Bohemian Rhapsody



A Few Months from now, I’ll be in A New City. Hopefully in a one I like. And this move is not one that I’m upset about, though. New place, new people. Nice. What may ruin all of this is that I may also hate the city. As it happens, I’ve no control over which city I may actually move to.



For a Long, Long Time, it was granted that it’d be Bangalore. There’s the Brother who’s in there since the last 7 or so years. Then the fact that it has good colleges too. A few friends from the hometown’re going there too. Also, there’s a B’lorian friend who has promised me that she’d’ve Good Food fed to me. That alone should be enough! Relatively good weather, good food, nice bookstores, malls, parks, a ready bunch of friends and the general laid-back-ness. THIS is the perfect city for me any day. BUT no, life may’ve some other plans. It always does.



For an almost same amount of time, Delhi has been in the list too. Now this city is the 180 degree Inverse Image of B’lore. Extreme weather, Too Cold in Winters, Too Hot in Summers. Also as opposed to being Laidback as Bangalore is, this city shines in its Jat-Yamla-Pagla-Dewaana infused aggressiveness. Along with being the Administrative Capital of the Country, it also has the deemed title of being the Rape Capital of The Country too. Also, people from Northeast, especially girls, get assaulted the most there only.

But then you ask why it’s second in the list? Well, it has some of the best monuments in the country, it is throat deep dipped inside History, the whole Old City charm, the Sunday Daryaganj Sunday Book Bazaar, the proximity to other touristy places. Yeah, good enough.



Third would be Kolkata, or as I prefer, Calcutta. Now this is a city that I love only for its old, Crumbling, Colonial part. No amount of Bong Connection can make me love its 21st century half. Also the West Bengalis’re quite snotty towards us, their Eastern Brethrens. But its Educational Institutions’re great. The whole Cultural thing is nice too. And also it’s the closest to Home, air-travel-wise. The least expensive too.

BUT, both Delhi and Calcutta’re now out of the scene.
Now talks’re on for Patiala, Pune and some place in Haryana too. :(

While any new place’ll be exciting, I just don’t want to end up somewhere where I’d feel rotten the second the New-City-Honeymoon-Phase gets over.
That’d be Sad. And I don’t want 'Sad' again.

    I see how you feel about this and I hope you end up in a city you like and you'll be able to miss when you're back in Silchar.

    Love.
