My music story : #25 : Jayanth Thomas

-

Jayanth uncle, Greying hair, black beard, the go-to person for all the Holy Cross needs. He took care of the youth and Sunday School. He taught me how to tune the guitar and a lot of chords to practice. I watched him playing chords like a hawk and picked up every little thing he was doing. He was more than happy to share the cool things he was playing through the free lessons he gave on Saturday evenings. He was patient and waited until we got it right. He corrected us every time  we went off. 

I massively improved on my guitar playing skills! Skills that will stay with me forever. I owe it to uncle Jayanth, he was the spark I needed. Today as I make a living teaching music, I write this post with gratitude to uncle Jayanth.

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.
