Bombay - Chennai tour !!!!!!!!
















Our outstation gigs to Mumbai and Chennai were amazing. It was a very hectic, tiring trip with no sleep whatsoever. But good fun!!! So we start with Bombay, Srijan had to drop out last minute so we played with Daniel who did an amazing job. Just had 2 days to learn all our songs. He nailed it all to the core. Throughout the way, in the airport, on the plane, it was good fun. Learnt alot about planes from Daniel. Anyhow, so we reached bombay and it was raining and became quite muggy and humid. Reached the hotel, and the four of us had a nice circle and bonding and laughing session. Re-strung our guitars and we were set. Reached the venue and it was totally crappy, the manager was being a bastard and we were so not enthu about playing there, but it was ok. While sound checking we noticed this kid going on clicking our pictures. We got sorted with our sound and then Medusa came on stage for sound-check. A few of my friends came for the show, who I had not met in ages, Vantika and Chitwan. Good fun meeting up with them. My maasi and uncle also showed up, and i got damn excited to meet them. Anyhow, Medusa started and were sounding great, they created an awesome vibe and started giving us a complex cuz we needed to keep up with them. Anyhow, we went on stage and played a "Mind-blowing" gig, had alot of fun, crowd was awesome...... Met the kid who was taking our pictures, his name is Sameer and he says that he has been a fan for a while, very sweet kid. Awesome night, by the time we got done, we stepped outside and the weather was insane, it was AMAZING. Got back to the hotel, and barely slept for a couple of hours and then we had to wake up cuz our flight to chennai was very early................ Wanna go to Bombay and play again SOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!

Then we left bombay, said bye to Daniel, cuz he was gong back home. Landed in Chennai, met up with Srijan, went to the hotel, which was awesome. It was nothing like the crappy hotel in bombay. It was amazing. Ahhhh....... I got to eat some awesome Chettinad food \m/ :D. Got back to the hotel, tried to sleep but Srijan (the kid that he is) kept ringing our door bell so we couldnt sleep........Urgh!!!! Anyhow, Reached the venue, nice place, very chilled. Our gig didnt attract much of a crowd, but whoever were there, liked it. It was a very laid-back and chilled out gig, played a few songs that we had never practiced ever before. Met up with Sidhu and Arjun (JYG) and hung out with them. They took us out for more Chettinad food at night, Keema Dosas and all \m/ :D Awesome Stuff. Went back to the hotel, got drunk and stayed up. Left for the airport at 4:30 AM .......... Had the most uncomfortable flight back to delhi......

Reached Delhi, got home by 9:30 AM and slept for 21 hours straight!!!!!!!!! :D

June 8th ....... What a CRAZY Day!!!!!!

It started off with my confirmation. That was the hectic part. Getting up at 6:30 am, reaching the church by 7:30, rehearsing the song I had to do with the other people getting confirmed (which I had rehearsed only once the day before for about half an hour) . Got confirmed, felt so sleepy in the church........ Anyhow, that was one HUGE load of my back. I needed to get confirmed. Then came home and slept for a bit. Had a CRAZY lunch at West View, Beef Steaks ..... Awesome :D

Came home chilled for a bit and then left for soundcheck and played THE MOST AMAZING GIG Pub gig of my life. Hadn't felt a rush like that in ages. Awesome.......... Awesome day !!!!!!! :D

Keep going on













I’m heading out to the other end of the road

Cant make up my mind if I wanna carry the load

And all I wanna see is what im gonna be ten years down the road

I think that I can make it, I think that I could


It’s pretty hard that’s how the story’s told…… but I……. wont be a victim

I’ll figure it out, I wont be left in the cold……..and I ……. I Will just keep on


Holding on to the edge of the broken ledge….. yes I will, I’ll keep going

Carrying on till I can stand up on my own feet….. Yes I will, I’ll keep going on


Till now the journey’s been up hill all the way

Though I keep stumbling, I will not back away

I pull my hair out and I scream and shout, but that’s part of the game

I’ll make it big……. Yes…. I am here to stay



It’s pretty hard that’s how the story’s told…… but I……. wont be a victim

I’ll figure it out, I wont be left in the cold……..and I ……. I Will just keep on



Holding on to the edge of the broken ledge….. yes I will, I’ll keep going

Carrying on till I can stand up on my own feet….. Yes I will, I’ll keep going on

Not giving up

















Sitting, waiting for someone to come

To free me and save me before I become….

An Eccentric nomad dwelling the streets at night

One last chance for redemption, one last chance to fight


Can she see me in this hell-hole day and night, where nothing seems right

If she saves me, I’ll just hang on really tight, never let her go


I wanna feel that feeling again

I wanna know its not the end

My guardian angel watch over me

I’m not giving up so damn easily

Not giving up so damn easily


Pretending every morning that I got shit loads to do

Condescending every now and then too

And jealousy, animosity takes a hold of me too

Don’t have a reason to live, aint got no hope


Can she see me in this hell-hole day and night, where nothing seems right

If she saves me, I’ll just hang on really tight, never let her go



I wanna feel that feeling again

I wanna know its not the end

My guardian angel watch over me

I’m not giving up so damn easily

Not giving up so damn easily

Home

















They scream it out for somebody to hear

They lay it out with all those stats and census

They try to warn us about this Armageddon upon us

A helping hand from all of us is what they need


They shout it out for us to listen once

To save our one and only home

It takes one of us to make a difference

How could you not want to for our home??



Every day I take a walk and see people litter on the road

Every cigarette pack sold makes that hole in the sky a little bigger

Natural catastrophes are results of your own mess

So why don’t you get out there and put your will to the test



They shout it out for us to listen once

To save our one and only home

It takes one of us to make a difference

How could you not want to for our home??


Everyday it gets harder to reach that goal…. To save our home

But our will just gets stronger, it keeps us up, we’ll stop at nothing to save our home

Hard Endeavour













A new found aspiration, I got a brand new goal

Though it’s a hectic elevation, but I got heart and soul

Was a simple boy of 13 wanting to make my way

Through this grindstone I am hurting just dying to say….


I’m fighting everyday, hoping just to say

I’m gonna make my way through this hard endeavor

For the struggle that ties me down, I’m gonna stand my ground

I’m ready and profound for this hard endeavor


Started filling up the puzzle piece by piece

Ran into some old trouble near the banyan tree

I had my life, my guitar and a dead end ahead

And that’s when I started screaming till they heard what I said


I’m fighting everyday, hoping just to say

I’m gonna make my way through this hard endeavor

For the struggle that ties me down, I’m gonna stand my ground

I’m ready and profound for this hard endeavor
