Online Casino Games – Play Casino Games In India 2021

When IIM-Kozhikode professor, Deepak Dhayanuthy introduced Poker as part of a course on competitive strategy & strategic management in 2015, some people raised eyebrows. As per Deepak, poker as a game assists players in comprehending human psychology in a better manner as they have to identify subtle cues & personal motivations while also having to learn how to manage the resources they have when playing. Simply put, poker is a skill-based game in which skill & strategy triumphs over any kind of luck.
Students across the country appeared to commonly agree with Mr Deepak’s conclusion. This positive response was visible at IIM-Kozikhode itself. IIM-K students not only signed up for the course but also participated in one of the biggest college poker fests organised in India.
An inter-collegiate poker tournament comprising some of the country’s biggest colleges like various IITs, IIMs, IMT-Ghaziabad & MDI Gurgaon started on 31 October 2019. Participants played the mind sport for more than 4 days across campuses, with the nine finalists flown to Goa where the tournament finale was streamed live.
Tournament winner Jimitesh Singla (IIM-Bangalore) said, “It was a surreal experience. I’ve been playing Poker for a few years, but I never thought I would get to play on such a large scale. It was like playing at international tournaments which get televised.”
Runner-up Ankit Chaturvedi (IIM-Bangalore) added, “Playing live poker is an experience in itself. The final venue in Goa was world-class. I’d definitely like to do it again.”
Poker is being rapidly accepted across India, thanks in no large part to the speedy growth of online platforms that offer huge prize pools & lucrative incentives to players. The audience has been nothing but shy & platforms have reported average y-o-y growth of almost 100% for the past 5 years.
With such a thirst for poker in India, it’s certainly no wonder that the game that used to be college passion is now being noticed big time on the national level. India’s 1st ever National Poker Series (NPS) will start at the Casino Pride 2 in Panjim, Goa on 29 April & will end on 5 May.
With a golden opportunity to compete in Las Vegas on offer, it’s foreseen that the NPS which comprises buy-ins starting at ₹4,000 will transpire into the country’s definitive poker event, providing every poker enthusiast across India a chance to compete. PokerBaazi.com CMO Varun Ganjo, who is also one of the partners for the NPS & the organiser of the IIM event, was positive about player turnout, “Indian Poker is now at a turning point. The game has been recognised as a thrilling strategy game and sport. We expect enthusiastic players from across the country to be joining us in Goa. Those interested in winning all-expense-paid packages to the event can also join qualifying tournaments on our app for just ₹10.”Kanchan Sharma, a pro poker player believes that many pros were likely to participate in the event. “Even though the NPS is not a high-stakes event, it’s a chance to win a trophy at India’s first national poker stage. Such events give regulars bragging rights and help players get noticed for their skills within the community.” Irrespective of the final outcome of the NPS, it’s very much clear that India’s poker landscape is evolving at a swift pace with players driving the skill-based game forward.

Looking for Poker or other casino card games groups in Bangalore.

Hey, everyone! I'm the YouTuber Tabor Hill. I just recently did an elaborate guide on Octane and wanted to share my findings. It's against the rules to advertise your own videos, so I went ahead and typed up word for word (with a few additions) everything I said in my video. If you'd rather me read it all to you in video form, you can find a link at the end of this post.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=- INTRODUCTION TO OCTANE: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-
So is the new Legend Octane any good? That’s the question I’ll be answering in this video, but more importantly, is he worth unlocking? Now if you weren’t aware, you don’t actually unlock Octane from the season 1 battle pass. A lot of people assumed you would, but this isn’t the case. You get a character skin for him mid tier in the battle pass, but it won’t actually award you with the character. In order to obtain Octane, you need to spend either 12,000 legend tokens or 750 apex coins. You can only buy 1000 apex coins at a time at $9.99 – so essentially, he’s a $10 character. You earn legend tokens just by playing the game, and if you’ve been playing for a while you probably have well over 12,000 already.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=- APPEARANCE, SKINS AND PROSTHETIC LEG DRAWBACK: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-
