An ode to the
city I call home!
10 years ago,
I reached this city with 2 small babies, a barely surviving marriage and an
uncertain future.
The city took
me in.
It seemed Familiar,
but remained Alien! Bangalore in 2005 was different from my city of 1995.
It was bigger, crowded and faster; coming from a quiet small suburb of Cleveland, gave me a culture shock.
I felt alone!
Yet, I
survived.
It gave me a
job, an assurance, a commitment to support when trust broke down.
A whole new
world soon welcomed me!Work- new friends and old. Relationships-people and places.
Slowly the familiarity
returned and comfort set in.
Comfort to
soak in its richness, friendliness, its charm and beauty.
It won me
over. I was no more alone, the city was my friend.
Remains my
friend!
Thank You!
