Over Carpeted Floors & Under Fluorescent Lights

It's remarkably amusing that life can sometimes change so drastically that it leaves one bewildered as to how certain things come to pass.I for one am completely flummoxed at the pace of which mine has progressed ,it seemed just that 18 months ago I was rotting away under the scorching Madras heat ,unemployed with no foreseeable  future ,reading between the lines, it wasn't that hard to figure out that i was close to being a whacked out vagabond .However as they say time marches on and here I am suddenly employed in a city what people call the IT capital of India :Bangalore.Now it's been 14 months of employment and I am at a rather bizarre stage of my life which I am still trying to comprehend.Over the past year its been a mixture of wonderment ,joy,curiosity and of course coupled with a distinct taste of disappointment and expectation. For me ,for the first time in a lot of years I got to mingle with a diverse crowd,which was quite an eye-opener for me. Coming across so many different people with their unique personalities ,character-isms,traits ,made me come to terms with the actual reality of what the world really is .I realized I had been living in a hollow shell ,oblivious to the real world.I would most definitely have to concede that I am associated with an amazing bunch of people who've really changed the way I used to look at things,few of whom made me realize the errors in my ways.You could say that I am still learning the ropes of not just my work but also being around people. A lot has changed for me although some things remain frustratingly the same ,still trying to weed out the flaws in me,still trying to figure out the best of me .Life moves on for me in this little bubble of Electronic City where I lie expectantly amongst my newly found comrades ,laced with an intricate sense of curiosity trying to decipher the mysteries of my new life .
