As i looked out of the window to see the neighbourhood...i was astonished to see lot of israelies,chinese,et al from other communities walking down the street...wat is this country christined United States has got in itself to hold this much diversification??..The two things that pulls everybody are the culture and money.We can do anything here without disturbing others.We can sing in the road,dance in the road ,so on and so forth...nobody is goin to care abt u...these so called americans don stress themselves much in living the life...and one important aspect is nobody follows some career for the sake of it...they take up the career which they like the most and shine in it..Even the gentleman who rides the bus njoys his job..no sullen faces..people respect others for wat they r...

When i wonder in god's creations there r somethings which r outstanding...definitely music is one among them...How can Naresh Iyer sing like heaven and take us to a magical world with maylirage...how can james hetfield sing and give stunning performances..how can chester give a magical spell with his voice???o my god..u r awesome...in creating this..The output of the entire band comes to the singer...in that way when i analysed i found out that watever lars ulrich hits goes to hetfield and watever chords Brad strums will go to Chester.These suppose to be protoganists of the bands should handle it properly...These dudes r the mouth piece for four to five ppl who can only talk with their instrus..Long live singers...
Joe sat,was one who can never sleep without his guitar.Once when a ardent fan told him ,"I would have given my life to play like this..",he replied with poise,"I had given it".He will wake up and start sturmming....and stums for the entire day...man...he has dedicated his entire life to music...
I am wondering how each band which is currently in the limelite might have worked..slogged,sloshed...
If their fingers can talk then it will be proud that they have used them in a proper way..but sometimes fumes for using them in an improper way too:)
Lot of ppl sweat out...but these bands r those who sweat for the sake of entertaining others and no ego can enter this magical net...everybody has to suupport everybody..lots of adjustments..lots of sacrifice...the successful bands may appear as a fantasy but the efforts they had put behind the scenes goes unnoticed...the way greenday had struggled to produce American Idiot..the way metallica slogged for the next day's concert in LA and later on went and performed on the stage as the coolest dudes in the world ...Music is the only wonder of the world..

U GUYS ROCK......

"UNITED---> WE FELL",A SHORT STORY...

