Its been a week since I played a new song on my Guitar and all of a sudden I felt nostalgic when I heard one online. I was inspired to watch the title of Varanam Aayiram again for it where Surya plays a series of songs on Guitar.. Movie songs are real motivations for me to learn and teach as well. Ahem, I'm sure one or the other of my college friends is going to leave a sarcastic comment after getting to know that I'm teaching Guitar lessons here. Trust me, I'm doing it because I'm liking it.. and I'm not holding to any of those revenges from my college days.. definitely not ;-)
I learned playing Guitar for the first time when I was in the second year of my college, "only" to play a song on the stage in the women's auditions held every year as an Inter-departmental cultural activity. It was supposed to be a cool thing when any team walks up there on the stage with a Guitar and we would be very sure, they are going to take away the first place. That made me say one day, "we will also sing along with a Guitar! I'll learn it! Next auditions we are doing it!" And I went for the classes for six months, came back with all spirits for playing on stage. We did the old Tamil melody "Kodai kaala kaatrey" - And I remember how hyped our whole team felt! We of course did not win ;-) due to some conspiracies which usually happen in all auditions.. But our team evolved as one of those tough competitors thereafter.. And we also became one of those "hyped" teams yeahh.. Unforgettable moments!
Its certainly nostalgic when we get reminded of the incidents from our college days. School had been equally fun for me, but since it was a girls' convent, it was a different kind of an experience. It will take a lifetime to write about it.. I'm sure everyone has something or the other to cherish from the past.
Hmm.. I've uploaded my version of the song that I was talking about on my Jukebox here!
Have fun feeling nostalgic..
