Camp- Day 1

-

 Day 1 started early at 6:00 am. We prepped the farm, made sure that the cottages were set up while Felix cooked. I had pancakes with mango we made the previous day. It was incredible and tasty. While the kids played treasure hunt, Prerna and I made sure they were getting the clues in the correct order. After treasure hunt, I taught Durga, Rahul and Baha to play Oye Como Va and Put your lights on. We had a lot of fun. 

Then I spent time with Konarak. We discussed methods of arranging music for guitar and he showed me how he arranged “Favourite Things”  and “Presto” on guitars. I also showed him how I worked on the Ilayaraja’s song and he was all encouraging. 

Then it was time for lunch. Sambar rice,  carrot beans and bhindi. Felix did his magic again. Then I went to the rehearsal place and the girls asked me to play some Taylor Swift song. We jammed through the evening and the thunder and lightning arrested our jam. It did not rain so we started the camp fire and the kids performed. 

We had our dinner and it was time to send the kids to bed, dinner was pasta and cauliflower with cheese. We accompanied them to their dorms, as this place has bears and leopards. It was time to hit the bed now. We will start early for the trek. Good night. Thanks to Ishaan for the WiFi

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.