August 29:
"Grand Central Last stop.." the speaker box in the train yelled out.Tom woke up suddenly from a heavy sleep and got ready to get down from the train.O can this journey extend a bit more was his call...he wants to sleep badly..since the night before, he slept only for 9 hrs...Tom was an indian software engineer who works for an american company.Don't get misguided by his name..he is Thamodaran and his friends call him tom...Tom ran for the escalator and jumped into his apartment.Threw the bag to the corner and jumped into the bed.For the next 12 hrs he was in another world...Tom woke up from his bed and he was reluctant to get out of the bed...rolled in the bed for another half an hour and started to office..He is a typical desi software engineer in the sense,his routine day goes like this...wake up,go to office,come back,either sleep or see a rajnikanth movie and then go to sleep.Sat and sun either go to florida or freak out with friends...But above all he is a very nice person to be with.
Thursday August 30:
Again there came the sun clearing out the earth's black screen ...O god office again..was his call..Took a shirt and pant (not even taken bath)worn it and heavy dose of perfume(even he fainted while spraying) ,started out for office..He entered the train station and unwillingly swiped the card in the train station.
"There she stood in the doorway" of the train like the Eagles song and the first sight was enough for him to fall in love with her like an indian movie.The only charm in life for him in that place (NYC) is to chase girls.He then went and stood right beside her.He went into a dream dancing with her in the mysore gardens.
The train came into the station like a big fellow searching for something with a torch light in his head...He got into the compartment along with her and he certainly had to sit somewhere else and jus enjoy her beauty.
But all of a sudden due to space congestion,Kart(the girl chased by tom,BTW she is not karuthamma from gudvanjari who had changed her name ,she is an authentic american)came and sat exactly next to Tom.Tom had a metro Newspaper(he got it for the only reason that it was given free of charge)in his hands and was seeing pictures.The train stopped suddenly due to some signal problem."O god i have an important meeting today",said Tom(looking at the sky)."It happenned yesterday also",said kart.Tom got what he wanted..he wanted to start a conversation and it happenned."O really..i dont know,You see i drive to office daily..and today my car had some starting problems and so i got into this",said Tom.There was no reponse from her."By the way i am Tom.."."I am kart".
Friday:
Tom woke up before the sun woke up.Took bath for 83 minutes.Previous record was by roger mckelly(82 mins).Got of the shower and sprayed the deoderant.Got into the train station really early.Missed three trains as he was waiting for kart.She dint turn up.Something told him that she is goin to be his girl and he can do anything to get her.Afterall he has got nothing to lose in chasing her.
MOnday(Sept 3)-->Office of Tom:"I am goin to introduce you to our new staff member",announced Matt(tom's boss).
Tom was glewed to his monitor and he was in total concentration reading CineSouth(its an indian cinema portal).
Everbody got introduced to that new staff member and it was not the turn of Tom.
"He is Tom",said Matt(Tom's boss).
One right hand jumped out to shake his right hand.
He stood and saw a face that was familiar to him.
Yes it was Kart.He shook hands."Do u remember me???",was his question.
"mmm...no",before finishing it tom started,
"no that day we met in the train..".
"mm O Ya..u r right...and u have a good memory...haha"..
There started the thing and they talked a lot
"Could u show where we will have to go for lunch..""I will take u to the cafeteria...",said tom.
Sept 4---Lunch:
"Yesterday's lunch u were not talking that much and u went early yesterday.." ,said tom.
"Actually i had an appointment with my boy friend..and so i went early yesterday.."
It was actually curtains for Tom...Lots of efforts in vain...
"So wat is ur boy friend's name.."
"Jack.."came the answer..
"How long have u been in love???..""right from his birth..." came the answer..
"what..."
"Ya Jack is my dog's name..hahah.."
"Tom was unable to laugh..he was almost struck with a calamity.."Kool...do u have any real human boy friends???",was his question
"Had some but not now.."
"Thank god i am in the right track.." was his thought
Sept 6:
"Did u take a leave yesterday..."
"I was sick...",kart
"Les go for lunch..",said tom.
This lunch was the tunring point in their love story,,,,He told all the good sweet things about her and she was really impressed..
Sept 7(Lunch):
"Can i ask you something?????",was tom"Go ahead..",was kart
"R u free tonite???",was tom"mmm....ya...",kart
"Can we go out for a..i mean....""a date??""not exactlyuyyy..but...a date.."
Sept 7(nite dinner):
This nite was the one in which these two enjoyed like anything and they explored a lot about their inner selves.."What do u want for desert???",asked kart
"mmm i will take chocolate cake...""o god even i like chocolate cake.."
"I dont know how our taste matches..." was kart..His homework has paid off..he had worked till midnight in researching her likes and dislikes from her blog..
Sept 8
"I want to take you to an Indian Restaurant today.."
"Ok..should be kool..but u will have to order dishes cause i dunno any dish there.."
"Deal..",said tom.
They went to the indian restaurant and as Tom had already decided to tell her that he loves her.
"Can i ask you something..",tom
"Sure go ahead",was kart...
"What kind of person u want as your husband??..",by asking this,Tom behaved like a typical indian who asks for these sort of silly questions as husbands and wives during a date.
"I think he should be good to me..in short he should be like you...if a person like you proposes to me then i will immediately marry him..",was kart.
That was the breath taking moment for Tom..."Man i am marryin kart.....",was his inner voice...
"Ok kart i am goin to boston tommorrow..and then Los angeles after that...as i have meetings in boston and LA.",told tom.
Sept 10:
Called his house and kajoled his parents for marrying kart.He then went to a big shop and bought a beautiful ring for Kart.This is goin to be the proposal
ring.I am goin to do that on 12th when i return to NY was his inner thought.
Sept 11 (6:00 AM):
The cell fone distrubed tom for three times and he picked up the fone..."Hi Kart"
"Hi Tom...how r u..",asked kart.
"I am in the boston logan Airport...flight @ 7:55...I am goin to los angeles and i will be back tomm to NY",said tom.
"I wanna tell u something tom...i think i am in love with u...",blushed kart.
"mmm...great,,,Really awesome.... don worry...i will be back tomm and i have bought something for you...and i am goin to give it to you tommorrow...",said
tom.
"Actually this is my luckiest year..",continued tom.
"How do you say that..",asked kart."mmm which year is this?",asked tom.

"2001",said kart .
"Count the digits...",said tom.

"3",said kart

"mm...dont u know that 3 is my lucky number???",asked tom.
"O ya kool..."really eager to meet u...tom",said kart.
"i want to give this present by all means...i will redirect the flight to the twin towers and i will jump into our office to present this...wat do u
say...hahahah"
Kart said,"Ok jokes apart .. bon voyage...call me when u go to los angeles..btw wat flight r u travelling".
"United 175..."

P.S.The morning flight from boston to LA (United 175) on 9/11/2001 was the second flight to hit the tower(southern part) of WTC.

