- Scene: Crowded, rickety excuse of a school bus full of noisy, smelly, apeshit kids. An obnoxious bespectacled idiot who got beat up by a girl two years younger to him the previous day is singing Altaf Raja songs in the background.
Characters:
Imbecile – Corpulent, obnoxious and bored 11 year old;
Me – A super-cool 17 year old who is anxious to reach his house which, unlike the bus, has a bathroom.
Imbecile *suddenly turning towards Me who is seated beside him* : Bhaiyya, aapki koi girlfriend hai? [Do you have a girlfriend?]
Me *tearing his eyes from the roadside where stands a squat building stained in various unhealthy shades with the words ‘Sulabh Shauchalya’ painted on it* : Nahin… [No...] (The truth in that response is up for speculation)
Imbecile *with a gap toothed grin which makes people want to punch him. Hard* : Haan, aap se koi patne bhi nahin waali. [Yeah, no girl's gonna fall for you.]
Kids these days… *shakes head in despair*
- Belated Happy 109th to Ernest Hemingway. R.I.P.
- Jimmy Page and David Gilmour have been ousted. My favourite guitarist now is jazz fusion guitarist John McLaughlin who was a guitarist on some of Miles Davis’ albums, most notably Bitches Brew, and formed one of the most influential jazz fusion bands ever -The Mahavishnu Orchestra. He also formed the first fusion band ever – Shakti which consisted of Zakir Hussain, L. Shankar and several other Indian musicians apart from McLaughlin way back in the 70s when the term ‘fusion’ wasn’t even used in relation to music. Second on the list is Lou Reed, guitarist for the Velvet Underground and the man responisble for Metal Machine Music, arguably the rock music counterpart of Finnegan’s Wake.
- My classmates are regressive, homophobic, narrow minded, tasteless morons and I hate them all.
- Anyone who likes juicy, vitriolic Early Middle Ages gossip go read The Anekdota by Procopius of Caesarea.
So yeah, the point of this post is… nothing.
