Dear Aditi,
So, Bangalore has been fun. It's always been one of those cities that I liked because of the city itself; and not because of the people living in the city. For one thing, the shops here and actual two storied shops. And malls aren't as big here as proper stores are. I don't know what it is about seeing a huge shop of a certain brand that makes me so happy. But it does. I did try to ask my mom to take me shopping but she hasn't agreed to it yet, so I'm not sure when that is going to happen.
Apart from that let me tell you about the people I am living with. So they are very close family friends. Almost like family, and really we do treat each other like that. So family. And I haven't met them in 5 years. I have changed a lot in 5 years. And so has he.
For one his voice is not the kiddish voice anymore, but actually sounds like a boy. He has grown taller and is now only a little shorter than me. He is a ninth grader by the way. He also speaks in this weird american indian accent which I don't know where he picked up from since he has been living in Bangalore, but yeah. But more importantly he is a nerd. I like nerds. I like only nerds. But he is also that pretentious type of one who only believes in what he believes, and I guess I am like that sometimes but the fact that he said he hated Kpop because everything is too bright. How dare he. He also said the stupid North or South Korea joke, which I have heard a million times. Honestly, I prefer to call it Uptown Korea and Downtown Korea but that's a different issue. He and my brother get along really well though because they are actually the same type of nerds. Like a carbon copy of the other. It's scary to see, it's like having another brother and it's a younger brother and I don't like that. But it's not like he has done anything bad yet, so I refuse to make a judgement so fast. I'll give it a few days and then I'll leave Bangalore.
I did meet nerds I actually like at the design firm though. I mean, they were nothing like me and yet we had so much to talk about because at the end of the day we had a similar goal. Some of the people at the firm thought I was a new designer which made me really happy because that means I look the part. Or act like it. Or both. Whatever, it makes me happy. Although, does that mean I look that old? I am not old. Not yet. Old age is catching up to me in an incredible speed, but still not yet.
Love,
upa.
