My music story : #28 : Haniel

-

Haniel was one of the guitar students of Jayanth uncle back in the days. He played quite ok, and he was more Bollywoody kind of a player. He had a peculiar way of twitching his shoulders while playing some cool chords to draw in attention. The girls in church loved him. 

He left an electric guitar with me for some time, he was also using a flanger pedal. It reminded me of the 80’s South Indian movies. It was not a very cool sound with my peers. 

His electric guitar stayed with me for a long time. I decided do take it apart! I removed all the screws and pickups and put it all back together. As if by magic, a lot of screws were left behind in excess! I didn’t know where they went. I atleast understood how an electric guitar looked like in the end!

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.
