It’s been around 10 days since I updated my blog. Life has been hectic with loads of work and its consuming much of the time. But, this is the case past five years. I was just musing about these last 5 years – these years have changed my life drastically. Staying in a town which is nearer to Mysore – good education facilities are available upto Pre-university level. But then there is a need to go to Mysore for the degree courses. To go to Mysore, one needs to travel from here – say a distance of 25 kms. Again if the college nearby then its comfortable to walk! Otherwise again catch a bus! Well, for me both in my UG and now PG I need to commute in city busses to reach my destination. I must say, the days which I’ve spent commuting to the university are more than the UG days! But, it’s enjoyable and fun! The initial days of traveling to Mysore for studies used to be a Herculean task! Getting to know the bus routes, again getting back home – but as time went by all was fine! I started enjoying the travel! Living in a small town has its own advantages – you know more people. And most of them are companions while traveling! Otherwise I would read a book, enjoy the scenery outside or just take a short nap J Nap is refreshing especially if the day was too hectic and u r almost dead! But, traveling has its own plus points. I do see and observe lots of people from all walks of life. All have their own perception, way of speaking (difficult to understand the village slang of Kannada – no offence!), living etc., more than these, different age groups. And now-a-days I have a new mate with me. My MP3 player. Music has been a passion for me and what can be more fulfilling and soulful then music? I listen to my favorite songs and also AIR occasionally! Sometimes, I bump over some old friends and we have a good old chat where I get to know about other old classmates of mine – all this in half an hour J Yes, traveling makes me tired, cos after I return home, am back to studies after some relaxation. Day is over at 11.30 and again I need to chalk out my plans for the next day! But, all that am going through is really enjoyable and fun. And I’ve also realized that changes are part and parcel of life and they take life forward and make us ever ready to face new challenges! I think I’ve written enough now! More in the next blog…

Archana, Let us have more of your thoughts, more regularly. We at Mysore Blog Park would like to hear from bloggers. And then we have Praja Mysore, a web initiative by some spirited bloggers.
hi..you mentioned "short nap" to refresh.. I liked it,i will show this to my mates that someone is agreeing to my point.i too do the same, but the diff is i do while i am going to office. i hate if my collegue sit beside and chat with me.. [:D]. sometimes it often ends up with deep sleep and cab driver says "saab!!! office aa gaya"
kollaam ketto! aadyathey postil ninnum othiri improve aayittundu! Has a good flow to it! Keep it up(ithinu malayalam expect cheyyarathu pls) :P
Hi Archana,
Nice one. Some things I agree with you. The pros of living in a town, joys of travelling - reading a book and then dozing off, the nap (it is refreshing - agree 200%), sceneries, the fights on the bus, the people, arguement with the conductor over balance.
That is perhaps one of the reasons why I still prefer travelling by bus.
