And then apna guitar GOD showed up..........It was Wrik Barman...............After some time Wrikmentioned his desire to play at Wildfire..........Kallu as usual jumped at the idea of being a bass guitarist......They now needed a vocalist.......SHIRSESH CAN YOU SING A SONG FOR US???
I was like CHAALO TUM BHI SUN LO MERE AWAAZ KA JAADOO........They like it, who wont??? I am so boastful.......it was ok kinds and with 2months for wildfire and a month gap included in those 2 months, they were desperate............Hence, I got the chance
Wrik sent me a list of songs...........Incidently , we didnt sing any of them in our final performance.....
A month of boasting in winters to every good looking girl I met or had a chat with , later , back to our college......
Our first session together....We were doing HIGHER from Creed......Went really well, more so because our know-all Kallu said the first day is a very FRUUST day......but it wasnt............Kallu was like .........YAAR AISE CHALA TO WE'LL MAKE IT
At my birthday treat, we were thinking of a name for the band.........After scores of useless names, GOD came..........This was a batchmate , who atleast according to me is the weirdest guy I have met............He is a GOD in weirdness.....Surprisingly, he suggested us with a name and it was like LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT......................BAND was hence christened PARANOIA....
Everything wrong that could have happened , HAPPENED..........We were made to shift rooms from RK to RP........Our rhythm guitarist pulled out, once ........but later joined us back.......Our Synthi never came for practice........My throat was sore.........It remained so throughout...........
By the end though , we were getting our acts right.....My boasting about our band to all the girls i knew continued.........
The D-day.....after a frightening sound check, where Arindam , the drummer played at 2X speed and none of us could match the tempo..we finally performed........We did well........20 days mein isse zyaada was tough...........The other bands were light years ahead....HOWEVER playing on PEAVY and ROLAND amplifiers was one helluva experience........Sound engineer balancing the songs , judges looking at ya, WTMS AND ETMS GODS looking at you was intimidating but we did well..........
Kallu and Wrik have decided to make it big next year........I might try for WTMS next year.........
Its sunday today, the last day of the fest.....So lemme go and check out the other things there.....
