The Transition

Fair enough working with Manipal Hospital, the city`s best hospital was indeed the peak of the crescendo, The diary thought thats where the movement ends but after spending 2 and a half long years here it was time to continue the journey. It decided it wanted to start its own business and after a lot of thoughtwork went ahead and decided to call it a day here.

During the afternoon of  19th of August, The diary was just putting thoughts on paper and decided that this was it, and it was time to go ahead and start it's own thing. It went ahead and penned the letter to the concerned authorities that It wanted to be set free.

Roughly a little more than a month later, on the 30th of September the diary walked out of the gates of Manipal Hospital for the last time as an employee. It was getting set for it's business and this was a turning point.

Fido steps into our life....

It was a cold day on the 10th of November and there were discussions of getting home a pet. Earlier in the year too, there were some, but nothing really materialized. But after a lot of convincing and coaxing of all the family members it was official we were going to get one. I had earlier researched on the best breed to get and had frozen on The Beagle. I was prepared that it is a very tough dog to train but the happiness it gave weighed above everything else. Thus exulted we were on our way to get what I would call is one of the bravest decisions I made. As the car crawled out of the apartment exit, adrenaline was gushing through us. Yes !! we thought. This could be it.  The 18km long journey almost took the juice out of our excitement but an hour after we began our drive we were there. As the Sun was about to hide itself under the clouds, We made our way to the breeders pad. Amidst scores of Beagles we decided to pick the most silent of the lot.


We finish our discussion and head towards the car. Its exciting we have our furry little friend with us as we introduce him to his new home. He makes a lot of noise but is happy he found his new home quite welcoming. We record it in our diaries. The 10th of November. A day to remember.

      

Hailstones Galore

What was about to end as just an ordinary day, turns into a surprise with Hailstones falling all of a sudden !! Its only the 2nd time in my life that I get to see such things. It makes me feel amazing and the weather is so pleasant you could do a dance there. The hailstones have everyone else running for cover but we are different. We deliberately get into it and enjoy every moment of mother natures treat. 

Touched by kindness

The weekend begins for the diary with a hint of kindness coming from a good friend whose family the diary gets to dine with. As the   diary 's car touches down at the Windsor Manor Hotel, The diary get's greeted by him in one of the kindest of ways. Its almost a year since we have met and as we get absorbed in talks we lose track of time, the hands of the clock do a break dance reminding us that our time for fun too was after all limited.

Just before we head for dinner we feast on some innovative food which is also the first time the diary has it. A day for many firsts I would say. After the quiche we head off to Raasa restaurant in Indiranagar famous for serving organic food. The food was something the diary may have never tasted in his life and this becomes the first time.
After sometime reserved for chatter we get down to enjoy the food served to us. An ok type of food for the diary  but definitely something worth a try. Its close to 11 when we call for the bill and the day wraps up. 

In a state of perplexity

Almost 2 yrs into his job the diary is still puzzled on how to handle troubled moms or wives. When he does encounter them it puts u in a quandary. Pleas of saving their loved ones as if the blogger is the one who calls the shots is quite an imbroglio. Inputs from doctors who echo the same situation brightens him a bit and essentially does create that happy ending. Part n parcel of life I tell you. 

Mission Accomplished

After days of research going into picking the right guitar, it finally comes. We head out late evening, finally stop at Soundglitz the flagship music store of Bangalore. After testing guitar on guitar we decide on the intended piece. Its a black glossy in house brand guitar but throws music like heaven. The deal is sealed and money is paid.

We head back home feeling contented with our purchase. Days of research ends. Its rather late when we reach home 

Shopping for Guitars

The day seemed absolutely regular till the moon came n took it's rightful place in the sky n then we head to the guitar shops in the Honda City with both our music teachers the veterans of music for us.
the gimmicks of the salesmen have no effect on us as we have our teachers to guide us for the right choice. After nearly half n hour we freeze on one and are almost confirming the purchase when trrrring trrrrinnng buzzes my phone.

Its mom calling to halt our purchase. I m fixed on going along with a friend s confirmed purchase but she feels the heat. She decides to check mom's selection which unfortunately won't surface till tomorrow evening. Thus though we were enthusiastic about the guitar we return home empty handed.
