Greetings!
Off late I see myself drifted towards the world of music. Music has always interested me but it was only limited to the likes of listening and appreciating. I have never made a daring or rather foolish attempt to create my own music or replicate someone else's. That being the history, my newfound interest to create or play my own music started when one of my close friends regarded my insouciant braying (something that i don't do in public fearing charges under public nuisance!!) as singing. As Mark Twain put it, "We are always more anxious to be distinguished for the talent that we don't possess than to be praised for the 15 talents we do possess" that dazzling form of eulogy left me overwhelmed, astonished and curious. My curiosity got better off in me and put me in a situation where I started thinking and believing, what if?? what if there's an Atif Aslam or a Bryan Adams hidden in me!! Without any further thought I decided to bring out the long hidden talent in me in the form of a guitar!! A close friend of mine who still wants to believe out of all odds that there is somewhere a little bit of sanity left in me gifted me a wonderful guitar and here I am excited and ready to traverse the world of music!!

Now with the guitar in my hand and a world to conquer, I immediately joined a new batch of guitar classes which began around the same time my curiosity for music arose.(A strange coincidence!) After attending two or three sessions, all I could manage to do was to sit on my ass(american!) like an ass(british) and try to comprehend everything thats happening around. Those sessions have surely prompted me to play some rock music (music played with rocks to be more precise) and I have been a constant source of forced entertainment to people at home. "Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays." as quoted by Oscar Wilde, seems to be true in my case. Though the start has been a bit shaky and my desperate attempts to play something that can be called as music falling on deaf ears, my determination has not wavered and I am still up and ready to take the challenge. As they say, "Rome was not built in a day" great cities and great artist take their time to shine!! Soon the curiosity that has put me here will transform into a hobby, hobby would rise to passion and finally passion reaching the level of obsession. Time will only be the witness to all this..

That being the significant part of things happening with me, today is Saint Valentine's day. A day to express love. Love, one of the few things but a significant one which makes us human, which can be beautiful, bitter, wonderful, woeful and many more things to us. Love is one emotion in us which is certainly enduring. Love lasts for a lifetime. This day always brings back the memories of the good old age of adoloscence. One of the anecdotes I always remember was when I was studying in tenth, the owner of a gifts and novelties shop visited our headmaster to express his gratitude for the great sale he could do on valentine's day thanks to our school students. The next day our headmaster delivered a firing and uninspiring speech on how disappointed he was and all the restrictions he is planning to impose. Those were the days when love was novel and refreshingly new emotion. Since then love has grown, love has taken various forms. But love is one feeling which is not be concealed or treasured. Love is to be expressed. Love for friends, family. When you love someone, show it!! So when it comes to love, everyday has to be a Valentine's day.. Happy Valentine's day. God Bless!!
