Bangalore days

My best times of life were in Bangalore.
Esp the Engineering college days- real fun filled and deadly adventure packed days....
From crushes to romance, pub crawling, binge drinking and kanjavu.....
Years of rock shows and metal and jam sessions and what not.
Anyone who knew me from college would have thought this guy will never make it in life.

My worst times in life was Bangalore again- after passing out- guess I paid the price of over-enjoyment.
An IT job offer went bust with the 2000 economic slowdown- forced to get into a call centre and stuck there for 3 years. Should have done something else.
It took me some effort to join a day job.
2005 looked better. A year later marriage and an onsite deputation to Down Under changed things.

2009 brought me to London - I owe my career to this wonderful city since that day.
This is now my city....

Character vs culture

Is character purely a reflection of culture??
Do your actions reflect your background or do they reflect your status of mind
Is it a mixture of both??
