hello my imaginary audience !
6 months gone by and time for my next post(seriously, got to work on the frequency of these posts!). Have been sitting at home for quite some time doing nothing in particular, worked on my guitaring skills and seem to progressing pretty fast(yup, clapton's layla is on the fingertips). and have been living and breathing GnR for the last couple of days, no surprise my guitar riffs are starting to sound and behave like slash, though off-course not as emotional(the guy is god). recently discovered Van Halen(boy, can eddie solo!), no to mention The Doors(This is the end, my friend!) and The Early Pink Floyd(Syd Barret-Long live crazy diamond!!) .and for everybody wondering, yah i spent the last three months downloading music and playing songs on my guitar, extremely tired and bored of life, nothing to do except sit in front of the cooler or AC, and downloading powertabs, but has been kind of fun.
Met many school friends after a long time yesterday, kind of fun, i guess like the old days, but over a period of time have become quite an introvert, enjoy the company of my guitar more than anything else. anyways we went 'round CP talking bout all times, having a few burgers and drowning them with milkshakes, sat down in the central park and watched the sun set into the horizon which was a curious mix of busy shoppers,chaat wallas and some very elegant water fountains. loads of fun actually now that it all comes back to me.
Oh yah before heading for CP, went in search of a guitar shop in the middle of nai sarak,chandni... and as usual disappointment, loads of disappointment. why can't a music shop make more place for some guitars, i mean who buys a truckload of 'dholaks' anyway? i mean seriously can't you make a little place for some guitars and amps, they are smaller than most instruments! this guy charges me 7000 bucks for an amp that a guitar shop in calcutta was selling me witha great givson electric guitar for 7000 bucks !! i mean how do u spell 'daylight robbery' ?! pity i didn't buy the guitar from calcutta, loads of luggage, impossible to tug it all along.
and talking of calcutta, yup i went back there in the summer vacations this year, wasn't intrested to go back after flunked the IIT's,DCE(got through AIEEE however,will get a seat and yah ERAU's in the pipeline). anyways spent most of the days bored to death, sweating like crazy(you won't believe the humidity there). had a few days of fun however, went to mashi's house for a couple of days and used to go swimming with mesho every morning, sharpened up my swimming skills and am a lot better swimmer than last year. also my first time in an actual pond, i actually enjoyed it more than the pool, no chlorine sticking to your body when you get out of water(big relief!!) also went to a water park called aquatica with my sisters and mesho one day. lOaDs Of fUn!! loved the slides as always especially the one that opens up in a huge bowl with the hole in the centre, not to mention the wave pool with the 6.5 foot high waves. loved this one slide a lot, shaped like a 'V', kind of like the bowls the serve you banana split in, minus the sides. the things about 6 floors high, you go up with a tube. the arm of the 'V' which you slide down from is actually fall down from is very steep, yo fall down at almost zero gravity(which is a thrill in itself!), you hit the bottom and go up the other arm of the 'V' and i swear i thought i was going to fly off the edge!! anyways just when you get the feeling, good ol' gravity pulls you down and you undergo an oscillatory motion of sort at the end of which you end up at bottom. another awesome ride is a long slide which is actually a large number of slide joined together, each slide ends in a small pool, and the last one ends in a hude pool, a kiddy ride basically but what the hell !!
Yup, that's all folks!! (I hope porky desn't sue me, anyways i got no audience why would he?! hee hee hee!!) . 'til next time stay healthy, wealthy, wise and remeber to brush your teeth cause global warming is rising and we could do without a few poisnous gases!!
Yours Truly,
One and Only,
