My first memory of life in Flat No. 704 is of borrowing Cousin B's camera for taking a picture of the view from my balcony. With me in the foreground, of course. As one Vincent van Gogh would concur, self-portraits are no mean task and my dozen odd attempts were all in vain, (quite like the ones I would make in the years to come) much to the umbrage of Cousin B. Those were the days of the good old Kodak film rolls, you see- digital cameras and the luxury of the delete button were still some way in the future.
In the years hence, Bangalore and Abhishek have made way for Bengaluru and Dela respectively. The population of the city has doubled and so has my weight. Even in the midst of all that, the view from my balcony is as magnificent as ever, my car-park is still the most popular cricket pitch in all of Jayanagar, my love affair with peanut butter continues and Shanti Sagar still makes the best Gobi Manchurian in the world. So much has happened over the last thirteen years. And yet, so little has changed.
The last two months have seen me bid adieu to Bahrain and Roorkee, those two wonderfully bizarre towns I called home for nine memorable years. Bidding goodbye to the lives I led there is another matter, but all in due time.
For now, I'll just look forward to Bangalore and the deluge of nostalgia and hope that comes with it.

Have a great time in Bangalore. I am sure you'll be at home there too. Great luck!
PS: I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches too!
Was just going to write on your wall, but reader said you'd posted. Call me. Or mail me your number.
You seem to've been welcomed by such wonderful weather here.
PS. IISc Ghobi Manchurian is actually better da, come here sometime. I come here everyday just to spend those 12 bucks.
Shanti Sagar and all is ok, but seriously, how could you leave out Dosa Corner in this post? Plus, if have not been there already, there is this brilliant sugarcane juice place opposite to Reliance Jewelry.
In case you are wondering how I know all this, having a brother in Bengaluru made all the difference in the world. Hope it will be the same for Jogeshwari now.
Good boy, da. Now I guess I'll come and see you if and when I get a chance to go to my childhood home on Bannerghatta Rd which I still own.
Atleast you don't have haggle with the auto-men anymore. And your teetotaling dreams are still intact.

You haven’t become a qualified fashionista if you haven’t got at least a pair of high heels from Christian Louboutin shoes. And the Resort 2011 Collection from that fashion house has again proved Louboutin’s top status in the world of shoe designing.
This Louboutin Resort Collection presents to us a sexy mix of bold colors and rock star glamour. With wedges, peep-toes, Mary Janes, and stilettos, every lady is sure to find the pairs that best suit her.
Scanning this Christian Louboutin 2011 Collection, you are likely to find something similar to Shoegasm. This time Louboutin has put a sexy, fun remix on some of the original designs, which has led to an ravishing line! Best examples include the new variations of the Bianca platform pump, Lady Peep slingback and Pigalle pump. Check them out and you will probably agree with me that they are simply incredible. I think the Lady Peep is a must-have item, but the Samira Strauss Pump is also a stunner. Nevertheless, among the crowd, the one pair to wow everyone should be the striking studded denim heels, which are powerful enough to capture the heats of mostly fashion ladies.
Without doubt, the always avant-garde designer has again shown his marvelous feat by stealing the spotlight again with his unbelievable Resort 2011 Collection, maintaining his throne as designer king of sexy heels. However, shoes from Christian Louboutin have always been getting most ladies down with the hefty price tags. And that’s why lots of them are going to try the high quality replica Louboutin heels, which are almost as good!
