Fly Away

The Barron’s new SAT book is currently occupying as much space as my monitor occupies. And well, my study table cum computer table has been reduced to nothing with a phone instrument, speakers, mouse, newspaper, etc. Believe me the list goes on. My table, for the first time in months is messy!

And the prospect of it remaining in this state for at least the next hour or so is definitely not pleasing. An hour, I say, because I currently need every possible thing lying on the table. I am trying out multi-functioning and I have started to get the flavor of my success at this!

These past few days Fly Away by Corrinne May has left me addicted. No matter what I do, this song doesn’t seem to like the idea of leaving me alone. I don’t know how but it keeps playing itself at the back of my mind. So much so that today while my guitar class, I kept singing this song while playing the G scale. And the poor teacher thought I was going through some sort of trauma! I really can’t blame him with the kind of lyrics it has and my ‘evening cold’. I am sure it was no less than torture for the walls and the numerous electric and base guitars.

I guess my guitar sir had his plans in order too. He asked me if he had shown me the special ‘movie’ he had recently made on Flash. Boasting of his newly accomplished skills, he opened the folder. For the beginning, it seemed like a little presentation types with mellifluous notes flowing from an electric guitar, popping out text about this Pakistani guitarist and his music. The only mistake I did was to listen to it keenly with unbound interest. Believe me the music was too good to avoid. It was sugared to serve the purpose of a lullaby. What followed was highly shocking. It didn’t have me running out of the room thankfully. You seriously don’t want to know what happened next. And so I rest this incident here.

I consider it an obligation to warn one and all never to buy CD’s from Singapore when you have access to the music stores in India. They are highly expensive. You’ll repent like me.

For now, I have important things to attend to and thus I see no reason to continue.
Till the next time, Fly Away!
