College Ends

Worries are hardly any
Morning 8 is still too early

We grab a note and start all late
And make up an excuse yet again :)

Exams come in every other day
Who cares ! results r jus the same :)

We pick up on one, and tease him lots
Oh, wat fun, that’s for us all !!

We go to malls and rate all chicks
Hog in restraunts, leave not a dish :)

Photos it is, everywhere we go
Look at our poses, d creativity shows !

We celebrate birthdays. Sharp at 12
Give heart felt wishes, and kick him so well.

Anything one does, we demand a “treat”
He better give it, theres nowhere to flee

We go on tours. In bus we shout and yell
and do all crazy stuff, I better not tell

But not forever would all this last,
Looks like a satan somewhere laughs

For all this waits an abrupt end
And I wonder, if I could say these, ever again-

“Worries are hardly any
Morning 8 is still too early
We grab a note and start all late
And make up an excuse yet again” :(

My first lessons with Blues

September 1, 2009 at 4:35 am (Music)

I went to a guitar class and it was amazing !!! I told him I wanted to learn blues and the teacher so much loved teaching ”blues”… That was his favorite and he hadn”t had many people asking him to teach blues…

It was a great one and half hour session with him… went like jamming and interviewing… I would ask him questions, lots of them, and he”d play and explain :)

He was telling me what was very important in blues, and that was great to learn…

Phrasing:

Each blues song has a lot of “phrasing” involved. Like how in English we make sentences, using phrases, blues songs are made up of phrases ! And they contribute a lot to the “uniqueness” or the “style” of an artist…
eg: BB king, the blues guitarist, plays it with a lot of “pause”… like in wind instruments, how the players pause to take a breath, BB king kinda does the same pause here.. after every few seconds in his playing (read: after each phrase) there would be a pause, and that, would help in registering the tune in the listeners mind !

Slow:

I also found, how its not about playing so many notes in quick succession, but just playing a few notes, yet with a lot of feeling… He made me go slower and slower, and certain notes I had to play with a very soft touch to create a fade-out kinda sound…

Exploring:

After I came back home I was so excited to realise that I can do my own phrases ! Simple ones, but still, I can do them. Tried out a lot of that also :) ) . What is great about “blues” is that, it is a genre that is so close to “talking”… The music sounds almost like a “talk”… So even if I can think of an accentuated talk, in a good rhythm, it sounds pretty bluesy ! :)

listen sometime to this song : (How blue can you get, BB king)

Step by Step Guide to Writing Poems

August 31, 2009 at 12:32 pm (Poems)

Exagggerate.
throw in some rhyme.
Repeat again n again,
the same single line

Add questions
and weird punctuations
And dont u forget
circumnavigation

Profound nonsense,
You can always write
Just make sure you hav
a dictionary by ur side

Scintillating adjectives,
Oh, its a must
And u can copy paste ‘cliches’
google the word, on net.

Let it flow
whatever that ‘it’ is
people will understand
the meaning as is!

Rhythm and metre,
make up a poem they say
So make sure u have
in ur desk, a scale

All great poems
end with a couplet
So if u want an example,
you got it here

“couplet” :p
—————————————————————————————–
I enjoyed writing this a few months back… :)
If you liked it, do let me know.. :)

Hey ! Yet another blogger here

August 31, 2009 at 10:44 am (Me)

Programming and Guitaring
I’m passionate about
In sleep and laziness
I’d be better than thou
I browse through the net
and call it research
IM my friends
and bug them to death
I debate seriously
on things I don’t know
Talk all crap, but it’ll
sound sensibe though :o
Swimming and skating
I’d love to do
But when am I gonna do dem?
I dont hav a clue :(
I’d take a brisk walk
happily in the rain
crazy I’d be
time and again.
There will be sense
and nonsense
both in this blog
so hey! follow me
I’m not so bad after all