Now let’s get straight into the review aspect of the high speed daredevil, Octane. First of all, his appearance. He’s got two prosthetic legs and a creepy mask. His voice, as with most other characters in Apex Legends, does not fit his appearance. He has a Mexican accent, but he’s truly hilarious, much like Mirage. He apparently was best friends with Ricky Bobby, as he loves to go fast in everything he does, as you’ll soon see. As for his legendary skins, their all pretty incredible. El Diablo is my favorite, which is quite creepy. Speed Deamon is equally frightening, whereas the victory lap and gold rush remind me of the road runner from Looney Toons for some reason. I refer to Octane as speedy Gonzalez, mainly due to his accent, but also because of some of the hilarious moves he does. One thing to note about Octane is that his prosthetic legs are incredibly loud. When you walk, you don’t hear it – but when you run, you get a mechanical noise. This can be heard by your teammates and enemies alike, which can be a major drawback. It reminds me of the swooshing noise when you walk with a jogging suit on, like the gangsters do in the mafia movies wear.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=- PASSIVE ABILITY- SWIFT MEND: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-
So now let’s talk about Octane’s three character traits. First up, his passive ability. This is called Swift Mend, and the in game description says, “while not taking damage, octane restores health over time.” Upon testing this, you’ll regenerate 1 health point every 2 seconds. [Clip of me showcasing this in slow motion] As you can see here in slow motion, at 1 second a sliver of health is apparent on the health bar – and at exactly 2 seconds the health sliver gets restored. Keep in mind, as the description states, it only works while you’re NOT taking damage. This means it won’t regenerate while you’re in the storm. Unfortunately, this also means it won’t heal you while you use Octane’s tactical ability either – but I’ll cover that in just a second. Many people may consider this a pretty weak passive ability – especially considering the fact that if you’re at, say, 10 health – it would take a whopping 3 minutes to fully heal up. Compare that to using Lifeline’s heal bot, or a normal syringe and it’s painstakingly slow. HOWEVER, with that said, this obviously makes no noise whatsoever. Both alternatives to healing obviously do cause a bit of a ruckus and can alert your enemies of your presence. With Octane, you just have to be not taking damage to benefit. I for one thoroughly enjoy this passive ability.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=- TACTICAL ABILITY – STIM: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-
Next up is Octane’s tactical ability called Stim. The in game description says you Move 30% faster for 6 seconds. Costs health to use. Reduction to slows while active.”. Now this is a lot to take in via text, so let’s take a peak at what it looks like and what effects it grants. So here’s me using it while not moving at all. [CLIP OF ME USING IT] As you can see, you take out a ninja turtles secret of the ooze container and jab it into your chest. Then, your screen gets psychedelic as your character gets crackhead pro speed. You can notice a green super Saiyan aura on the left and right sides. Once you remove the syringe, your character gives a rock’n’roll sign and you come down from your high. This ability only has a 2 second cool down timer, and you can once again become higher than a kite and be the flash. Now as soon as you use this ability, it’ll take 10% health damage, but this is a bit misleading. Upon testing, it seems to always do 10 HP regardless of your health. So if you have 15 health left, for example, it’ll still only do 10 damage. This also only affects your actual health, and not your armor. You also can’t die from this effect. If you have 1 HP left and use it, you simply don’t die. Now I’ve seen a lot of people state that your passive ability will regenerate your health while you use this stim – but this is NOT true. [CLIP OF PROOF SHOWN HERE] As you can see here in a zoomed in view of my health bar, as soon as the 10 health gets taken away from using the Stim, the health regeneration does not occur. It only starts regenerating once the syringe is removed and the stim effect is gone. So if you ever hear someone say otherwise, point them to this very video for proof. Now one thing I don’t hear a lot of people talking about in regards to this stim ability is the horrifically LOUD noise that it makes. Despite it only lasting for 6 seconds, the noise is emits is enough to wake the dead. Listen closely to what it sounds like here. [PLAYED A CLIP OF THE SOUND IT MAKES] I have no idea how to even describe this – it sounds like a rapid heart beat, followed by some kind of boomerang being thrown, followed by an obese lady with a mustache chugging down a beer. And then there’s what can only be described as a slot machine dispensing wins at a casino to end it. All of this is easily audible to anyone nearby, including teammates and enemies. Regardless, this effect will boost your speed by 30% for 6 seconds at the cost of 10 health. Is it worth it? You’d better believe it. You can use this in a variety of ways in Apex Legends. For example, need to out run the storm? Hit the stim. Need to close the gap between your teammates that are already engaged in fighting? Pop the stim. Need to get the hey batter batter out of dodge? Drink the ooze. Need to gain the upper hand on an enemy in the middle of a fight? Juice it up. This 30% speed boost also grants you the ability to strafe like speedy Gonzalez. If you can hit your shots while strafing left to right, this ability is incredibly valuable. Did I mention that this ability also has the bonus effect of reducing the slow effect caused by some items and abilities in the game? For example, these things include the arc star stun effect, the caustic gas or trap slow down, or even Bangalore’s ultimate ability. If you get caught in any of these, or see one about to catch you, pop the stim and run away free as a jail bird. It’s invaluable and one of the best tactical abilities in the entire game. My favorite use of this ability is right off the bat in a game. Often times you’ll drop into an area that’s heavily contested and it’s, quite literally, a foot race to the first weapon or bin. Pop Octane’s stim ability and easily out run your way to loot before your enemies. I’d rather take a 10% health loss from my own ability than a 100% health loss from an enemies weapon. Food for thought.