Mangalore muses

What is in the cities we live. Some that I cant forget some that i dont want to go back to. ever.
I love Mangalore. The rain, the warmth and just about everything in this city pulls me back there.
I like Wellington. The smallest capital city in the world. The comfort of having everything within 5km radius.
house/work/beach/hills/gym/daycare. Its perfect my life here. But i need a change. Man is like that by design i think. There has to be something new and exciting every now and then. Prash and I are nomads as all our frds and family call us. We just love to stay outside the house as much time as possible. Like seeing new places and things. Pushing ourselves to the limit more now with lil khushi , who not surprisingly loves garden n beach more than her own room and soft toys!.
Bangalore my hometown so to say is a different story. I dont like the city anymore. Its just not my kind of lazy malleswaram  dose/coffee/timepass place anymore. The people, the arrogance, the traffic and the heartlessness of it all. May be its just me may be i have softened down and gone weak in the last few years since I left the city and arent tough enough to live happily there.
Prash and I are going back to India for good soonish. Soon is a relative term. I do hope for the good of all 3 of us that we dont move to Bangalore.
The dream of living in Mangalore :) Its soooo exciting. So peaceful. The incessant warm rain in the monsoon. The tall majestic green coconut trees. The pleasant sound of sea at midnight. The song like language of people. The peace in the temples. The talented and colorful yakshagana.Please let me go back there. Please take me back.Someday someday i will be there to bask in the sun and feel the breeze and see the rain make patterns on my window so beautiful that i shall cry at the joy of having made my dream come true. But for now i need to find a job for dose/coffee there :)
