I am enjoying the break I was desperately looking for. In Bangalore for a one week exhibition and conference, it has so far been alright without having to bother about my mechanical life in Hyderabad.

Things starting getting difficult for me right from the day I applied for a home loan with IDBI bank. I approached the bank after being told that its processing speed is faster than LIC. But to my bad luck, I found a super agent in the form of Madhu. He was slower than snail and his generosity ensured that I got a loan after 45 days. I might have called him about 100 times to inquire about my status and he would always say, "It's over sir, one more day to go." Frustrated, I went and blasted him in front of his boss and got the work done in about 10 days (still a long time considering that the total loan processing time was around 10 days).

Meanwhile, my builder was after me as he was in desperate need of money due to other commitments. We shouted at each other and indulged in arguments, and my dad had to intervene to resolve the crisis. Finally, it was all over on 29th of August with the registration and paying him the remaining balance. I rushed out of the registration office as soon as the process got over while my brother and uncle walked in wonder.

This alone wouldn't have had me in trouble, but I had to manage things at the office as my colleague had got married and went on a long leave. In addition, I had to plan for this sudden trip (courtesy Ryan). Things with my employer too have not been rosy and the sudden occurrence of events ensured that I was always occupied with some shit. I was craving for a break and God answered my prayers with a week long trip to Bangalore.

Only two days old in Bangalore, but I had traveled about 80 miles. I watched an awful movie called 'Chamku' starring Bobby Deol as this was the only one cinema available in our vicinity.

More on my trip in next post.

I am loving it!
