Beat Da Heat

HOW ON EARTH was I ever capable of writing so good? I mean, not to flatter myself, but as good as I was when I last posted, to say the least??? As earlier, there isn't the steam engine of thought, the maturity, the substance. Has that anything to do with my life, which has been absorbed into music and a select few people lately?

It's supposed to be summer, and everyone in Bangalore's sure beating the heat. This has been the busiest summer in my life so far, and hope it doesn't digress like my quality of writing. You could call me a busy bee that doesn't sting :) 

Leads on my nameless band, "full of intolerable monkeys" [Sahana Subramanian's Nameless (Again) String, 4:2] Performance 2 on April 7th, 2011. Better than last time and what we expected, what with no sound system (except for elec guitar amps) and just one mic without a stand. Oh, and last minute additions. The video of our cover of The Climb can be checked out by my friends on Facebook. Other vids will be out soon, and I'll be sure to mention a link in the next post. And when that will be, God only knows :P. Care to buzz me, anyone? And disable the Snooze button?

Today was a typical Sunday and they bailed me out of House Arrest for a while :P. Only to get stuck at an Indian Wedding which was in desperate need of losing weight. The wedding was of a practically unknown person who was supposed to be connected to me via her cousin by marriage. Marriage alliances give way to more and more of them. Every damn part of it except for the food is pissing. Dressing up, showing up, doing so in an inconvenient setting, meeting unknown people, smiling fakely, having to buy a gift...This isn't to say that I am kanjoos. It's just too weird when you're not close enough to the hosts. Boy, I was glad to get outta there and spent the rest of the afternoon in a deep slumber, only to wake up and find that the blow-dryer's effects on my bushy hair where futile from then on. The ongoing battle between me and sleep. We maim each other and therefore ourselves too much, but neither fades into nonbeing. 

Alright, it's bedtime for both my laptop and me right now...Wish me luck to do some last minute planning and wake up early in the morning, so my day isn't a waste :)
