First guitar class......

Wow that was great!!!!!!!.I had my first guitar classes yesterday around 2'o clock(time is auspicious).

Around 10 to 12 guys were there all younger than me....some studying in 4th some in 9th etc....It was really nice mingling with them and sharing some nice jokes with them.

Coming to guitar as its a string instrument ,what the master told me was it requires a lot of training/regular practice to play it.I am really looking forward to it.He told me about some notations,open strings like that.I am on the lookout for a guitar now to have more practice @ home if there is time.Work is hectic now a days.The good part is that every art form whether its dance,music or other miscellaneous ones,they all causes an increase in the level of concentarion.

I think its the PinkFloyd,Eagles,Metallica and even IndianOcean that pushed me to land onto the world of guitar.

just to keep going.......

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair

I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair.

When suddenly she rose to leave,

I saw her hobble down the aisle.

She had one leg and used a crutch

But as she passed, she passed a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine

I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

~~~

I stopped to buy some candy

The lad who sold it had such charm

I talked with him a while, he seemed so very glad

If I were late, it'd do no harm.

And as I left, he said to me,

"I thank you, you've been so kind.

It's nice to talk with folks like you.

You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

~~~

Later while walking down the street,

I saw a child with eyes of blue

He stood and watched the others play

He did not know what to do.

I stopped a moment and then I said,

"Why don't you join the others, dear?"

He looked ahead without a word.

And then I knew, he couldn't hear.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

~~~

With feet to take me where I'd go.

With eyes to see the sunset's glow.

With ears to hear what I would know.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I've been blessed indeed, The world is mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

after all, it's just a simple reminder....

We have soooooo much to be thankful for!!!

Sorrow looks back,

Worry looks around,

Faith looks up.

Jury is hung........

In a small town in India, a person decided to open up his bar business, which was right opposite the temple. The temple and its congregation started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business. Work progressed, however, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong bolt of lightening struck the bar and it was burnt to the ground. The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the bar owner sued the temple authorities on the grounds that the temple through its congregation and prayers was ultimately responsible for the demise of his bar, either through direct or indirect means.

In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons to the bar’s demise. As the case made its way into the court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented: “I don’t know how I’m going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire temple and its devotees that doesn’t.”
