When the world saw Blue, we taught them Black

This post is dedicated to all of those people, who have seen us play or enjoy music, and have felt its a Lifestyle by itself !

Thats us at NIT Ragam 2008, where we made through to the finals of the rock show and finished third on the podium !

Looking back at it, it was one helluva experience and feeling that can't be explained by my humble vocab !

It was a dream come true for all of us and it really proved that practice could get you to places !

My good friend Arun (a.k.a CP), who is also the band's drummer ( now ex, just like myself ) and I had always dreamt of forming a band when we first made friends at college.

Didn't quite see it happen until a bunch of young talent joined us couple of years later. Getting together and then agreeing on one genre was tough. It took us an yr to get noticed outside college. Our IIT Saarang performance was really a platform from where we picked up some energy and stage presence. One another thing worth mentioning about the IIT trip, was the fun we all had together as a band. We even shopped , ate, had loads of fun on the train journey, together. For 4 days it was just music all around and man, did it cure the senses ;-) !!

Then on, the jams and experience from IIT, gave us amazing confidence that we could really pull off this show at NIT. It was also known to be our last performance together, with me and CP soon leaving for our jobs and other priorities after college.

I won't go into the details of our show, but wouldn't miss out the fact that, as a band, esp on stage, you have this feeling that you hold the key to people s hearts !!

Will really miss the days we jammed, defying authorities @ college, crossing the limits of sanity and having fun the way we wanted and most of all make people around us, encore for more !!

It ll always be cherished as one of the most important things that livened up our college life !

Fellas, in this rat race of life, music is one thing that ll ensure your mental well being...rock on and never say die !!

Peace,

If a change is resisted...you might be losing that much needed experience called Life !

I must say that its been some time since I blogged...Been on the run with lots of other things on my mind...And with that came changes that taught me some important lessons in my life, mostly regarding my interaction and relationship with people.

People generally are known to resist changes. Most often you get bored of the same old routine in your life..you look out to people around you and start to think.." Hey now thats fun.." .But because even the very thought of change, gets you a cold feet almost instantly, you resist it.

I admit that I myself was a person who loved to stick to things which went mostly by majority opinion. Never did I stop to think whether I felt differently about some things that happened around me...

One person studying whose personality taught me to be myself, and in being so, think independently, also taught me to accept changes. He was one of my closest pals from the day we met, to the day fate parted us. Hats off to you man for all that you taught me, mostly through just being with you for the most part of your life.

A change, conscious or not, is a different feeling. It is very much analogous to changing the profile on your mobiles ;-)...You step out of the "you" you were and start to look at things little differently. Initially its like you are in a new place where you don t know anyone...but sooner you are ready to accept the new change in your life, the sooner you adjust.

One thing that i learned from a change is how fresh we feel, when we get out of own "old" skin and look at it in a way others see it. Sometimes, you will find things that you might want to change in yourself.

I have a reputation of writing long blog entries which go abstract as it thickens !!

I just wanted to let all of you know how good I felt when I started to accept changes in my life, and began to take every moment of my life as a lesson teaching me something trivial or the other.

Hang around for more, soon..till then

Peace,
