My music story : #16 : Guitar 2

-
As I said earlier I loved playing this new cool instrument. It was different, the rebel in me detested the Indian classical music and the order of western classical music. Guitar was fun! No rules, you judge the sound you mature on your own! 
The vibrations I felt in my body, the pretty girls who loved to sing English songs! I was in Heaven!

There were two other senior musicians in UTC. One, a student there he had a funny name, Anand Peacock! I think everyone looked over his name because he could pluck the strings on his guitar! The other one was Rev Oommen’s Son, Anand Varghese! I’ve only heard Peacock play gospel songs, but Anand played Beatles and Clapton. He sure left an impression on me! Maybe that’s for another post. 

I was nowhere near their playing ability. That played barre chords and plucked on the guitar. I could barely play the F chord! But I knew the girls loved them! So the 8th standard hormone rich me, embraced the giant guitar wholly!

Leg > Bike

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
