'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life

Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die.

"I must have done grave sin in my last birth that I landed in Bangalore." this would be the biggest understatement that I would have in my life. This city is said to be IT capital on Asia. This is also the worst metro city in India. It lacks everything that you should expect in a such a kind of city. 24x7 clean running tap water, roads, traffic manner, good housing, wide roads, electricity, affordable and good transport, hospitals, police stations, fire brigades, eateries serving at least good south Indian food. It lacks everything.

Life has come to a stand still coming to Bangalore. I have not made any good friend after coming here except a few whom I knew before coming to Bangalore. Two close friends were lucky enough to move back to Pune or Mumbai. But, sadly I'll be here for long time to come. At least employer is good and paying good too even though there is turbulence in USA Real Estate market. No company would take me. I could be having one of the shakiest retention record in India, specially in IT. I know ITeS can beat me by large. A friend of mine has never completed training in last eight jobs in two years, but he is still surviving. I can't survive long in IT if I go this way. Guru, a warehousing professional working with Covansys (ex-employer) for 7+ years, suggested me during my last days, to stick with a company for 3 years at least, else I'd never get good role after having 10 years of experience. I think it is all coming back to me.

I pity myself and everyone who has come to Bangalore for any reason and suffering. May God help them being strong! Amen.