NEXT CHAPTER IN THE LIFE BOOK:
2004 OCT 1 TO OCT 3
SPECIAL EVENT IN LIFE-----6HRS REHEARSAL AND OFF TO A COMPETITION
Sometimes i wonder how we did it...
Oct 1:Heard of a competition in DonboscoCalled up Vijay(lead singer) and told him,"dude,we have a competition in donbosco..les
play metallica.."Vijay told,"ok all set when is the competition,is that next month??"i said,"day after tomm"Vijay was shocked and said,"man i am not game for this.."Convinced him after a big talk abt wat to play and how easy he can sing those songs...atlast all set..Next he told he will be calling gaurav(lead guit) and i told i will tell this to "cow"
the keyboardist(the perfectionist who can find mistakes in the talent of Joe satrinani
too...really miss u dude...).COW is always the enthu man of the band and even he was
taken aback by the idea of rehearsing for a day and getting on stage...but he was on for
the show...Srshti(rhythm)...instantly said," i am coming .."
So all set...but some instinct told me that we were missing someone...Sujith was not there at
that point...o god wat abt the bass???
Oct 2:
There comes the saviour of that event Siddharth(he is right now in IIM A)...i have met
him in unwind and we were getting along nicely as friends...I told him the thing and i
told that i need him to play bass..He asked,"So wat r we goin to play......"i said,"les
start off with metallica dude.."I dunno whether he was literally bothered by this
statement as he stared at me for quite sometime..r u serious???6 hrs and u wanna play
metallica.....was his response..he din show up that he was shocked..he was kool and asked
me in a low tone..ok les meet now and discuss..We went to the god's own place named
DEMELLOS(who is giving rehearsal space @ 300rs/3 hrs???)...asusual cow booked the place
and we went there...called up vijay and told him to bring summer and hotel cal for sure
and then "someday " or wonderwalls...but the surprise is that everybody came to a consensus that we r goin to play summer and
hotel cal before coming to demellos...we have booked the room for 6 hrs...here comes the start...i said,"les start off the song and finish it at once, watsoever
mistakes we do..mistakes can be corrected after the song......"we started off hotel cal..but
unfortunately we din even cross the first bar...Srishti was playing "Papa kehte hai.."i
dunno y he played it..but i was sure that this will not mix with cal..then came our thala cow who mugs up the notes of each instrument and finds out mistake if
any and even teaches how to play ...(the bug stops there...he doesn know to play those
grooves too..:) and so he will not pull the crumb or sticks from ur hand and play that
and show it to u... )He started off teaching chords...e sharp, minor that this...took one hour to figure out
chords for them...and in the mean while i was practising my loops ..ok all set...les start it was the voice..jus gave 4 counts with my sticks..there started the BEAutiful music from gaurav(he has to
strum and sing this song...so he has played a huge part in this chapter of my
life)...then after 2 bars joined siddharth(cow was really enthu that he came near siddhu
and terrorized him to start the music)there came the bass...o wat a god given instru it
is...and the song above all is really deadly...i will have to start with 2 counts after
this bar..cow was already nearing me(his maneuvers will distract rather than
encourage)..alas... placed the starting 2 beats perfectly..there goes the song..
played the song to the end and we know certainly that we have done a gr8 job by
completing the song but it was faster than wat we thought,,,we had planned 3 hrs for
summer and 3 hrs for hotel cal..but its jus 1:30 hrs and we have finished(i mean jus
finished )hotel cal..
we had a big satisfaction as though we have done a show in front of LA audience and as
though we got a big centimental applause after the song...we went to the "nair kada" which is below demellos and it was raining that day...so we
took the umbrella and then went there...man wat a tea...really godly at that point..after
sweating out 1:30 hrs...went back to the hall..got one mentos and had it in my mouth and atleast we have one song
to back us up on stage was my feeling at that point..les start off with summer...1 2 3 4
and there goes the song..it wasnt that tough for us to get into groove after this...vijay
missed out the initial punch needed in the song but he caught us up and adjusted
well..."those were the best days of my life"..and there goes the crash from me....and we
r all set in half an hours time...so its remaining 3 hrs...since it is a small room we
were sweating like hell...
went to nair kada had a cup of tea..and again mentos..entered the room...nonstop play
started...we played two songs continuously...
Left from that place .
OCT 3:
Morning:Ln and bharatan came to my house...we started off...train to nugambakkam...that day
unfortunately the train had some problem and it stopped in kodambakkam... then we went to
the kodambakkam downtown(over scene..:))caught an auto went to the donbosco auditorium..
we were simply roaming here and there to find out any hot chiks were present and then
atlast my band members started coming one by one...
can u perform first team on stage???was the question from the organizer...
we were looking at everyones eyes as though we were some scape goat..
atlast we ended up second on the stage...
we finished it with ease and really fast...honestly our performance was above
average...and that too this came out as a product of 6 hrs...
Siddhu gave the final punch by grabbing the mike and saying,"...do u know one thing this
was a 6 hrs effort..."everybody clapped(for the sake of it..)and we thought like a
kollywood movie it will be an applause for indicating the judge to give us the first
prize..
The judges were Shalini and rehana(arr's sister)..
Atlast the results came..We got.....We got the fourth place.....o man wat a feeling..but suddenly i realised that there were only
5 teams and out of that one team had already walked over....but i din come out of this
feeling bcos i know that we have pulled out a gr8 thing out of the blue to perform there
in the first place.... and also gave a close competition to the third position atleast..a gr8
team work...pulling out 2 songs in less than 6 hrs is not that easy, atleast for us
...this will linger in my mind always...hope this does the same for the other guys
too...
