Sounds a bit weird hearin this 4m me (even to me) ., but., I kinda got used to doing work ! Yeah ! When this sem started .,then I thought i'll b missing my friends at college the most., I still do., but i've kind of realized that I miss the whole schedule., the whole 'gettin up-bus ride to coll-sitting in classes 4 attendance-canteen-labs-bus ride back to home' has so become a part of my life that I'm bored of doing nothing n getting bored. Its the same with my Project. It was a 4-5 hours a day(without even a min of sitting down)., 4-5 days a week project., even then we Njoyed it. Now miss that too. Glad I atleast got my guitar classes.
Coming to that.., its a lil frustruating now., doin all the basic excersises of plucking single strings etc., but again I realize., when u wanna speak a language., u have to learn alphabets.,then the words., then how to put them 2gether under certain rules n conditions to express something u want to. Music's just like that. My finger tips are kind of sore n they pain like they've been cut. Actually speaking., thats a good thing., it tells me I've practised well ! :)

Woke up pretty early 2day.., to head 4 our project to the outskirts of the city., to our industry where we're carryin out our project. Me n my friend got up early., made the long journey., made it safely to the industry on the dangerous highway., argued n reasoned with the security 4 comin late., and after all that., went to the workshop floor., looked at each other n started laughin. Coz both of us knew that we were done with the project., and went thru all that truble so that we cud have the tasty paratha on our way home ., like we do everyday :P
Its one of the best tastin parathas I've ever had in my life and we hav it at a small place on our way back home. One plate of that n u wont have anythin else 4 the rest of the day., its that good n heavy !
Came home tired., got my friends HD and copied a few movies like Electra.,The Ring 2 etc and then had a really gr8 sleep. After that., to my GUITAR CLASS ! well.., actually it wasn't thaaaat excitin 2day., i had to do this boring excercises for loosenin my fingers and placin them right on the frets. Turns out that my fingers are too big to not touch the other strings while they're on one and my long dirty finger nails make it even more difficult ! Wat a shame ! Anyways., i ain't givin up a spl dream so early ! No way ! I'll start by cuttin down my nails to size !

Dream comes true.., finally !!

2day, had no coll or project work., so was feelin lazy n got up 4m my bed pretty late. Had a bad start though., fights n arguements with folks at home :(
After that., ordered some food home., that has become so regular now that its not spl anymore !
Hmm..,after that.., wat did I do.., hmm yeah., wat else ., was online on orkut n downloadin music !
Then around 4:30., i tried to sleep., and managed to sleep 4 about an hour., only 4 an hour even though i was veeeeeeery sleepy.., coz I had to go to some place., some place to do somethin interesting., somethin that's been my dream since I was a little kid.
I had my first (demo) guitar class 2day !!!!!
Yeah ! thats right., GUITAR !! Its been a really big dream of mine. I've started n stopped trainin 4 a few other instruments b4, but, there's somethin spl n romantic bout the Guitar.
I looked 4 a few institutes 4 learnin this magical instrument., I knew wat I wanted 4m then.,but everybody's dissapointed me.., but this place i went to 2day., they were just the ppl i was lookin 4 ! Young ( almost my age)., passionate bout learnin n teaching music.., and they teach just the way i want to learn ! The timings., fee.,etc etc are very flexible., wat more can I ask 4 ! I had a demo clas 2day., hope my dad'll let me join these guys.
Many ppl wonderin., y guitar at this imp stage of life ., I'll say., this dream's very imp to me ., i have lots of free time in hand., if not now., thn may b I'll never get time to fullfill it !
N yeah.., i cud also use it while proposin to my girl whenever that'll be., whoever that is ;)

We all tapped our wallets gently and smiled silently. Rajiv got a TINY pizza for 50 bucks + taxes.
The rest of us got Chaat( which tasted weird that day but was still good coz we didnt pay 4 it ) n drinks. Then a small round of photoshoot with Rajiv yellin and attractin all the attention we cud hav asked 4 !

Time 4 desserts ! Ice creams 4 everybody !!! everybody took a cone and I asked 4 a speciality which i regretted later coz the cake was stinkin like it was made of grease ! Ice cream was good.
