JIMI! JIMI!
Eddie!!
For the 32nd time since i bought my guitar which is almost a year old now ive been thinking about guitar classes..the search never ends..its like im never going to start learning. Everytime i make up my mind something gets in the way. Last time it was my sem exams and the time before that it was because of my friend who ditched me a week before we were supposed to get oursleves registered in “The Un***** Centre” in koramangala. His lame alibi -”i didnt know it was that far,lets search for a place close to cox town or indiranagar,dude” ,like he couldnt say that earlier! Anyway after kicking his ass (for someother reason) we asked around in college..frm what we heard un****centre sounded like one of those places that have a really strict “code of conduct” and bunking two days in a row would get you kicked out! This was the only way we would learn but knowing my friend and his bunking records in college we decided it wouldnt be too long until he got kicked out..besides who’d want to go back to school again!
I did my share of research and found a lot of places that had good reps,also called them all up,i was on the verge of joining a place nearby, but then my friend goes and spreads the news in college and this girl from engg also wants to come along..usually i’d have no prob ,the more the merrier..but after not hearing from her for a month i apromising they would be free then. I decided to give them a chance…the only thing bothering me was why do they want to sign up with us and not learn on their own. I got fed up of waiting and decided to call those guys up and tell them im not waiting. The answer i got was the weirdest ..it was something like this -
Engg.-pain-in-the-ass: “Hey bugger, just wait for a month”
Me: “Sorry man, cant wait that long..ive already waited a long time to start and my guitars getting bored lying around.”
Engg.-pain-in-the-ass: “Animation fellows have too much gandchalli! “
Me: “Why the fk would you wanna learn with us man???? Go with your engg gang! “
Engg.-pain-in-the-ass: “Engg. ppl are good for certain stuff man, but when it comes to company to hang-out its you guys who’r way more fun..just wait for a while.”
Me: (after hearing him putting down “his own people” ) HAHAHAHA ok man..you really know how to lick peoples ass’ ,engg is good for something atleast!”
Engg.-pain-in-the-ass: “haaahaaa..FK U!”
This was new to me so i asked my friend what tht was all about..hes like -
”Remember the times the 3 of us (3rd person ill mention later) jumped into the canteen through the window to hide from Arul Sir or run out through the mess entrance in 1st year which is the reason they blocked it later? And we got labelled the Coffee Gang because no one would catch us sneaking out of class and and but would find us near the coffee shop half an hour later at the normal break when we got caught stealing mangoes near college and we acted like we just wanted to take a pee but were taken to a mozy caretaker who tried scaring us but you jacked up? Also the time we teased an engg girl about her flunking boyfriend who was like a gangster in college and we got phone threats for a week from him and his chamchaas?? “
Me- “Ya so?” Friend- “Well word travels fast..”
Me- “You could have just said that..”
Friend- “dude, its more dramatic this way..”
Me- (thinking about how to catch him off-guard and shove this eraser up his ass)”Godamm you bitch!”
Friend- “Dont waste your breath shit head..we barely have 2 weeks until our college is done,lets just make more friends..besides you’ll know 65% of all the people in college then!”
Me-(oh ya.. the lure of being popular and remembered even after college is done even if by a few is irresistible )”Ok..im in..”
That was all it took to make me agree to wait for a few weeks more..and now im sitting at home writing this blog months later when i should have been Jimi Hendrix or Eddie Van Halen’s 21st century protege..well some dreams justtake a while to come true…ill have to stick with learning chords by candlelight when the powers out even if only for an hour..which is really the only time i dont have the urge to sit on the comp and finish my animation showreel or play night soccer out in the ground.