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=- ULTIMATE ABILITY – LAUNCH PAD: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-
So now that we know Octane’s passive and tactical abilities are top notch, how about his ultimate? Unfortunately, this is where the balancing factor comes into play. Despite his awe-inspiring other abilities, his ultimate is a bit lackluster. It’s called the launch pad. The in game description says, Deployable jump pad that catapults users through the air. Now if you’re used to Fortnite, a launch pad sounds incredible, right? Sadly, it falls flat. Quite literally. I’m sure most of you have seen this in game already since it got put in before Octane’s release – but it’s a green deployable item that resembles a lilly pad. If you walk over it or jump on it, it’ll catapult you into the sky. The initial distance you get launched doesn’t seem very impressive at all – however, what most people don’t realize is that there’s some tips and tricks associated with it. Before we talk about those tips, let’s learn a bit about it first. So first off, it has an extremely fast cooldown time. You earn the launch pad every 90 seconds – so every 1 minute and 30 seconds you’ll be able to toss down a fresh pad. You can deploy as many as you want, and they are a semi-permanent addition to the map (they can be shot and destroyed). [CLIP OF ME HAVING 4 DOWN AT A TIME] As you can see here, I have 4 down at once – so if you’re one of those noobie boobies that camps it up, you can deploy several in the same area and make a pee-wees playhouse for your friends and enemies alike. Lastly, you can chuck this pretty far. The higher you look up, the further it goes. Sadly, though, you can’t hold it out or cancel it once you activate it – he’ll let it go as soon as the animation ends. Just as an example, Bangalore can hold her ultimate in her hand and you can cancel it if you don’t want to throw it. That’s not the case with Octane – as soon as you initiate it, it’ll deploy. So now let’s talk about those tips and tricks with the launch pad. How high you go and the distance you go depends on how you launch yourself from the pad itself. [CLIP OF A NORMAL LAUNCH] Here’s a normal launch, just by running or walking right over it – the height and distance is the same walking or running over it. Now to launch yourself both higher AND further, you have to press the jump button immediately after getting launched. [CLIP OF A JUMP LAUNCH] As you can see here, the height and distance traveled is further than the walking or sprinting jump. Now if you hit the launch pad while you’re sliding, you’ll continue the slide as soon as you land. This actually takes you the further distance out of all the methods, but you won’t get the super height like you would by jumping. So to sum that up, if you need to get to high places, jump right after getting on the pad. If you need to go the furthest distance, slide into the pad. If you just need to get out of there as fast as possible, walk or run over it. Now oddly enough, Falling onto a pad from a great height, or any height at all for that matter, didn’t seem to affect the distance or height you go.
So what can you use this parlor trick ultimate ability for? That depends on your play style or how the current game is going. You can use it in combination with Octane’s stim ability to outrun the storm, which I find incredibly useful. Likewise, you can use it to engage in a fight or, more importantly, disengage from a fight. If you or your teammate has knocked a far off enemy, deploy the pad and launch you and your team right into the enemies face so they can’t get the revive off. Likewise, if you’re getting cold cocked into oblivion, deploy the pad and launch yourself to safety. You can also launch dead teammates out of harms way by deploying one right on their corpse, or in front of them so they can crawl to it. My favorite use of the launch pad is to reach high places, such as the tops of a building or a high cliff. I’ve already hit quite a few sniper shots by using the launch pad to catapult my way to the top of a house and snipe someone’s face off. Take a look at this tactic in action here. [CLIP OF ME SNIPING SOMEONE’S FACE OFF IN MID AIR AFTER USING THE LAUNCH PAD]
If all else fails, you can use it to troll your teammates – in particular, AFK ones. There’s nothing worse than a teammate that isn’t playing the game, so why not have a bit of fun with them while their gone. While I don’t have any clips of it, you could use it in the middle of combat and make your enemy launch themselves out of the battle, or even better, off the map entirely.
