Every once in a while we get to hear or read about a tale which immediately finds resonance with something that happened in our lives. This could be one such tale, especially if you, dear reader, have gone past that milestone called graduation and have been in that environment called as "the workplace."
Call me Amrit.
I am the narrator or the sutradhar, and the following story is about a girl I loved, lost, found again and then..., well you'll read about it soon enough!
We initially stayed at a hostel which was populated with like - minded job hunters from all across India. Recruitment season was on and every day we left the hostel to visit hundreds of IT firms that dotted the landscape of Bangalore. Every evening there used to be a party hosted by all the hopefuls who had secured a job during the day.
A month had passed by and many of my friends had got placed. Finally the day arrived when I finally landed a job, at GloboTech Inc (GTI), a MNC with branches in Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai.
During the job - hunt days, I had found become very good friends with a Bihari named Sanjay. It turned out that he had gotten placed in GTI too. The two of us immediately started rented apartment hunting in the vicinity of the IT park where our office was located. The IT boom had of course driven up the prices but finally we were able to locate a modest 1 BHK flat which suited our purposes, not making too big a hole in our pockets and was just located 15 minutes away from office, by Sanjay's bike.

i guess i have been spoiled by hariteman episodes and expect an action-packed story with things happening every minute. this came as a big change of pace (or as javagal srinath would say....a slower ball). i look forward to the rest of it.
