Somethings last forever...

Since quite a long time that dilapidated sight was stirring a lot of emotions in me....everytime i used to look at it i tried to rotate my head as well as my thoughts...running away from it was something which was more botheresome ... finally today i stopped by the salvage & pondered over something that can never be recuperated...it might sound dramatic but even the most practical section of my brain could'nt stop me from actually visualizing "tuning forks"(our rock band)in the heap of dust where it stood sometime back ...it took me not more than 5 mins to re travel from the day way back in august 2003 when i, for the first time entered the rehearsal room as a nervous singer, the later days of sheer dedication to riyaz, the days of rehearsals all day & submissions all night, the days of swollen fingers coz of the guitar pick, the summer of 69 performances,the preparations for inter-collegiates, the cutting chais,the ccd partys... the fasts before every performance...the barefoot performances...Sir's small treat after every performance...to my last day in college & at "tuning forks"....
i sincerely wished if only for one more time i could see abhi on the synth, rahul on the guitar, akash on the tabla, nandu on the octopad , amit on the drums, me on the lead & Sir with his hand on my head saying "beta ashich gaat raha" ...
music will remain with me forever...but the medium that let me experiment with it (tuning forks) & the medium the let me exhibit it & won it overwhelming responses(the auditorium) for 5 long years are no more existant..."buildings live"...the masters say...i cudnt understand this better than today...coz today i mourned at the loss of "buildings" as i would have for someone alive...

The song which I will always and forever associate with TUNING FORKS
