I live in Bangalore and am on a well earned sabbatical after years in the IT salt mines
The first thing I did was to pick up a National 35 from Joy in Calcutta and start plinking in the garden with other jobless types.
I had given up shooting years ago when I came back from university and had to leave all my guns behind (boo hoo, it still depresses me).

Welcome.
Which university did you come back from and why did you have to leave your firearms?

You could have picked up a precihole from Joy instead, thats way better compare to old national 35, If you have come back to native during your sabbatical (assuming its Kolkata) , you have tons of option to practice serious shooting , City of "Joy" has made much progress in Shooting and Shooting ranges over last few years, may be its a good time to restart your shooting passion once again.
Thanks and Regards,
