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!!

sorry am late here...but looks like no one has commented...so me first..yay

i understand what you mean when you say "getting hit by music"...coz once this friend of mine was playing the guitar and within mins about 20 people were there listening and commenting and it was simply great to see watch the power of something so inherent in us.
as for your friend...i wish he continues with his talent and keeps enthralling people everywhere.
