I spent a while at one of the places I've loved frequenting in my three years of law - the friendly printer! I've spent days (and full nights, mind you) at the printer staring into a monitor which contains things that will be reproduced on paper and make me proud. The subject matter of today's excursion was an appeal letter for the College's 150th year Celebrations. Don't squint at my face when you read this - this is something very close to the heart, (watch Shreyas get all senti here again) and 18 days before my exams, I really don't mind spending some time on it.
The appeal letter is approximately 250 words of pure literary genius. Or at least it should be, seeing as it's been in the process of drafting for the past 6 months in the hands of numerous Judges, lawyers, ex-students, professors and how can one forget - students. Anyway, things have sorted themselves out and we're good to go on this one.All those earning a bit of money - please remember to allot some for my College - every drop counts.
Going to the printer, I also had a chance to test out the iPod earphones-in-helmet pose. I can't say it's the most comfortable - but it does help whenever I get stuck in traffic and am inhaling the fumes from an overloaded, under-maintained, 6 wheeled, diesel guzzling, cacophony-producing monstrosity (aka lorry).
I've also got a new lease of life as regards my guitar playing. Songs are coming to the fingers a bit more, although the finger chewing habit doesn't help the pain factor. For anyone who plays - the bass on Nirvana's 'Love Buzz' is extremely easy and sounds great- just find the right tabs - a lot of the stuff out on the net is wrong. www.fretplay.com is fairly reliable. Also songs like 'Polly' and 'Verse Chorus Verse' which are great ones to sing - you don't need any percussion because Nirvana never did - are really easy. Just keep yourself to the power chords. It doesn't sound great at the first go, but once you get the timing right with the singing, all is good!
I'm really tired- it's been a very warm day here in Bombay, as was it in Cochin, where the 1st Indo-Pak ODI was played. We won!
This one's from Aneurysm. 3 guesses for the band - no treats for this one:
"Come on over and do the twist.
Overdo it and have a fit.
Love you so much it makes me sick.
Come on over and shoot the shit.
Beat me outta me.
Beat me outta me.
Beat me outta me."
