Okayyyy, so now after thinking many times over and over, I finally moved to Hyderabad. This is not the first time that I have come to this lovely city. I came here first when I was just 3 years old as a tourist along with my parents and my elder bro. At that time, we had visited among other things Nagarjunasagar dam, a lovely place. I dont know what's the position now, but there was an island in the middle of the dam where you need to go in a motor boat, and you know what, there were hundreds and hundreds of beautiful peacocks all over the place. I still remember we had such fun clicking them. And yeah I remember watching the clock in the Salarjung museum which I had a chance to revisit in 1992 when I was here staying in Kacheguda in my student life. After 1972, exactly 20 years down the line, I landed again in Hyderabad to pursue a course to become a radio officer in merchant navy. But unfortunately even after spending a full academic year, we could not appear for the exam of that particular course, which is conducted by the Govt. of India, Deptt of Telecom, since our exam forms could not reach Delhi as the plane which was carrying the forms crashed while landing at Delhi airport, so we were told. Though no one died in the crash, but our forms and our future in merchant navy did die with it. So I had to return empty handed. But I must say, I enjoyed my stay in Kacheguda. The hostel was a dormitory comprising two big halls in which the owner had put out beds and had given lockers to each one of us. While attending the classes, over a period of time, some of us friends became a group. There were 3 boys and 3 girls or you could say three couples in one group. Even after so many years, I still remember each one of their names and we had a lot of fun going to movies, picnic, religious spots, you name it and we had been there, but mostly movies. After that it was in 2003 that I had come to this city in search of job when I was already into my present profession of medical transcription.. As I do not like to travel alone, I brought along a friend of mine from Nagpur as my wife was pregnant. Since I had already applied online, the office was expecting me. After the customary interview and other formalities, my job was finalized. But I did not joint immediately. This was in July. After going back to Nagpur, myself and two of my friends decided to do home based job in the same field at one single location. So, it was decided that two of us fund PCs and start work at one of us' home. After working for almost three months, we decided to wind up because the company which was giving us work, did not have much of it. It was based in Bhopal and its future was in dark. So, we stopped. As the third friend did not own a PC, I sold mine to him and finally I moved to Hyderabad in the same office where I had finalized my job. That was in December. Since my wife had gone to her native place, Benares, for the delivery of our first child, I came alone here. As I moved to Hyderabad, my mother was alone in the house and had to manage all the things by herself. During the course of about four months that I was here, she fell ill, traveled to Baroda for a week as my brother was posted there at that time, and had to deal with a lot many things all by herself. She suffered quite a lot living alone in Nagpur until the time I was here. Seeing her plight, I decided to go back to Nagpur to be with her as I could not bear more of her being there alone.
