hi,
long time since my last post.lots has happend in the time i was away.lets first start with mood indigo.
mood indigo is this awesome iit bombay cultural fest and i had attended it, for all the four days. But the important stuff happened on day 1 and 4.
Day 1 was the ensiferum concert. it is a finnish metal band, complete with growling vocals and awesome guitar melodies. now i must confess i was not much of a metal fan, especially with the growling lyrics and stuff. i am more into radiohead, red hot chilli peppers and more alternative stuff, soft and clean guitar and vocals. i was not even planning to attend the show, but just to show i am right there with the metal-head-maniacs in the world, i went and stood near the mosh pit, not in it mind you, that is suicide for someone with my mosh-skills. ensiferum came. and oh my god. i am a changed guy now. my playlist has got everything from dimmu borgir to rob zombie to marlyin mansion and of course ensiferum. that concert was the best thing that ever happened to me.
On day 2, i played paintball for the first time, and it was totally awesome. dress up in those camoflague clothes and use those gas powered paint guns, i loved it. there was this guy who was complaining how his daughter shot him...well dude, alteast she has a nice aim. saw get smart, in which those agents play something like paintball, and this guy shoots the other guy's penis...i sooo wanted to do that once in my life...but couldnt....but it was generally very good fun.
now to day 4. the special on this day was the fashion show. i have recently seen he victoria's secret show, 2008 and was kinda anticipating something like that(you know, bikinis and justin timberlake concert stuff). well in india, things are a little bit different. the bikini is elaborately covered by a saree and justin timberlake is shunned for the more popular soundtrack from the movie fashion played on crappy speakers. methinks, things are not going all that well, and a couple of my friends agree. the worst however comes now. but to understand that, we must look into my background first.
in my school, by the time i reached the 12th grade, basketball had become very popular. now i am not saying i was the best in the school, but i belonged to the group of the best players in the school(isnt that the same thing?:D)...annyways, there were some girls who were interested in basketball also, and we never paid attention to them, i mean, which hot chick would like to play basketball and ruin her time, unaware that their talent lies elsewhere? this is where we all went wrong, since the real talent i was talkin about was lurking on the court, it was just buried under the school uniform with round pair of glasses and the compulsory two pleats(the thing girls do with their hair, i think its called dat but m not sure).
i guess anyone can figure out the rest. one of the finalist of the show was the basketball player from school, and oh my god(again!). i coudnt recognise her, i mean, how can somebody change sooooo much. and now everybody from school is trying to contact her, trying to be cool and stuff. but that is just desperate. forget it dudes, shes out of your reach now.
wat is more interesting is that i used to date a girl who used to be in the same class(i always get the wrong girl;)), and she hastold me some interesting facts about her. one is that she is a major 'PIA', and is very girly girly kind of girl. i approve.
neways, cant do anything about it, so lets leave that story there.
chuckle about this story while i go listen to some more cradle of filth.
enjoy....and yeah.....happy new year!!!
