My music story : #64 : YFC camp!

-

 This was a fun camp that Johnin took me to. He paid for my tickets as well. Not everyone knew I played classical guitar, so I held back when they were taking names for the talent night. There were these over enthusiastic Hyderabadi gang who were cheering and booing others off stage. So I took it personally and booed them off stage, they also sucked and no one liked them anyway. There was a cute girl there in their gang. She challenged me, saying instead of booing others off stage i needed to have some guts to be on stage, and she said “ learn to respect others talents” 

So my friends signed me up and they called my name. I played my own composition with some jazz chords and I named it “Learn to respect others talents”. As everyone else hated them, my piece was a big hit and everyone loved the fingerstyle guitar that I played. I became quite popular at camp overnight. 

This girl came to me the next night saying she wanted to talk to me. I said “I don’t want to talk to you” and walked away! I rejected her and it felt good! I had all the support from the Bangalore crowd and they backed me. 

This incident showed me how music was powerful and how I could get a lot of support and respect from people!

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.
