Ever since I have moved to Bangalore, I realized this was one city that could not grow on me, try as I might I could not fall in love with it. But last night I realized, that it is because I never gave it a chance.
After talking to my mom, and hearing out what she had to say, I was amazed by how a mother thinks. Her response to the whole situation was so unbiased. I guess a mother, if she has cared for someone, even for the shortest of time, thinks of them as her own kids. And a mother is never partial with her kids. To her all kids are equal. She'd always be worried and concerned equally. She knew that I know she cares for me, so the first question she asked was, 'Is he fine? Do you want me to talk to him?' I was speechless. Hats off to moms. I realized that I had a lot to learn.
It was almost 3 in the morning, and I was still thinking about it, when suddenly I decided to pick up my vehicle and embrace the city, give it another chance. So, off I go, all alone on the road, simply following the turns, as the chill of the morning welcomed me, showing a new, lovely, quiet side of the city. I couldn't help but give in to its charms. The beauty in greenery, the abandoned construction sites, the cool breeze next to the lakes. Simply amazing. For a change, I did not feel alone, scared or intimidated. I rode on till the dawn broke and then quietly returned home, snuggled in my cosy blanket and slept one of my most peaceful sleeps after some 2 months.
