Sleepless in Bangalore


Bangalore is a very unforgiving city. Beautiful to a fault, it makes you feel the need to love someone like no other city does. Delhi and Mumbai are large cities, which take you in, make your life so miserable with mundane chores that you don’t have any time to think about life or love. Bangalore is a small city, with very kind and social people. So what do you do when the weather outside is so pleasant, there is nice breeze in the air, there is nice music playing – you suddenly realize that there isn’t anyone you can call and have a nice conversation with. You are all alone.
The number of times I get this feeling in Bangalore has gone up manifolds. Not that I dint get this feeling when I was in Delhi. But Delhi is a brutal city. My brutal love! It is a sexy city. Flamboyant, flashy, fast. Bangalore is a kind and quiet place. But peace can be broken by some invaders down south. Like the chick s**eta who was here this week from our Delhi office. Oh what a smile!
 I wonder how many single people in this world are thinking what I am thinking right now. When will I have someone to come home to? When will I sleep next to someone I love? When will I wake up in the middle of the night to look at someone’s face and feel thankful to god for her? When will I be able to feel her breath over my shoulder? When will I be able to just hold her hand and enjoy a sunset over a pleasant conversation? Where will I meet her? When will I meet her? Does she exist?
