New beginnings ????

 Boy time does fly by. It's like poof and u miss it.It's been six months since my move. My life has been a blur since I moved from  the idyllic,picturesque ,small , sleepy little excuse of a town in the Himalayas to the City Beautiful.                            Let me tell you a little about my life in this new place.  The place where I now work is a behemoth of an institution and my previous workplace is not even a fraction of it. (Though if not for financial constraints I would prefer to  work in my old place at any given time.)Here a sea of humanity comprising of doctors, nurses,paramedics ,students, technologists, security personnel, patients and relatives (the list is almost endless ) converge , each with their own purpose.The emergency rooms are never empty , corridors never silent,  OPDs teeming with people jostling for their turn. Weary , despondent, frustrated and worried people all around everyone with their own set of problems. Just reminds how apt the first few lines from the song 'sea of faces' by kutless is.I see the city lights all around me / Everyone's obscure / Ten million people each with their problems . But still I'm amazed at the sheer number of people that are treated here. From the rarest to the commonest ailments are dealt with. Sometimes people ask me how's work ? Well I don't know where to begin from ?                              Hmmm so that was a small description about my work and I might have painted a very bleak , sad, dismal picture but that's not all to my life here. I have a bunch of friends who have energy equalling a group of rambunctious school kids , who laugh out so loud as if they are without a care in the world . Be it at some random stranger's mistake of placing his foot in a dustbin while crossing a low lying fence or being the only people to laugh out loud in a full cinema theatre. They are the ones who helped me settle effortlessly with getting a gazillion paperwork done which is a must when joining a public sector and countless other ways ( thanks guys !!!). Sometimes these guys can be so mental they will drive a normal person insane.Also guess what I have become a bit deaf too. You might be wondering how . Well most of my friends if not all of them have a penchant for talking so loud as they have amplifiers attached to their larynx or voice box . But that's who my friends are. A crazy lot each with their quirks and uniqueness.  And yea other than that loads of movies, KFC , coffee and fun; reminds me of college days minus the studying and classes.                                   Anyhoo!!! Coming to a new city , new place , new people is always difficult . Whenever ever I come to a new place ( this being the third city in seven years) I come with no expectations only with the thought of an opportunity for a new beginning, a fresh start. But then believe it or not I make the same mistakes all over again. Try as I might I inadvertently end up doing the same bloopers, blunders , errors, fallacy ( or any other synonyms u might fancy ) and that's why ??? in the title . So here's me crossing my fingers, toes, heart , eyes , or whatever there is to cross and hoping against hope that this might be the beginning like never before.
