I love this place

It's a rare blessing; to be able to live in a beautiful city. I just totally love the way you can drive through the busy city streets and a sudden turn from the highway takes you to quite a different world, to an idyllic quietness, where bicycles still have right of way.
The picture on the left is the view from my office at night. The one on the right is a quiet village on the outskirts of the city.
I'm exploring the thought of moving to another city. It's not an easy decision, but one that, for many reasons, I will have to make within the next few months.
Sometimes, I wonder why life is full of difficult decisions. The ones that make you wonder whether you're headed in the right direction. I've had to deal with quite a few of those in the recent past. And just when I thought I was safely home, it seems that change is most probably the order of the day again. When this change happens, when I have to leave my beautiful city, I just hope it turns out to be the right decision, and the right move.

Kochi!!! Well, yup..beautiful place..havent been there often though..just the occasional trip to buy sthin i dont get in my own town..i havent seen the quieter side of Kochi though..

As for moving, I guess we are always doing that..maybe not literally always..but change is always there..over the past 5 years i've worked in Mumbai, Blore, Delhi,Pune, Chennai and Coimbatore. There was a short phase in the first half of 2006 when i thought i was back 'home' or atleast close to it..in Trivandrum..but now look where I am !

@shain
the next time you're in cochin, check out the quieter places. Take a walk between rows of three to four hundred year old houses in Fort Kochi, stroll down the world's BEST spice market, drive down to the outskirts. It's a great place if you know where to look.
