Geek and his Guitar
I joined guitar class recently, for reasons unknown I really wanted to do something which is not related to computer science, I have been trying different stuff for a long long time and after a fairly satisfactory performance at photography, I turned my eyes towards music, especially guitar because some of my college friends were talking about it and I recently (read as 6 moths ago) watched Vaaranam Aaiyram. That was the right time when Suresh and Mathu were talking about joining guitar classes and the rest is history ( or at least I will try to forge some music history books to talk about my guitar life.. 
)
Its been a couple of weeks since I have joined, looks like the only good thing I know about guitar is that I am able to hold it properly and have been able to pick the right strings. The last class I attended, my teacher got very tired because he had to spend a lot of time to get the rhythm right. You can’t blame him, he hasn’t seen me as a student before, he should speak to my college Maths/ECE professors or my school Tamil teacher, they probably know how hard it is to teach me something which I have no idea about. But the good thing about guitar, which it doesn’t share with Tamil or other hard(useless) things is that I want to learn guitar, and never in my life did I ever wanted to learn Tamil. So, lets see how far I go with this new exercise.
I am now able to play a couple of movie tunes to some extent that people are able to recognize these as some kind of music, although they were not able to guess what music it was.
And these are my goals
- I have to learn to play guitar really well
- I have to learn to play “En iniya pon nila ve” Song
- Gotta find the train in which Meghna (sameera reddy) is traveling, and the rest will be history
I am a firm believer in having simple goals .. he he

Where are you learning? I always wanted to join a guitar class. Do let me know more details about your master.

[...] I tried learning guitar, it was quite happy to see myself playing it well, but due to unexpected (But somehow all my friends guessed it beforehand) distractions, I couldn’t continue with it for too long. My travelling hit an unexpected all time low this year with just 3 or 4 noticeable trips for the whole year; this was a huge drop when compared to previous years. So If I wasn’t travelling a lot, I wasn’t obviously using my camera lot. I also had some fun at stock market and made some marginal profits out of my money; it did help me learn a lot on financial matters. [...]