You can also bounce weapons and items off a deployed launch pad. For example, chuck an arc star or a grenade onto one and watch it fly. If you have a second launch pad available, you can deploy it right on top of one you’ve already placed and it’ll go flying and land in the exact spot where you would if you used it. With this tactic, you can get two jumps for the price of one.
And that, as they say, is that. Octane is more or less a mix of Bangalore’s speed and Lifeline’s healing capabilities, with his own speedy Gonzalez like twist. As I mentioned earlier, his passive and tactical abilities are two of the best in the game, while his ultimate is somewhat of a let down. With that said, it has many uses, and if mastered, can be a real game changer in certain scenarios. One thing I forgot to mention is Octane’s hidden ability – he can make your random teammates disconnect. Now I’m kidding of course, but Seriously, I’ve never seen so many salty teammates before. When Octane first came out, people would quit the game immediately if they didn’t get to be him. That’s how I did a lot of my testing, because I was put into essentially a solo game with no teammates due to them rage quitting. Of course, I anticipate this to not happen as much as more and more people get to try him out, but it sure was frustrating on day 1. So back to the question at hand – is Octane worth unlocking? Absolutely. I’d say he’s better than Mirage and Caustic for sure, depending on your play style. So if you’re torn between those 3, definitely go for Octane. You can’t really spend your legend tokens on many things in the game anyway, so you may as well use them to unlock him. With two incredible abilities and a very handy ultimate, Octane can make even the noobiest of boobies a contender.

Breakup-Move on phases explained. #worth a read
Denial--- (Anger---Grief)this part repeats---Acceptance--Move On
Introduction This is the first time ever I would be expressing my story in writing. I would not like to post and describe the characters as Anonymous since I want my past to be presented transparently. The breakup phase is a bitter experience and it cannot be simplified ever. But if my experience can ever present itself as an empathy or help to any individual, I will be happy to discover that the bitterness has a higher purpose.
** #lengthy scribble warning**
How we met?
Charu is my first and only girlfriend I had till date. We met in our graduation college in Calcutta. She was an year junior to me. We met on a random day in the college library and became friends. Few months after we met, I took the initiative, kept my cool and did some hard work for few months and thence began our 3.5 years of relationship. The details of how things got materialized are best left for another relevant post.
Honeymoon phase - College life
I spent one of the best 2 years of my life in college. We were both deeply in love. Her house was just a 10 min walk from my home and our college was also a 10 min walk from each others house, in another direction. That was a very big advantage. We were almost always together. We were so used to each other's companionship that when I used to visit my native, there used to be a sudden and big void in both of our lives. We browsed the streets of Calcutta, every nook and corner, just walked holding hands and spent hours under the beautiful shady gardens of Victoria Memorial. Life seemed lovely.
Honeymoon phase - Long Distance
In the ending moments of my college life, I got placed in a company and had to move out to Chennai for the job. A distance of 1400 kms. In India, this is a huge distance. She was very upset for me having to move away but happy as well since it was a decent opportunity. And hence started the long distance phase of our relationship which lasted an year. I was told by friends and read around that long distance relationship does not work, so I made it a point to be an exception to this trend. I managed my work life and leaves in a way that I was able to make 8 visits in one calendar year. An average visit every 1.5 months.
Long duration phone calls, sms, chats, skype, letters, emails and frequent visits, long distance was just a definition. Couple of times, I did not notify her of my visit to Calcutta and would show up on her door suddenly, unannounced. Her face used to fill up with utter excitement and I used to relish the expression. I was the perfect boyfriend, she used to say. I was proud of myself as well. It was lovely.
We had our share of little misunderstandings as evident in every practical relations, but we were "happy". Our marriage was an obvious event. She wasn't very bright individual or utterly beautiful, but I was contended and fond of her. I am a good human, career concerned and foresighted and she was fond of it. Few months into my career, while she was in her final year of college, we started talking about marriage seriously. I was already close to her family but in the subsequent visits I made to see her, I tried to get closer to her family, to her mother, to her father. They liked me as well. I was a welcome guest.
