My music story : #59 : Arul Guitars

-

 I was walking back home one day after church and I saw a guitar body being hung out to dry at a workshop! I walked in and it was Arul’s guitar factory! He was building a classical guitar from scratch! He was kind enough to allow me in and he even showed me a harp guitar that he’s making for someone! I had recently seen Andy McKee playing one! He explained to me the process of making guitars and I became a frequent visitor there! He was kind enough to answer every question I had patiently. He made this shop in the memory of his son.  I would’ve learnt to make guitars from him had I stayed there in Kammanahalli. 

Arul passed away during Covid. He had helped me set up my classical guitar and it still plays so good.

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.

Mr. Big - Just Take My Heart

It's late at night and neither one of us is sleeping I can't imagine living my life after you're gone Wondering why so many questions have no answers I keep on searching for the reason why we went wrong Where is our yesterday You and I could use it right now But if this is goodbye Just take my heart when you go I don't have the need for it anymore I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold Just take my heart when you go Here we are about to take the final step now I just can't fool myself, I know there's no turning back Face to face it's been an endless conversation But when the love is gone you're left with nothing but talk I'd give my everything If only I could turn you around But if this is goodbye Just take my heart when you go I don't have the need for it anymore I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold Just take my heart when you go

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.
