Technology and joy are nohow competititors rather technology serves in cases to bring joy. It's bringing joy for whom and how is something highly debatable and discomforting, so I prefer to skip all these hurdles rather let's celebrate the evolution of a poor mamma's chap to a self-sufficient white-collared guy.
It's a demand of livelyhood that initiated the sprawling of human race from one place to another. All the civilization and uncounted memorable event took place in history for the simple reason that human race and all the other species are not able to find the needs of their life at a single place. I don't believe leaving the city Kolkata or the state West Bengal is at all a phenomenon to remember but it is significant for everyone as an individual.
The course I enrolled for my graduations that was a "secure" stream which awarded me a job where I can evolve as a better technological labour over some fishy(!) binary codes. But that security was suddenly(not actually) withdrawn because of some people made money from money over a non-existent good(being economical!! bear it) in Uncle Sam's own land. So after a long wait for a year I got the time of 12 days for my shopping and packing, I got first the oppertunity to onboard a flight and with the falling sunlight throught the glittering clouds I left my city and so many more.
The welcome to a new place such as Bangalore was amazing, swift arrival over the runway(Kolkata's one is just like the suburb roads around it!!) and then a gradual entry to a one way city (by means of traffic) which has enormous number of towers and blocks and parks and crosses and definitely at least one IT company at your doorstep.
The people who has a notion that Mr. Infosys Narayanmurthy is just such a great man in the history of Bangalore they should come and visit some of old original Bangalorians who chants the golden period of the city when there was peace and green.Huh!
Actually the city was a small one with a limited capacities and now it is compelled to grow in the hellis(villages)
around to get over burdedned with trillions lines of coders,testers and so on. This city has its most population(lift of 3 millions in last ten years) dedicated for a blind-folded routine that starts at 7-00 in the morning and ends at 8-00 in the evening in weekdays and reverse in the weekends. The people the values and the life everything is so much outsourced here I am still in search of something that is original .But this city is just awesome in it's cosmopolitonity (may be it's a compulsion because the fight of survivility initiates a bond among the competitiors and makes a good oppertunity to the free-market no doubt).
I can't resist myself to mention that the first rented flat where I was living had one guy from Chennai two from Hyderabad Two from UP one from Delhi One from Bihar one from Tripura and do count me. As a matter of fact we kept the name of the flat "India".
Transition is something inevitable and experiencing that with full swing is synonymous of living a life.
There is no point of surviving a life, let's live it as good as possible. And I am doing that with rasam, sambar, fruit juices and obviously beer. Cheers.
