I have NO idea how long it has been since I wrote a post, but of late I’ve been frequently getting this sudden urge to speak out and do a 'Dear diary'. I don’t know what’s going to come out of this post, but I know for sure what’s triggered it. My Winamp playlist randomly played 3 nostalgic songs and my heart just broke down. I’m not too much of a writer, so I really can’t convey my feelings too well, so unhook your seat belts and exit when bored :)
One thing I’ve always wanted to do is play live, on stage, and with a good band. We performed at Saarang Light Music this year, and really, I was in awe of every other band member. It was so much fun, and it all seemed so very perfect. Ranging from a drummer cum vocalist, who happens to be a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, to a multi talented violinist, we had ‘em all! Well, we did not place, I don’t think we were even in the top half of the list for that matter, but it was FUN period. My playlist just played 3 of the 4 songs which we had practiced – Pyaar Humen Kis Mod Par Le Aaya, Kishore Kumar; Bandeh, Indian Ocean; Bheegi Bheegi, Gangster. I want to go back two weeks, 5.30 in the morning, practice for an hour, go to the tea shop outside Krishna Hostel, have chaai, go back to room, sleep, bunk classes all day, wake up for lunch, skip lunch, go back to sleep…
Music does stuff to people. Sometimes, ‘stuff’ does music to people :). A friend of mine smoked the holy herb, and decided to compose a song for the band… Well, it didn’t come out so well, so we had to chuck it out
Blah, I guess this post turned out to be nothing but an incoherent collection of thoughts. Sorry :)
Hey cyberspace, I’m back!
