Reliving the Past - Foot board travel

I know that I didn't blog for long time. I was going through tough times, my mind was wandering around and I never felt like I am alive for the past few months. There were many things which I wanted to write but later when the other things clogged my thoughts I forgot what I thought I wanted to write the moment I reach my office. These days that I came through recently were very different. And I was traveling to my hometown almost every weekend.

Initially I thought I was the only one having tough times, but everyone I spoke said the same thing like this year they are all going through tough times. I am kind of through with it or may be am near to the end of the tunnel. The thing was yesterday I was traveling from Central Silk Board to Banashankari, nothing special about that you may think. It was special, I was foot boarding. Its not often that you get chance to travel in foot board after you pass out from college, and that too not in Bangalore where there are automatic doors in every bus.

That journey yesterday bought me memories of my college days where I had to travel in the foot board for last three years. There used to be a minibus in which we used to travel and its like most of the people will be traveling in that. Everyday there will be a big fight for people to get a seat in the foot board. It got me those times where there used to be me and my friends at the foot board and we get down at each stop and get it again once the bus starts moving. I even once was scolded by the bus driver when I was traveling at the foot board. I felt so offended not because he scolded me, it was because I was foot boarding near to the front door of the bus where the girls usually stand :-( .

It was hard to think that these things happened three years back. Even I could believe that I am three years into my professional life. This month on June 11 I finished my three years of professional life. The one sentence that keeps me going these days is the following “ The darkest hour of the night is just before the dawn. ”. I hope this is my darkest hour and the dawn is not far away.
