Music and me... hmm... Guitar and Me!!!

Its been a long time (as usual), since I threw out my thoughts on this blog. I always have an excuse for not writing, this time am out of ideas for that. Well, again this series of thoughts poured into my mind with super speed when a friend after seeing my orkut profile asked - "From when did you start playing Guitar?" I had the same answer I have when this question is popped out at me, used to play long back.

Music and me have been inseparable since childhood. But for me music is more of songs ... singing, even if its bathroom singing, thats built in. I love to hear songs, hindi, english and the most gujarati. Playing Guitar was never thought of. It was only when my sister joined her medical and couldnt play it, did I get this thought of playing it. Also having crushes in life inspire you to do such crazy things. ;-)

I started going to a professional class thinking it would be a great stress buster. We software programmers are so used to getting into a rut that now and then we do go hunting for escape routes and playing music is the proven path.

I was quite passionate about it initially but then the work load at office started taking a toll. I missed one class a week, then two and gradually it was totally gone.. pooofff!!! Later I left that job and came to pune. I had decided that I would not admit defeat, Guitar will be learnt and for that if I have to take out time from office, I will. Sighhh!! That was like those "To be broken" new year resolutions. I was so passionate about it that I used to talk about Guitar now and then with a new found friend. He thought I was into playing it like crazy. Poor fellow got me bronze strings as a gift. I am still sad about the fact that I would never be able to give it its right place.

Guitar and me are like pals who are not able to talk to each other but still consider each other to be close. For whatever time I played it, I got a sense of peace, happiness. But then like all good things in life, the fun part is over. My guitar has got a non-working position in my room, besides my bed. Everytime I see it I think that I'll play it this weekend, but somehow that weekend never turns in. Well, lets see what happens this weekend!! :D
