Goodbye Bangalore!

Its that time of week again where I have nothing to do but read random blogs, news articles, browse thru java community sites. I have been reading a lot these days. I have always loved to read, but only recently did I rediscover that childhood passion of mine. As soon as I leave from office I grab a book and read a good 150-200 pages before dozing off and dreaming about it! At times I have not less than four books which I am in the process of reading. This is a new way in which I now read, as in, when I was younger I used to get hold of a book and read it to the end. Now what I do is read several books at the same time reading few pages from each of them day after day. I feel the reason for this behavior is the advent of cable TV and internet. When one watches TV or browses thru the internet he has a lot of options. Changing the channel or the website is a normal thing. Now everybody wants a lot of options, no matter what.
Although my change in reading pattern may be simply because of lack of concentration or just plain boredom from reading a single thing.

Last week I had my bed full of books such as the Lost World, Michael Crichtion, Genome, An Autobiography of Species, The Last Juror, John Grisham, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and the Devil's Alternative, Frederick Forsyth. Believe me or not, I was in the middle of reading all of those! Its like when you have had a lot of chocolates, you start yearning for something spicy, salty and vice verca. Exactly like after reading a chapter or two of Lost World, I feel an urge to switch over to Frederick Forsyth. I don't know if all this wierd behavior is just because of the lack of close friends with me and sub-conciously I have made friends with all these good authors and their books.

Anyways, I have decided to switch jobs and will be moving shortly to my join my new company by the name of BNP Paribas. Apparently its a huge financial services company based in Paris. So its time to say goodbye to Bangalore.

Adieus!
