her hair apart.... And that flows on to experience 3...

Experience 3: Hair fall! The number of people who have warned her for that one... and the mildest of shampoos is not a help! (any tips anyone???)

Experience 4: The induction program! All in all a gud experience... primarily 'coz of all the amazing and free food! :D

Experience 5: Office at last! Still on training.... :) But enjoyin the experience! Gud managers above me so loads to learn there!

Experience 6: Legends of Rock! :) A pub that serves good beer and plays rock! Jannat! Another place that serves a sizzler called a 'tequila chicken!' and yet so many other haunts with the most amazing 'North Indian' food! (The North Indian - South Indian divide is truly a classic in these parts)

Been getting used to the idea of wearing formals day in and day out and mastering the clumsy art of walking straight with a big bag and a laptop all hung on one shoulder with a cellphone in another hand and the ipod wires dangling around her neck along with the employee card! :D

She's found a place that she'll start calling her own from next week and no it's not in Cox Town! :P But it is in the National Games Village and so people now listen to the address and then look at her from top to bottom trying to figure out however in the world did this 'Motee' manage a ghar there??!! :P to all of 'em!

A 'blind date' with a guy her sister wanted her to meet (who by the way has the most amazing voice...) and loads o weekends with the 2 men in her life currently along with Bade Bhaiya and a few other friends later she thinks she's willing to taken on the city for all that it has to offer! She's found a tour guide n Nattu (check her orkut profile for details) and he indulges the foodie side of her oh so completely!!

Her thoughts have been clouded with, 'what's my purpose in life?' of late and that has had her aura turn purple and grey time n again! But then she read this (all credit to the Dream Catcher)

Quote Unquote these lines from the Dream Catcher's blog:

"The small, small ways being my prop
Taking a journey, on chimera’s top
Through whiskers of eyes, soaked in tepidity
To far, far very far for a wish
A wish of Eternity"

and then there was a message on her cellphone that said, 'Shayad ise hi kehte hain to find something you need to loose... Let the purpose find you!' :) And her aura's slowly been warming up since then as she sips on a glass of Raspberry Vodka, shifts a li'l on the bean bag and gazes on into the skies outside wondering what tomorrow may hold!

Emotions have been running wild as a slow storm dwells inside... A storm that will change something... and her intuition says 'for the better darling!' :) There's a patter of feet in her head and a cloudburst of unknown tomorrows...

Another day.. another way... Still tingling... Still exploring... Mysteries drenching her soul!

Kapeesh! (couldn't help writing it here...:D Shark tales!)

PS: Thanx for all the hausla afzaahi guys! u all rock!! :) cheers!
