Happenings

Nothing interesting.

Started developing calluses on my fingers, broke a guitar string by trying to act too smart when tuning one.

Reverted back to blackbox instead of Gnome after an unsuccessful upgrade to F10.

Now I know what people mean by ‘rpm hell’.

Had a row with pops and punched a mirror in fury(regretting it later, of course).

On a lighter note:

Chetan and I have decided to go fishing these days. Ripped a couple of bamboo shoots from the bushes near Dodabetta.

Bought a few fish hooks, line and float from Quetta stores, damn those guys remembered to buy some for us as promised.
Not quite sure about the shoot length or its parameters, anyways.

Will be going to fisheries to find out about the regulations.

Hope to catch a big one.

A guitar at long last

I fell in love with a casio keyboard a long time ago back in school.

Later moved on to a broken down grand piano in the main hall at Breeks. It holds some good memories.

Back in college was mildly captivated by a guitar.

Was never good at reading sheet music and couldn’t afford a decent keyboard so I switched my thoughts to learning to play guitar.

It doesn’t make any sense to learn without having an instrument.
So after a considerable amount of thinking decided to go for a guitar.
The available range and brands were overwhelming, friends suggested a GB&A. Didn’t quite like it with the different sound hole.
After taking Kishan’s advice went for a pluto guitar(yes, Chinese made, they do make good ones). Sounds good and I like the feel. Jumbo size did not work for me, so the standard size.

Now all that remains is to see how far I can improve my musical acumen.

Cheers to Kishan and friends.
