"It is ok to be nervous dude, tomorrow you will know so many people would want to be at your place."
Even though I wasnt nervous, but the very thought of performing was sinking my heart inside. I wasnt performing for the 1st time, still it was all new for me. These words were said by LIJO, the guy who is responsible for taking me there to the music room, trusting me enough to play with him and consoling enough to bring PRIDE in me. When I entered this office, my 1st thought was to learn guitar because they already had a rock band. But I never thought once that they will make me a part of it, in a matter of seconds. Honestly speaking, I never played guitar in front of them even once earlier, neither I possess such guitaring skills that I can boast about. Yet, there exists something called music, and only musicians love musicians, no matter how much perfect or minute skills they possess.
So this time, instead of an acoustic guitar , I was provided an electric guitar. I was reluctant to play it, because I always thought I couldn't play it. But one strum was enough, enough to live and die with it. What a sound it gave, what a sound. Believe me, I still hear and feel it inside, craving to come out again, craving to rock again. And then came drums (LIJO is a superstar). Slowly we began to sync. Now came leads (Neeraj bhai is amazing). Sync again. It was time for bass (Moa is a rocker). Super sync. Vocals time. (Deepak bhai is SUPERB). Done. All set. Lets practise.
First time in life, I was in between a proper rock band. A member of a rock band. We couldn't call my 1st band DELUSION (colg's band) a rock band because, well, we weren't playing rock music. And at this moment I graduated to a new level. I am a rhythm guitarist in a rock band. Whoa.
The show was amazing. We started with AADAT, then IN DINO, Haal-e-dil (my favorite now a days), Papa kehte hai (I dint play this one out of hate), BANDEH and SADA HAQ. And one surprise, we ended it all with SYSTEM of a DOWN's TOXICITY. A song that has moments attached with it. And for this, I dint play guitar, I gave vocals. Not to forget, the audience was a dream audience. They clapped, cheered and sang along. That I found quite different from college life, because college people would throw in comments if the song wasn't to their liking. Great, I am happy today. Even though I was still searching 2 eyes there, it was great to finish it off with people coming in to wish me and shake hands with me. And of course, few clicks here and there with people around. (Will be uploading a few next time).
So that thought of nobody being proud of me has vanished inside. These are real achievements, memories that last long enough, and motivate you for being you. So let nobody be, I sure am proud of myself. So would say thank you to a few people here:
- Puneet ( You have the whole credit of making me a guitarist)
- Lijo ( I never thought somebody would call me a guitarist, and a friend, and those words I mentioned above)
- PLUTO (After all, you are my best friend, however rough you are these days)
- The whole band (Deepak bhai, Neeraj bhai, Samrat (in dino), Neeraj (haal-e-dil) and Mohan)
Tomorrow I will have new skills and better control over my guitar. Lets play.
