It was in August that I came to Bangalore from Hyderabad, knowing pretty well that I wouldnt be killed by boredom here-I knew I was staying with one of my good friends-Nirmal. I arrived at 12 midnight-thanks to JetLite :). It was then I got to speak to Sen-though we were in the same college, we hadn’t spoken much there! PaiLayout proved lucky-I got the much needed change of destination n it was confirmed I would be put up in Bangalore come August15th. Bingo I got freedom from C*C…..
KempsAvenue was the Apartment name-2 flats 405 and 406-I, Sen and Pravs . I was looking out for a roomie-when my junior was looking out for a place with close proximity to bus-stops. Mine was a one-bedroom apartment and I welcomed him with open hands-problem solved. I can say with pride-this is probably one of the best groups I ve been with-and probably the best college group . Praveen was one guy with whom I hadnt spoken in college but trust me just after 2 months-we were one of the closest! Sen is someone who always makes the atmosphere cheery. There is never a dull moment when Sen is around! N it’s quite a rarity to find a genius like Sen.
And then there was Nirmal-he is more of a family friend to me…..We ve known each other since my first sem and its tough to find guys like Nirmal around-dedication personified-(but then we guys have tried changing him just a little bit-and we ve been successful ;)
This was my circle in Pai Layout. PaiLayout is a bachelor’s paradise-home made food-mess, hotels, juice shops, hospital, departmental stores (where they accept sodexho coupons), medical shops-what not!!
This was the place from where I experienced my first trek-thanks to Pravs-he introduced me or rather inducted me into the trekkers group which is special by its own way!!....
Pai layout has many many fond memories….but this was not meant just for Pai-Layout!....
Now that I am moving out of Pai Layout-I should say that I ll be missing just one thing-the elite group of Kemps Avenue-Sen, Pravs n Nirmal!
I do not wanna sound formal-but then, thank you guys for making this one year memorable-I personally feel that this is the one of the best groups I ve been with! There was never a dull moment when u guys were around!....
Sorry Junta-this post might sound like greek-but its coming from the heart! So kindly bear :)

moving ah?? where?
It was indeed the best time we all had, Now that I am also moving out of Bangalore, I don't know, what beckons me down the lane. But I would cherish these days forever in my life. The fun we had while playing cards, during the trips and the chats we had during dinner.
I wish, this time to come back again, but thats the crux of life, what you always want to have, are always short-lived.On the lighter note, don't forget the trips we had planned to undertake after some 10 years :) Alvida !!

@Pravs: Oh yeah....i should thank you man for the trekking-ur THE planner i would say!
