Many (and not most people) don really realize the fact that a Blackout can cause a lot of introspection and not just reminiscence of a lot of memories.
Bangalore has had its few moments of treating me with those black out.
A so called metro wherein, you get to see everything along with load shedding; Things don’t really get messy as much as you would imagine them to be, if you were in Mumbai otherwise; people hate the heat in Mumbai but love the place and the brand tag that comes along with that.
Coming back to Bengaluru, a lot of things make it worth a boon to have a black out once in a while. You realize what you have missed talking to the people and gets the main and important thing true. Togetherness in a lonesome environment when there is no Edison even to light you up. ;)
Having said this, I should not forget that the moments are even enlightened when you got a beer and a smoke in your hand and the light gives way halfway thru the mehfil. You realize that there is a life beyond just IT. I always felt people were seldom known only by their nature when in need of help of crisis. Today, I must admit, its not just a friend in need that is a friend indeed. There are things that you come to know when there is simply nothing that u can see or perceive and yet you know that you are not alone; and that you can actually have a smoke and yet know that there is someone else who is sitting next to you and having a nice dope as well alongside the beers/whisky and yet finds it a level of comfort to talk and make you feel lesser of a ghost.
Not wanting to waste the moment anymore, I wish to go back to my beer and continue my chat with my roomie and enjoy the taste of 90s and 80s which almost never fail to rejuvenate and kick me high.
Cheerio.