Few weeks before her college ended, she got placed in a good company with joining in Bangalore. We both were overjoyed since Bangalore is few hours journey from Chennai and her career was on a good start as well. I started preparing myself for my first career switch and decided to move over to Bangalore.
In my second last visit to Calcutta, I decided to introduce her to my family. I was from a traditional middle class family and love marriage was kinda strict, but I decided to take the risks and introduce her - it was time. My family was on a visit to Calcutta at that time. It was a ripe moment. We decided the day, the date, the restaurant for the meet. What she should wear? What she should do? What she should not do? We planned everything. Our moment of truth was near. Her birthday was close too.
The problem
She did not have many friends in college. So, after I left college and went for work, she was kinda alone, without much company. I was not a typical boyfriend who would stalk her mails or fb profile, suspect her of anything, or do any funny business. I had full faith on her. She too shared the details of any events happening with her, any new people she met or anything. Our communication was transparent. It was lovely. Couple of weeks before I was supposed to come to Calcutta to introduce her to my family, she mentioned a guy she had started communicating with. She used to blabber some stuffs. I was least bothered and kept myself occupied with the family rendezvous and any subsequent backlashes from family. In fact, I was working on some random plan B.
A few before our rendezvous, I noticed a sudden change in her voice. It was already 3.5 years into our relation and I knew her through and through. The change in voice and response style was too intimidating to ignore. I started panicking. One day I discussed my observations with her and she immediately corrected me saying it was nothing and I should not be bothered. I though I was over-reacting and unnecessarily suspecting my dear wife.( Yes, that's what I had started calling her by then). But deep inside my heart, I knew something was not right. Something heavy was happening. I used to ponder over and over again.
A week before our family rendezvous, a day before her birthday. She called me over and asked me to come over skype. She looked undecided. I asked her the problem. She was silent for a long time and then in the faintest of her voices, she replied, " I am in love with the guy"
Denial
I was crestfallen. My heart did not want to believe what she was saying but my mind knew she was telling the truth. It was an agonizing night where I found myself repeatedly asking her if I had made any mistake or I went wrong somewhere. I was in no position to accept what she said. This went on for a long time that night. Frequently I found myself covered in tears. The night seemed to last forever. She was gone, forever.
I woke up the next day early morning and for a moment thought it was a bad dream. But I saw my laptop kept open, the webcam attached and the skype still logged in, and knew the bad dream is indeed a reality. I made up my mind to visit Calcutta on that day itself. It was her birthday as well. I thought of giving it another shot. I went to office for a face to face discussion with my TL, explained her of an ugent situation and showed her the flight tickets. I left out the details. She was kind and granted me the leave. I took off for Calcutta.
I reached Calcutta by late noon. I called her up from the airport and engaged her in conversation while sitting on the bus. I asked stuffs like, "Do you wish to see me on your birthday" & "What if I suddenly come in front of you". To this she replied that she was more interested in the other guy and would not wish to be with me on the day. It was a cruel reply. I felt like returning back to Chennai at the immediate moment but I knew it was too late for that I would have to meet her. I told her of my visit over the phone and asked her to come to South City Mall ( very famous in Calcutta, very near to our college, and the place where our love evolved).
I met her after around an hour. Our eyes met with blank expressions. I wanted to scream at her with all my might, but it was her birthday, she was 23. I stopped in between my travel from airport to the mall and customized a red rose bouquet with 23 flowers and a handful of rose petals. I took her to the roof of the mall (it wasn't allowed but we used to sneak there often) and showered the rose petals and greeted her with the rose bouquet and greeted Happy Birthday. She just smiled, there was no love in that smile.
I booked a table for two and before she could start anything, I simply asked - "What's my fault? Where am I wrong?". First she cried for quite some time. People around me started looking at me in curious ways, but I was least bothered. My life was shattering in front of my eyes. She said sorry countless times in between her cries. She settled after some time and then started describing the other guy, his looks, his personality, his blah, his blah. She was clearly smitten. But I was stubborn too. I would not let her go without any fight. The other guy in question did not have a great family background, nor had a great college history and mostly indulged in alcoholic drinks and Ganja (Cannabis drug, a form of Marijuana). I was the exact opposite of him. I reasoned with my girlfriend about the difference between me and him. About how she would have a better life and stability and family and prosperity being with me than being with him. But she argued every point. She took his side on every argument I presented. This went on and on for a long time. I came back to Chennai next day. She came for a see-off, told me she is sorry that she wronged me and would like to be my "friend" forever.
