Korba Diaries!

Korba, Chhattisgarh!

Thats the place which I call home now. Naah home will always be Ranchi however crowded or conjusted or painful the capital of Jharkhand may be, it will be the only place that I will ever call my home.

Coming back, yeah Korba. So, being true to its name Korba greeted me with Cobras within the first week itself and it was like great to see the cobras frolicking in the wild! (obviously I am kidding…it chilled my spine!!). And the city’s air is like the most pure I have ever experienced (SARCASTIC!); I mean the first storm of Korba left the visibility to a big fat zero…yeah it was like standing in a pure white chamber, a chamber made up of pure white ASH! Yeah the ash that our company the several others like ours cough up all the time. With the ESPs being turned off to cut down on APC the situation is hellish sometimes. I have always wanted to see white snow covering the ground. Here the ground sure is white, but its snow at all, and sure does not become water upon melting!

The plant’s quite good though. But it seems that we do carry ill luck around. As soon as we came, firecrackers went up in the plant with Transformers bursting one after another. And you know what was the best thing, I got posted in the Transformers Group right when the group was going through its most troublesome period ever! Yeah I got loads to learn, but what the hell man. I couldnt even go to the wildlife park that my friends went to :-( (Although the park did close as soon as they went there as the monsoon came knocking HEHEHEHEHE).

Negativities aside, the place is quite good in itself. Although I wont recommend any tourists here, people who want to see industries sure should come here. I mean there are 5-6 power plants, an Aluminium plant and many more industries still coming up. Its not the 5th most polluted Indian city for nothing!! Anyways I am liking it here at the moment. For being  just a  stop in the journey this place is quite good, but to make it a permanent residence…Nopes never. Lets see what the future holds.

The diary sure will continue!
