Not sure why I am writing this.. but yes.. I have to write about what I have done in the current year, what am I going to do in the coming year.
2010 as year has been quite good to me. But as I write this post, I am a bit upset, bit depressed. Let me come to the point as to why am I upset later.
But 2010 started in a good way for me. I found an offer from a new software company in Bangalore for quite a good salary. There was no looking back. I joined this company on 4 January 2010. This company was really good. There I met one of my old classmates working for the same company. He along with 2 other people from Bangalore became so close that, we formed a group of our own and then kept on hanging out together in ITPL.
All good things have to come to an end, like wise, my friends and me started to find the work over there not so interesting, So one by one my friends started looking out for a job outside.
Finally it was my turn to look out. I indeed ended up with couple of offers from companies in Bangalore. But I chose to work in Singapore. I ended up in Singapore, but I guess I left my heart in Bangalore only. Yes its true.
I wonder if its one of the not so worth decisions of my life, which I took in the month of May 2010, that I am still repenting upon it. Though there has been lots of positives which have come out of it. I still feel I missed out on loads of things.
Why am I writing this post is, at this moment I miss Bangalore very much, I have been talking to family and friends and loads of people about how I feel after 7 months in Singapore. Many people have told me to continue even after 1 year in Singapore.
But that is not going to be the case with me. I am planning to join a company in Bangalore once my 1 year contract finishes. I feel I have saved some amount of money, now its time to get back to Bangalore and do all those things which I have missed out in 2010. Yes visit loads of near by places travel a lot and have a gala of a time with family and friends.
After all mother and motherland are sweeter than heaven. I guess I am not one of those persons who can stay away from Bangalore for a long time.
So its just 5 months away for me to be in Bangalore. I hope these remaining 5 months just ease away in no time and I find my way back home.
Once upon a time I prayed and prayed to God for a better opportunity now I am praying to God to help me just pass out these 5 months so that I can be back in Bangalore. Yes I miss my hometown very much.
I do not know how the 2 people who read my posts will react when they read this post, but yes this post is all about my heartfelt feelings of missing the warmth and lovely atmosphere of Bangalore. There is no place on earth like Bangalore.
Cheers,
Sandeep
I feel that home is home, you cannot replace with any other thing. It is more organized and someone is always is there to look after you and of course friends are always there to share.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am considered money and work are secondary things in life.
You should always do things which makes you happy. But I guess you have made a right decision to come back.
No need to regret your decision to work in Singapore. It works for some and doesnt for others. It is always good to know what works for you and what doesnt.
I guess you will be alright once you reach Bangalore. But my only concern is this will be your 5th or 6th company I guess like me...
Sampath, thanks for the support man.. coz not many people support my decision. esp people who have never been abroad..
ReplyDeletethey feel its heaven saying butt load of moolah in some corner of the world.
but staying away from motherland is not so sweet afterall..
coming to singapore has opened up lots of things for me.
I shall post in another post right away.. but thanks for ur kind words and support man..
it really makes a difference...