Back at Chennai, things were worse. Without even realizing, a week passed and my time for planned visit to Calcutta came, the time for family rendezvous. I cancelled all those plans. And while I was there, gave another unwilling try to revive our old relation. I spent time with her, visited old places we visited together before, talked about things. For a moment everything seemed normal and I quickly realized that this time though, she was spending time with a "friend". Things were obvious in her behavior but I tried not to burst out. Few days later, I came back to Chennai, still unconvinced that she was no more mine, still unable to bring myself to the reality, still giving halfhearted tries, still wishing all these were part of a bad dream, still wishing that she would realize her mistake and would come back running to me. Alas, only blank wishes!
Anger
Few weeks after the denial phase, came the anger phase -- Why did she do this to me? Why did she have to do this to me? What made her do this to me? Why? But why? Whywhywhy??? I used to remain occupied most of time with these questions to myself. I used to remain angry most of the time. Weeks and weeks of sleepless nights spent with anger thoughts. I am usually a very relaxed and calm person and was surprised at the amount and the duration of anger I was capable of generating. Waves and waves of subsequent anger. During these times, we used to talk occasionally. I used to keep the conversations short for the fear of me bursting out at her. I still cared for her, dunno why, dunno how, but I did.
Grief
Just when it seemed anger is set to leave me, the grief was ready and waiting to hit me. The questions which presented itself in angry form suddenly took a grieving form and started bothering me again. But this time, the questions were directed towards myself. What did I do? What did this happen to me? Where was I wrong? I was sad. I was unhappy most of the time. I didn't enjoy anything at all. Again, I spent weeks of sleepless nights. I was out of energy. At times, I found myself drifting towards her thoughts. At times, I couldn't control myself and called her up. Only to be rendered more grieving after the call. It was agonizing, it was painful. It drained me of all the good things I had.
But as is said, every bad thing is followed by good things. My process of job switch was still on. And suddenly, I was able to pull off an amazing interview and landed an amazing job at Bangalore. But wait, more bad things were yet to come. In the meantime, she had started working in Bangalore as well. Our dream of spending our professional life in Bangalore materialized. Both were now set to work in Bangalore but under very different circumstances.
On the day of joining, I left Chennai and stepped into Bangalore with heavy heart. My office was amazing, with position as a Casino Slot Game Developer, the office environment was too good. Music overflowing. I wanted to feel awesome but I couldn't. I met my old school buddies at Bangalore. I wanted to feel overjoyed, but I couldn't. I was incapable of feeling happy. That emotion had dried off me. Midst of all these, she came to know about my move to Bangalore. Her office was within a couple of kilometers from my office. It was an agonizing fact to discover. She demanded a meeting. I was undecided but I couldn't deny her. I met her for 10-15 mins and then left citing office work, but in reality I was free. Seeing her face was too much for me. It was unbearable.
The same night, I tried to take another attempt. Don't know why this thought wandered into my mind. Maybe after seeing her face in person drove me into this desperation. Anyway, I called her up, asked her to forget everything, all past, all troubles, and come over to start afresh. Start a new phase of our relationship in a new city, with new hopes, with new beginning. She denied, citing she was already in a relationship. But she would be eager to remain friends with me. I disconnected the call immediately. It was stupid thing to ask and I felt anger over my own stupidity and self respect.
I got back into the cycle of anger and grief over a period of next few days. My awesome job, in my favourite city, amongst my closest childhood friends with awesome salary. None of them were able to make me happy. I was deprived of the ability to feel happy.
Acceptance
My period of worst phase was long. But long is not infinite. That's why the two words are different. My office had a branch in Chennai as well. And I discovered an open position in Chennai. I considered all the possibilities against my mental state and decided to apply for that position. It was just 2 weeks I had left Chennai but suddenly I felt eager for that position. Something told me things would get fine if I get back to Chennai. It was an urgent opening. I applied for it and it got approved immediately. I got all packed up and left Bangalore. On that night, before boarding the inter-city bus, I sent her a text notifying about my decision. And switched off my mobile.
