BAND

Band.A word heard very frequently now a days.Be it someone's passion or carrier option some how or the other at an average a band is formed per day now a days.It's really nice for the band members to have a cool hairstyle,nice guitars, all the flash light and not to mention all the lady attention they get.But as an Indian lets talk about Indian bands.

What kind of music does bands do now a days.The genre.It's either metal or rock and there is some pop.Mainly it's rock or metal.But these rock and metal is not Made in India product.It's being imported from foreign countries. But then music in any form welcomed.Be it any kind of music we need to feel the rhythm,get into tune.That's when you feel the music most.

But what I need to say at this point of time is what's the point making music in the same manner in which western bands does.I think there is no point just get in to the stage sing few songs of Metallica and Pink Floyd and get down.But as these bands do n't come to India frequently so we feel that it's better to listen to the exact copy.While coping those the scope of creativity is less.We have to stick to the original one.We have every thing in front of us.We just need to ring those notes and we are done and if people cheer for a song say Nothing else matters it's mainly because of a band called Metallica.

What I think we should be doing is making a REAL original composition.As far as music is concerned I think we Indians are the richest on the earth.Let's add some Indian curry to metals and rocks.There are lots of genre, what ever you say in Indian music like carnatic music,hindustani music,qawwali, lots of raga etc.Lets take few things from there add to the music what we are currently making.Few of the bands do but most of them don't.Then the music will be very much Indian without having any Indian instrument as the bands only play with drums,guitar,keyboards.

Another point what I think stops a lot of people from listening to bands is the language.Problems we face when we face when we face a devil known as English.But then you can say rock is best said in English but whats the point saying when most of them don't understand.Be it rock or metal they always have some message to give.Those messages are really important but people need to understand the lyrics, the message.Then it's a complete music.But then you can say if you have a really a nice music then the language is not a problem and it is certainly not.It is really a tricky one and it is up to u people to decide.

Two and half months.Sixty one days to be precise.After that I will be ending my college life.The four most beautiful years of my life.There will be no bunking classes,assignments,semesters,night long studies,smoking in the class etc etc.After four years from now college canteens,class rooms,college grounds will be long gone.The only thing that will remain is the nice cool daring moments that I shared with my friends.Do not know about friends if they will be in touch or not but the time I spend with them will always be cherished till I die.
The entire atmosphere was different in college.The do not care attitude,fighting every thing was lovable.
But just we step out of the college gate once life changes radically.It is hard core reality.It is not leaving the life it will be catching up with the life.Like finding a job,certain rules,maintaining a good rapport with persons even if you do not like them.I certainly think that in these phase of the life every one waits life to be full circle.But that was not the situation when we left college.We were free spirited then.We achieved what we wanted. We (leaving some of them) had a devil-may-care attitude.
In college I and every one used to curse those dumbos who did not turn up when there was a strike or something like that.Because we were not like them.But all the so called hunks gets in to the roller coaster ride of life we change into those dumbos of our college life.We nod positively infront of our bosses even if they wrong.We did not act in the same manner in front of our teachers in the same manner if they were wrong.So why should we change.Irrespective of time wrong is always wrong.But then we need to impress our bosses to earn a promotion.We from a rock star or photographer or dancer change into people who does any thing and everything(which we hated in our earlier stage of ur life) to earn a good leaving.Is this the person we wanted to be when we read loads of moral science book in our schools.Certainly not.So lets just not let life rule us lets rule the life.Lets be what we wanted to be and flourish in our own field.Do not worry our country will not have a 120 corers of photographers,guitarist and dancers some kids still love computers.So let us change.
