acquired monk syndrome

Its all in the past, but i think its fair enough that i write a post.. Its been Three months

Work : Work at Stoke is smooth.. Things are happening at a deadly pace and its all on the rail for me.. I fit in.. Thats what matters.. We’ve a strong headcount and also lots of fun activities..

Travel : I went to coorg in July with some friends.. We trekked to Mule-Matte in search of wildlife.. It was a dry trip.. Came home with absolutely no photos to be proud off..
I went to Shimsha/Talkad with Parents last weekend.. That trip was an adventure.. We took some wrong routes and reached some places with absolutely no people and lots of peace.. I think we’re the only people in the world who wouldnt curse a wrong route! ( .. We saw quite a lot of birds.. Since i was driving, this trip also was dry in terms of photography..
I have a few of them, but my flickr limit has been reached..

Music : I’ve been practicing a lot.. Composed songs for both the genres i play.. It should come out soon.. (Soon has lost its defination) I got some nice, loud, equipment thanks to JD I’ve been hooked on to Dave Matthews band and Lamb of God.. I dont want to justify why!

People : Lots of my friends have left to pursue higher studies.. Its the current fad for the crowd..

Accidents : I had one, had a deep cut and got stitches for the first time ever.. Good Experience..

I cant remember more, I promise to write more and more..
See I Remembered more stuff..

Projects : I’ve got myself involved in two projects.. MarigeMara and Street Smart.. You can read a lot about this on these links http://streetsmart.amonks.in and http://marigemara.amonks.in

We started off the evening with some music.. I played Summer Song(Joe Satriani), Wish You Were Here(Pink Floyd), For The Love Of God(Steve Vai) and Wonderwall(Oasis - Attempted this for the first time after learning it there).. Then i was joined on stage by Monjyoti and Ananth(Suddu’s Brother)..

This was Monjyoti’s and My last performance together as he is shipping off to Assam to practice Law.. We played couple of originals from FBS (Rock and Roll and Blooze) and one Eagles cover (Get Over It).. All in all it was a great show..

Then on the movies began and it was good fun.. Thanks to Akash, Mansi, Amith, Shekar, Ananth, Deepak, etc for making this a fun experience..

“Bringing the world together with movies!”

Sounds Interesting? Check it out here ! Bangalore edition to be held at ThoughtWorks(Airport Road) starts off at around 9.PM with Dinner.. I’ll be performing solo at around 10.PM and then Will be jamming with Monjyoti(My Ex-Band’s Keyboardist)

BTW FYI, Monjyothi will be leaving Bangalore for good in June and this will be our last performance together.. Quite a sad thought cause Bangalore will be losing one of the best keyboardist I’ve seen/Played alongside..

At about 11:30 the Movie Marathon begins and Goes on till someone Tells us its Morning

Amit’s Post

I spent the sunday at WonderLa with my cousins, niece and my nephew.. That place is amazing.. I think anyone who visits Bangalore SHOULD go there.. I think my favorite ride was THE MIXER.. I looked at all the hyraulics on that and was simply amazed.. Riding it was double the fun as it rotates, revolves and goes around in Obliques.. The water park was quite tiring, i Loved the Vertical Fall.. Couldnt stop myself from going again and again.. Although, a little advice for anyone who want to go there, DO NOT GO ON A SUNDAY!! You’ll wait in queues for every ride and its quite a drag..

Finally, I’ve settled down with a job after three months of absolute controlled chaos.. The company is caled STOKE.. I will be starting of on April 1st 2008.. Shifting my line of work to my line of interest, Networking.. All in all i’m quite happy with this outcome.. I’ve a couple more days to relax before i start of working..

Well.. Been really really busy with a LOT of stuff lately..  Most of which i cant even mention without getting shot in the head!

Anyways, I got a laptop.. Makes work simpler.. Its an Acer Aspire with hell lot of features for a cheap 29k..

I’ve not had the time to process the Nandi Snaps yet.. Will do that sometime this week..

I’ve teamed up with Utsav[Bugger from Mumbai] to help him with 8 shows over three months in Bangalore.. Quite busy with those arrangements..

I was home sick since Monday.. Suspected Viral fever and evident Sore Throat.. Celebrated Sandy’s birthday in that condition itself..

Save Nanda Road - is on the rails now.. Picking up speed.. We’re definately getting busy with that very very soon..

Well, the migration process is complete finally.. I’ve tagged all my posts from all my previous blogs.. So its all sorted out.. Check out the posts with relevant Tags and if you find something out of place, please let me know.. It may be a mistake during the migration.. j
