Then and now...

Was passing by college the other day and suddenly went nostalgic, was thinking about a lot of things which came to my head all at once , the friends , the best friends who lost touch and then the ones who never called and blah blah blah but what hit me HARD was the memory of my first gig. I miss my band now that its done and i guess thats the part which drives me mad these days .Anyways let me get started on that , Microtone was formed way back in 2003 the first members were anupam and me and then came neehar and himank completing a line-up that would later many fights and bad gigs later become one of the biggest alternative acts this city had ever seen playing a shit load of gigs in different cities wining the big competitions and churning out great music, i liked what we did , we never cared about a metal dominated music scene , we were always the under dogs , we played stuff that either no one liked or no one knew and we loved it we had vocalists walk in and out but the soul of the whole thing lay in the four of us i still remember the first show we played for our college which was a major disaster but wat the hell it was a first gig and i still remember it like it happened jus today morning,The last show we played as a band and the original lineup at 6th element was brilliant we were calm composed sad happy all of us sang we played and man that was awesome felt like one brilliant way to end the whole show , was talking to my band mate today and jus then realised what a big thing the four of us had done in the past 4 years insignificant as it might seem to anyone else we are fuckin proud of what we did , it always was a collective force no matter how bad things got it was wat thatt held us together , from making jack ass music to stuff that would eventually become a crowd favorite it was awesome the jorney is awesome , still remember the first jam when we were excited and the the last one which was a bummer , music flowed all through , weird ideas locked in each ones head , relationships , parents , events , happenings , people , studies , spirituality all influencing us either all at once or in permetuations at all times music was our outlet , w did a good job of it , we never tried to be someone else we were who we wanted ourselves to be ,we lived every college goers fantasy. It really sickens me now , the thought that i'l soon be caught up in some work , i'm gonna have no tme for anything and anyone life's gonna be bad , tangled up and the one day i might jus put on my tv set watch a good video of some band playing and then look out the window and think to myself "SHIT ! i actually was in a great rock n roll band"!
