A Now Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

21:30 IST Bangalore

Sometimes I amaze myself. After a days worth of work and a run in the morning I decide to go out for drinks with friends from college. Why? because you dont get a chance to meet the people that went to college with you very often when you live on a total different continent. Anyways, here we are the three of us and we go to a regular joint where we have a few drinks and discuss how and why India and the infrastructure it has now will not go anywhere because of politics and all that jazz.

23:30

Now we're outside the bar and jonesing for a nice spliff to give tribute to Bob the man and have a good time. We finally manage scrounge some off a bouncer in the bar (through a contact) and off we go on a drive around B'lore at night. Im guessing it was somewhere in between the consumption of smoke and the driving around that i suddenly realized that the best time to go around B'lore is late in the evening on a week day. The roads were serene and traffic is next to negligible. Additionally, there are some nice places in B'lore that can be seen in the night.

1:30

At this point in time we've moved onto spliff no. 3 and we're having a good time. It was then that I realized how much I actually miss Melbourne and all the people that went to school with me. Alas, I am now in b'lore and slowly starting to like it. It's like coming full circle. When I first went to Melbourne it was good and exciting and then it went into a lull for a long time but I weathered the bad times and then the good times rocked. Im guessing its only a matter of time before the bad times stop and the good times roll again.

Viva Melbourne
