Clueless in Pune!

I think I am just about to embark on one of those adventure novels that I so love to read myself. What I mean is, I am turning out to be my own adventure novel!

Folks, this is me, in my final year of engineering in Pune, a place far from where my roots are. I write this blog not to reminisce but to just write! I did believe in keeping diaries for a long time, but with the digital onslaught, who bothers much for pen and paper! I can proudly say I do, but its a very sporadic feeling. So I reverted to blogging.

I am a classic case of the agony aunt I keep referring to. I am jilted by very tiny things that don't make up my life. I believe truly in friendship and expectations. But to not have it when you've expected it is something more than just sad. That is my life in Pune. Many of my friends and my parents and brother, have all told me they can sense negativity in my writing. Well, my expression is such that I can only speak of what is happening in my life and not what I would like it to be!

This blog is to all the expectations I've had and not been realized and all the bonds I've shared and broken. Some of you reading it may be a part of it too. I write not to hurt, but to get it out of my system.

Pune began as a new culture, a new world for me. I belong to Kerala which when compared to Pune is like oil and water. We have a conservative and judgmental outlook to many daily affairs. When I landed in Pune, the people, the mindset, the opinions were all so variegated. It was a multicultural existence, these couple of years. I cannot say if I have gelled well with all of them, but I know I have tried and it will take more than four years to be perfect in that sense.

To me, where I think I may have erred is on the comparison between school and college part. That was not needed, and not heeded by any. I kept throwing my illusions of friendship at them and they just swinged it right back at me and I was too shocked to duck!


End of part I...

Watch out for part II, coming soon..
