How we ended up finding a place to stay in bangalore (internship)

( what happened last summer vacation....)

As any typical guy I had dreams and plans for vacation. This time I wanna study violin/keyboard. I had serious meetings with guys near my home about what should we study. We all started believing that music is suffocating inside us! We need to learn the art of transferring the inner music into a form which is accessible by common man! As the would be musicians started meetings in my home I got a call from bangalore. it's not for a music show, but for a summer internship. 4 guyz from my college got selected. All of them had plans and dreams for vacation. We had to cut short our great dreams for internship. Still I had been contemplating on whether should go for internship or pursue music which should be my life as of now! My confusion got over when I got the call letter next day promising 20k/month for summer internship. I had no choice now than a lot of pocket money. The A R Rehman in me died out for 20k. I realized why great musicians don't pop up normally!!
The other three interns where jojo (tronix puli) ,hash(linux geek) and bandu(late comer every where). Bandu is from Andhra and so he will be coming alone.
The other 3 of us reached Bangalore on a cold saturday morning. This is the 4th time I am in bangalore in 2 months. Still the city is as new as every chapter I studied. We took an auto and the guy bargained for us in a hotel room for 'fare prices' and had his commission. After the routines we had break fast and then the ultimate searching for room started. Bandu called us to tell we would be joining us on monday only. Jojo wants to meet the hr in company. So we went to ti in bagmane tech park near the beautiful bagmane lake. This is my second visit to the company as I had been here for my mini project works. In reception we saw a person in coat giving orders.When he saw us he came to us.He called me 'sir' and I turned to my friends in pride! Even though the guy turned out to be senior receptionist I owe him a lot for calling me "sir" ! He connected phone to HR's home where a sleepy HR (Rashmi -later turned out to be a nut loose and a head ache during our internship!) was mumbling sthg on phone being called on saturday morning. We shouldn't have called her. We regained momentum. We searched a lot of places on walk in the nearby. No stay was found till the eve. Water bottles and cool drinks got finished as we went on searching.
We took some expert advice from 'some one' and started searching room in a place 30 minutes away from bagmane park.Finally we ended up in getting a room in the 4th floor of a building, too congested and recently painted. I would rather die than live there. We met a funny guy running a new hotel near by and he asssured us that it is a nice place and said they offer a variety of dishes including kerala food and so we should not worry about our food and all. We decided to have food from there and it turned out that there is nothing other than biriyani. When asked about the variety of dishes he replied that he had arranged a cook from Trivandrum who was supposed to be there the day before and he's waiting for him. He even enquired us whether we have contacts of any cooks from Kerala! After lunch we registered in a site to get paying guest details and so we got a couple of calls which din turn out successful. After unsuccessful searches in Shivaji Nagar we went near forum mall (koromangala) and searched and found out a nice room (spacious) at same rate as that of the previous 'congested place'. This is much better a place than the other. Shopping centers are nearby, colleges nearby, cinemas ..everything! If we live in bangalore we should live in such a place.
I had great plans still. This is not a temporary place. We are going to stay here for '6 weeks' which is a considerable period and so we should stay in a place like this where we could enjoy. But jojo and hash won't agree. Jojo want the other place as it is nearby to ti office and so he could sleep more.. I too love waking up late.. but the idea of staying near forum tempted like anything. Hash said he is neutral in this fight but I knew he wanted the congested, newly painted suffocating room for unkown reasons and 'neutrality' was just to make the his arguments more weighted!!
Finally before we wound up the search around 11pm every one agreed for a toss.. Hash tossed the coin and I called a tail.. Oh...jojo lost.. too much disappointment in their face (including Mr.neutral's face).
But we din end up there as we found out a place just outside the ti compound next day morning before we paid advance. It wasn't congested and the walking distance from ti proved no choice at all and so we ended up starting our 6 week long life in bangalore near the beautiful bagmane lake...