I reached Chennai the next morning and felt a sudden freshness. It was the same city I had known for 1.5 years. I opened my cell and saw missed calls from her. She was little upset about me leaving Bangalore suddenly and wanted to "talk".
( A little background info. I am a very resourceful person. Maybe not too much in terms of monetary but in being informative and getting this done. I helped her a lot in college, helped her in placements and numerous uncountable other things. I was everything for her.).
Anyway, she called me up and we did talk. She was surprised about my sudden move back to Chennai and wanted a reason. She kept on blabbering about how she always wanted me to be friend. And would hate me going away from being friend. She felt little insecure about suddenly losing her resource pool. On a rather funny note, midst of all these talks, I asked in a sarcastic way if she needs me because I am very valuable, to which she said yes. (Yeah!). I felt powerful for the first time in over 6 months. And I felt myself smiling for the first time, though in a very evil way.
Moving On
I wanted to capitalize on this very nascent change. I felt little energetic on a miniature level. The Anger-Grief cycle was still inside me, but I needed something to vent out. I realized that more I kept myself occupied, the less my mind wandered to old thoughts. I was in need of new stuffs, new activities, new engagements.
I reached office and saw a Table Tennis(pong) board. I never held a TT bat in my life but that day, I took up a playful session. I chose TT to be my distraction. I took up serious self practice sessions in the after office hours. And after an year later, I was runners up in the doubles TT tournament held in office. It was a big thing for me and shocked everyone around. A win-win situation for me.
Parallely, I introduced myself to running at Terry Fox charity runs - 6 kms. I found it a great way to went out build up energy and negative thoughts inside me. I found running very captivating for me. Few months after that, I ran my first 10K at Chennai marathon. I was unstoppable after that and took part in numerous countrywide events with short and long runs, including a half marathon and a triathlon. I was on top of myself. These are my trophies and I take my pride in them.
Sometime in between, I took up dancing classes in zumba and hip-hop for a couple of months. It was a nice experience.
I started globetrotting on a massive scale. A new visit every couple of months. So much that I exhausted all the possible excursion places in south of India.
I got back to my reading hobby.
And about my ex, she desperately wanted to retain contact with me. But now, I called the shots. The ball was in my court. I declined any sort of communication. I rejected calls. The human mind remembers things. And certain events, certain scenarios have power to trigger dormant memories. Her voice had that power. I was aware of this and wanted to avoid the scenario at all costs. Out of sight, out of mind actually works.
...................................................................................................................
The ending part might seem to be very easy but it was not. It took more than an year for me to get out of my break up completely. I experienced true love. She was the everything for me and things which happened over 3.5 years took their time to ward off from the mind. I grew closer to my family. I had immense support from my sister and my ex's sister. Might seem strange but its true. I am still in good contact with my ex's family. They still like me. Maybe the bridge between me and my ex's family was built because of her. But it strengthened solely on mutual communication and behavior. I value human interaction and decided to retain contact with ex's family. Of course, she is always pissed off whenever she discovers I paid a visit to her family. But now it's my time to enjoy. I blocked her on fb and mails. She tried numerous ways to keep info on my whereabouts. She communicated with my close friends and kept the communication line open with them. But I was least perturbed and told my friends not to give any info about her to me. I am sure she fb stalks using a different profile. But eh, should I be concerned? Ignorance is bliss!!!
It has been 2.5 years since my breakup. And I have not been with a woman again, yet. Was it true love? Yes. Have I moved on? If it means being least concerned about my ex? Yes. If it means forgetting her? No-The brain has capabilities to retain memory, it doesn't forget. The memories fade away only with time, but they work according to what you want. If you want to think about past, the memories remains stronger. If you are occupied elsewhere, they start fading. Anywhere I see the mention of her name, the old memories try to come out of the sealed box and devour me. But my will power is much stronger now to ward them off. I think this fight will go till eternity, and I will always be victorious.
The breakup is a rich life experience. The wisdom cannot be gained unless experienced. It helps you get a clear picture of life. It helps you identify people better. Not only it helps you to have a better relationship next time, but it gives you a chance to make yourself a better person. The period of breakup-move on varies from person to person. But at the end, you will come off as a much better person. Don't worry if are in a breakup, feel happy that a better version of you is waiting on the horizon.
Life is too short to remain dejected over a breakup. Get the hell out of the room. The world actually rocks!
