Magical fingers..

Many of us have always wanted to be close to our dreams. I always wanted to be invisible..my childhood dream, I still remember. But what if your dream is sitting right infront of you, and all you have to do is gather the determination and go ahead and capture it. Well, this post is dedicated to Ajit...one of my very close friends.
I, with a couple of my great buddies landed up at his place yesterday 'coz we had planned to eat out, go to the beach and have some fun. Well, I've been to his place before and everytime I enter his room, I invariably get hit by this radiating aura of music!! I call it 'hit' 'coz its too much for me to handle..Yeah, thats what his dream is..to be a part of a big band!!
And there, right to the left of his room..(the 'right' is not a direction, its more like "the book is right there"...you got it, right?...ok..let me not say any more rights now...NO NO...not the civil ones..!!! AARRGGGHHH...) Right, so where were we? Ahaan, his room. Yepp, so there in his room is this huge synthesizer, and trust me, no'man' has ever attracted me as strongly as this musical instrument has! Its huge, its techy, its got loads of functions...and man its so awesome!! And all I do when I enter his room is just look, look, look...and look....
This guy, Aji as I call him, is a true genius. He just places his fingers on the keys, and they move as if in a predecided pattern and when I ask him if he had this tune in mind, he gives me one of his smiles and says no! I mean, man...I'm just speechless!! I recall once when I was struggling to play the tune of "Mary had a little lamb" (yeah yeah, laugh off..I know thats what my level is!!) and I just couldn't figure out a note. He comes over me, places his magical fingers on the keyboard and plays the whole nursery rhyme! Whoa..I was just spell bound..seriously.
Tunes I've never heard before, music I've never found so soothing and smooth. His fingers are truely blessed...and so is his keyboard to be played by a fine musician like him.
Have faith in yourself Aji, you'll make it real big someday. All the best for everything!!

Speck-tacular!!

Dharik, also known as Virgin/Dhanian, is a great friend of mine..
But unfortunately this creature has a real bad habit of clicking snaps for his cell camera. I think its time to show you guys something I found really funny and couldn't help putting up.

Looks all 'Wiper'-ed out..eh..??


'Paaaaaaaapi' - Phew!


I swear to God Almighty I didn't 'Spank' him...(maybe the Chicago Bulls did!)


Just wondering, whats so 'Mechanic'-al in all this?


Ahh...meet our tennis wizard - 'Sania' Vijayaraghavan


Somebody said a little too much...its revenge time now!! Muhuhaaaa...

A 'Nu-shi'-mmering star in the Literary space...or shall I say Secretary..??


And finally...

Still a 'Virgin'..?? I doubt it!! ;)

Just for your information...none of the above..except Spanky wear specks!! :)
Enjoy..

The kid in the yellow night-dress

I have absolutely no idea why the Airtel people think that I am really really interested in the new towns added to Tamil Nadu! And some people out here reading my blog would be wondering whats that gotta do with the kid in the yello night-dress...Well, just hang on for a while, I'll come to it eventually...
Ya, so where was I? Yaah, Airtel...so I've been getting these 'new towns added to Tamil Nadu' messages, and lemme tell you guys..its pissing when you get a zillion of them in a day! But today I got a message I actually read..it was about this 1110 recharge on which you get 1007 talktime, and 6 months validity. Though, I still dont have a boyfriend whom I can call (and this is not written coz I want one, but just a passing comment!!) it looked like a fair deal. Apparently, today was the last day to get the recharge done. So I, with a couple of my buddies, cycled upto to gurunath to get the recharge done. (Now the kid comes into picture..)
So, while returning back I saw this little kid (maybe a few inches shorter than me...yippee!! there is someone here who is shorter than me!! ) who was with his dad (a prof..i guessed). A cute kid, maybe 4 yrs of age, jumping and hopping here and there, munching a cookie, dressed in a bright yellow night dress, a naughty twinkle in his eye...he reminded me of the kid whom I want to keep alive in me. Kids are just adoreable..giggly, innocent, sweet, charming. I never resist myself from socializing with any kid I come accross, so I happily went upto the kid, bent down a bit, ran my fingers through his soft hair, and said, "Hello, whats your name?" And to my joy, he replied, "Hello, my name is...brrushghh". Just in case you are wondering what his name was..well, I couldn't figure out myself. His mouth was stuffed with cookies..so it sounded a little bad. Nevertheless, not seeming dejected, a gave a wide smile to the kid, who smiled back at me and then to his dad. That done, I hopped my way back to my cycle!
My day was made!! I wanna be a kid again!! But then, I just was one a few minutes back...
