Writing Songs...

I really enjoy doing so... It feels fantastic...
Feels good to talk about life and what's to it. Feels... Feels like it's what I'm meant to do (Other than the things I'm already sure of of course).
It's one thing I'm sure I'll never forget. Sitting with Devanshi, Bava, Krish, Devansh Aanchal and who not in the 'Secret Barista' with Krish playing the guitar and me singing along. We do these impromptu songs. Just make it up as it goes. And it feels so fucking good. We just talk about life and what we're up to and what we've learnt and how we've learnt it. Radhika, the Vocalist from our Band is normally missing these days. She lives at Goregaon so she's rarely ever around. That and she's studies too much.
The thing is... When I listen to songs other people like me have written I feel just a little low. They're so frggin good! Of course, this feeling of inadequacy never shows up during one of our singing sessions. At that time it's just the music and Me. :) I have a good feeling about this man. I have a really good feeling about this! :)

But anyway...
I think I should go. I'm learning a few chords on the guitar today. Then I have a song to write... :)

Exams, F.A.R, C.H.O.I.C.E, Music, God and Me.

Apologies for the lack of posts. Life... You know how it is...

Exams start from Wednesday. And I haven't even touched Math... All thanks to my maths sir. He doesn't show up only!!! I almost had a panic attack yesterday! I'm sure I'll have one today...
I'm lucky my Friend Krish is coming over to help me with the math and what not...
Like I keep saying, I'm surrounded by some amazing amazing people.

F.A.R, though at a very slow pace, is becoming bigger and bigger... I was just telling Azad the other day that it feels like after an entire day of running you end up only a few feet forward...

C.H.O.I.C.E, short for the Council of Handling and Organising Inter Collegiate Events is a club at H.R. They handle all the big college fests and what not. Malhar, Kiran, K-Do, Hoohaha etc. are all handled by them...
I've been getting a lot of good work and responsibility in the Literary Arts Department... I wanna be A directer next year yaar! Or get SOME post!

Music... Ah music... One of my two saving graces in times of dire need... The other being a certain someone you shall never know about... At least not on the bloody blog!
Yesterday we were at the Barista near Marine Drive and Krish was playing the acoustic. I was singing and playing a table top along with that. And it felt so fucking good man! So fucking good!

And all those things above make me wonder about God... He used to be God the Creator. I thought him up and then he turned into God the Observer. But something tells me now that he's more of God the Guide. He's made all of this possible you know...
And that makes me feel real right. Like I've almost got it! :)

Me! Haha! Woohoo! I'm pretty happy man! Pretty fuckin happy! Things feel good! Life feels good! And for all the cribbing that I do (I really don't think I do much of it) I really wouldn't have things any other way! :)

Diggin' That Shit!

Implse Buing/A Changed Me...

We bought an XBox 360 yesterday. We were having lunch and all of a sudden Ada (my brother) is like "Let's buy an XBox" So we went and got one... Crazy shit... I like impulse buys...
So there's a XBox 360 sitting in my brother's room and I don't feel like playing it...
Now that's a little weird... I guess I've drifted away from gaming... Still love it... But like watching TV it's something I just don't get to you know? Weird...
Ah well...
I'm waiting for Pranav to give me Gears of War 2... I'm sure I'll be glued to the 360 after that! XD

A Personal Victory

There's this white dog. The second in a short line of white dogs. This particular white dog, just as it's predecessor, has be barking at me and chasing me since forever. The other day, for the first time, I encountered him while he was with his owner. And with a leash around his neck. He did what he always does. He began barking at me. And Just as he was about to run at me, his owner pulled him back and gave him a firing of sorts. Haha!
Mehta-1, Dog-0

Song in my head right now: Traffic in the Sky by Jack Johnson.
It's a lovely song I tell you! Jack's voice is just plain lovely!
Listen to it. Lemme know what you think...

16 Years Old.

I was telling Tulika, a friend of mine, at the end of an extremely long tiring day how I wished sometimes that I could just be a regular 16 year old that wasn't running around trying to change the world.
And she asked me, as I was listing the things I could do if I were 'normal' (Playing cricket every everyday. Be in a band and actually be able to practice etc. etc.), "Aakash, you really think you could watch Splitsvilla? Or Roadies? You think you could stand watching MTV?"
Thank God I'm not a regular 16 year old.

I remember telling her once when she said I worked too much that someone had to do it. And she asked why it had to be me. And as I look back now I realize how many people have asked me that over the past few months. And I finally have an answer:

I've been waiting 16 years for someone to start. And I haven't seen anyone taking up the cause. If I don't, someone else might do so. But then again, they might not. That's a risk I refuse to take. Some things have to be done guys. And if no one's doing them. I must. And so I will.

Swaying silently into the night,

Lack of time.

I've been up to a lot of things.
Mainly everything related to F.A.R. (forarevolution.wordpress.com)

And I just wanted to apologize to everyone I've been putting off due to the work.

Sincere apologies guys. Sincere apologies.
