Mumm in Mumbai !!!

so.. i'm in Mumbai.. finally !

hard to believe that i've already travelled around 2 indian states inside 3 months. not quite normal for a guy used to staying at home in kolkata for most of the time.

life in mumbai is xactly a polar opposite to my beloved Kolkata. it's a busy relentless life, not quite the comfortable and relaxed life in Kolkata. Needless to say... i miss Kolkata very much inspite of the fact that i am wid my family members here in Mumbai. in Kolkata, the very glimpse of a smile in every bengali face is sufficient to invigourate you. here you dont see smiling faces. people here are busy.. or at least pseudo-busy.
life in the software industry is not really tough but it's xtremely boring, as of now. ask me, why boring ?... i do what i've always done - sit in front of a PC throughout the day, but what i do in my PC is what matters. its not my usual FIFA practice sessions but rather uninteresting self learning sessions. all that the trainees get to do is complete a huge number of web trainings. and thanks to these web trainings, paint has become the most favoured application out here (copy paste your answers for later reference). a software engineer's life has not turned out to be something that i had xpected. coding has taken a backseat and its all about the xternal glitter. Back in the 16th century William Shakespeare had figured out that,

"all that glisters is not gold, often have you heard that told, many a man his life hath sold, guilded tombs do worms infold, but my outside to behold, had you been as wise bold old ....... your suit is cold"

(wrote it spontaneously without referring to google, so the mistakes - it's one of my favourite paragraphs in literature, Merchant of Venice taught in class 8-10). unfortunately people don't realise it this 21st century. i have given more tests on etiquette, english, email writing than the ones on programming concepts, yet i'm an assistant systems engineer. Being a fan of the films "Into The Wild" and "Forrest Gump", i would love to be a free thinking man but unfortunely am bounded in this world of formalities.

neways.. now im looking forward to my next trip to my beloved hometown. my life in kolkata was a continuous quantity but here in mumbai it has been discretised. my mother is coming here on the 22nd... and i'm dying to have the roshogollas that she's bringing along with her.
