Procrastinating ....

There are so many things that I think of doing everyday but I always procrastinate.

I have to:

• Play my guitar and pick up something new on it.  - Good thing is that I can still play all the old stuff that I know.
• Get my bicycle repaired and ride it daily - Hmmmm.
• Exercise - something that will make my mom so happy.
• Try to learn dance myself - Or atleast join some dance class.
• Learn and practice Sketching from online tutorials - I told my folks that I will sketch the running horse that they were fidning so hard to buy. But I din't and they bought it from the market :(
• Ofcourse write my blog - My cell phone broke down so I am currently using my older cell phone and GPRS is not working on it :( So that puts a break on whatever little micro blogging I was doing.

For almost a month I have been continously working at office well past my office time so that again gives me a lot of excuse for not doing any of the stuff I wrote above.

But thank god despite all this, one thing I am able to do religiously is read some novels, which reminds me that it has been long since I updated about the books that I have read/reading.

Good that gives me a certain topic to write about :). So see you soon.

Another weekend but not an ordinary one...

This weekend was simply one of the best I had since a long time. Its not that something great happened but the small things that I did, gave me an immense sense of satisfaction. 

Ok Saturday I got up around 9, read the newspaper, took my bath as I had go to bank with my friend. Then had my breakfast. Then my friend told me that we will go by 12 so I just sat and played guitar. Then I reached crown plaza where the bank was located. I saw its hoarding on the first floor and went upstairs but there I couldn't spot their office so I asked someone and they told me that its on third floor so I raced to third floor but there I found that its some other division of that bank and they told me its on ground floor. 

So on third floor I spotted a fleet of stairs which I haven't seen any normal public use. I thought its because normal public is not aware of it. So I sprinted down those stairs but so many people always told me that don't think so much , I soon found out why sometimes they are so correct. The moment I reached ground floor and tried to push open the door to my amusement I found it locked. So I had to tire back to top floor again and walk down the normal route :-) to ground floor and went to the bank. There I asked where does Mr. O sits. The guy at the inquiry told me that  he sits on first floor. Huh. So I finally reached first floor and looked carefully among the various shops and finally I spotted their office. 

So I entered inside and went to Mr O, sir I need this document which I had to submit. So he asked me my loan account number and as I din't have that so I gave him my name and he said Aapka to abhi approve nahi hua? I Said oh and asked him to check for my friend. He said Unka ho gaya. Then after waiting for a while he said I will check for you. 

In the meantime my friend has arrived and he also went to third floor straight but because I had done his part so he din't have to run much and I called him to first floor directly. 

The bank guy told me that your office verification is pending and I need to send an email from my office id. I said it will be difficult as my office is closed today and I can't access the office network from home. Then my friend told me that he can access office network from his laptop. So we now ran to his home. So after sending a mail we went back to crown. There he said that yes I got the mail but the person who will approve is not reachable. So I inquired about by what time is his office open and we left. 

On my way I purchased a sketch book. Oh I forgot to mention a dear friend of mine long time back has started sketching and she used to share her creation with me and those used to motivate me too. Ok I know I used to dread making diagrams in school but somewhere I always wanted to someday sketch too and I somehow feel confident that I can be good at that. And ya this is the same friend for whom I purchased the sketch book few weeks back. 

So on reaching home I got my internet connection reinstated and after that I also got a message from bank that my Loan has been approved. So I again raced back to crown plaza to collect that document. My friend had already collected it the last time we went there so I was alone. So while giving me the document he told me Are aapko to itne ka loan mil nahi sakta, you have to give me letter to reduce your amount. I thought are mere dost ko to bina kuch bole de diya. Then he told he has to give that too. Then he gave me the document and while checking I spotted that he has entered the year as 2009 hmmm. So I got that corrected and left but after walking few paces I realised that the same mistake must have been there in my friends letter. So I went back and got a new print out for him. After that I went again to give a letter. 

Then I went to McDonald and bought three burgers to take home. There I met two of my college friends after a long time. Then I went back to home. So as net was working I sat and uploaded the Bengal trip pics on facebook which I am yet to make public as some editing is left. And as the active x control was not working I had to select each pic manually. In total there were close to 200 pics 80 from a previous picnic trip I had with my office friends. So by the time I finished I was too exhausted to edit and add captions to it. And also ManU's match has started so sat and watch them win after a long time. Then I slept little exhausted with the days work. 

Next morning I got up around 10 and as already planned I have to watch 3 Idiots with Mom. So as soon as she got free with her daily chores, we too sat and watched it. Nice movie. I don't know if I had mentioned it earlier or not but I had already watched it with my friends. It was fun to watch with Mom as always. 

So after the movie ended I sat and started my love with sketching (So I am back in love with something). Oh it was fun. Had difficulties in making circles but by the time I stopped which was around 10 in the night I was happy with myself. I am little sceptical about whether I should share it on my blog or not. May be I will wait till I have sketched something substantial.

I had difficulties in making eyes and the first sketch I made was of a Girl, mom told me that it doesn't look like a girl. So I edited few features and by the time I said I am finished drawing it she agreed that ya to certain extent it does look like a girl.Hmmm...

In between I also played guitar and learned to somewhat play " Give me some sunshine." :-) :-).

Then in the night I continued with the book O Jerusalem. I have just read 200 pages out of 700 :-(. 

Anyways overall I fun weekend fulfilling one of my wishes. Now I think next wish to fulfill is theater. :-) :-)

O Sanam...

Ever since I picked up Guitar it was my dream to play this song, my favourite. Since the day I have heard this song which goes back to I don’t remember exactly but definitely more than 10 years , I think there have been hardly few days in that span of time on which I have not sang or hummed this song....So I am feeling quite great, quite ecstatic to have finally started playing it :) :) :) :)

I am experiencing emotions similar to what people in Virgin mobile Ads show like the guy who finds out he has passed his college exam when majority has failed and he looks everywhere and couldn’t find a single soul to tell or share , he just don’t know what to do, whom to call.....I am feeling same :) :) :) :)....So I thought who better than my blog :) which has always been there to listen to my emotions :)

From today onwards along with singing it loudly , I will play it too ...Yippie......:) :) :) :)

Thanks a lot God :) :) :) :)

O Sanam, teri Mohabbat Ki Kasam....MmmmHmmmmmmmm......... :) :) :) :) :)

Monty is back.....

Everybody with whom I ever talked about Guitar told me that playing the intro of Ek Haseena thi.. is very simple, so that was the first tune that my tutor taught me. And right now the way I am playing it its more like playing for Himesh than Rishi Kapoor :) (thats why the post title :))

Apart from that I have learnt to play Ajeeb dastaan hai ye (first line only). Tried my hand on Jana Gana Mana too and picked Happy Birthday to a certain extent too but its a long way to go and I am quite eager to travel :)

Finally holding something I love ;)

Yesterday I was gifted a guitar by Didibhai :) :) :) and it was indeed one of the happiest moment of my life to hold it in my hand. Always wanted to have one and play it like a pro. Atleast the first part is done :) and if god permits then the second will also be a reality soon :).
Thought of starting this post with a picture of me holding it but forgot to take it and just couldn't wait any longer to share this information.
Have already started playing it with the help of the tutorials available on net and believe me it does not seem that attractive to play and it will definitely require a lot of patience to learn playing a simple tune :) and that is what is listed at most of the sites that the most important thing one needs to learn playing guitar is to have a lot of patience.
Will definitely get hold of a tutor soon, as self learning is not that viable option.
Anyways it will be fun and definitely something to keep me busy :)
Will soon come up with a video of the first song that I will play :) (Lets see how fast that can be :))
