The Symby Rockers !!!!

My guitar in the college days:

In my college days (2002-2005)... an electric guitar would have been the most priceless gift I could ever expect from anyone cos we had formed a rock band and twas the first official band of Symbiosis Computer faculty. Though we could indeed grow and master oursleves to come up to some national level, we performed at our best levels in various places in Pune for competitions and Inter Coll-Fests. Those days were too BEAUtiful with the whole bunch of people from our class and other batches jumping up and down like chimps (kiddin) on the canteen tables and chairs, holding guitars and singing (literally screaming). Most of the requests were for the numbers like "Hotel California", "Summer of 69" and other best of Bryan Adams and some rock n rolls of Cliff Richard.

About the Band Members:

The "lead guitarist" of our band, Avishek is a Nepali national and now in US pursuing his Masters in Info. Sys, the "vocalist", Satish aka Jammy from Jamshedpur, is now in Bhuvaneshwar, Orissa busy with his Masters in Computers from Kalinga University. My good old friend and "Rythem-Strummer" Sean a localite, is still in Pune working with HSBC.... lucky guy. Uday aka UD again a localite doing his part on the keyboards is now in Pune, working with this company called "Tietoenator" as a .Net Developer. And Rixon the drummer, the cousin of Avishek... theres no news from him. And myself Jimson, basically a Kerelate, having spent more than 15 yrs of my life here and Pune being my true home, I was on the "Strumming+Base+vocal support". Now I'm in Mumbai getting used to its hectic lifestyle, working as a Network Engg with "Infomark Technologies"

Though the tastes have changed by now, its long time since we've performed together. I'm now into gospel and country music. But then we are hoping for the best, for a reunion-concert in the days ahead. Anyways, a home coming for a break, I think is a must.

For Just a Moment !!!!

The lyrics of the song played in the background
Love Theme from "St. Elmo's Fire" - (For Just A Moment)
David Foster
Written by David W. Foster and John Stephen Parr

We laughed...
untill we had to cry,
and we loved,
right down to our last goodbye.
We were the best;
I think we'll ever be.
Just you and me...
For just a moment.

We chased,
that dream we never found.
And sometimes,
we let one another down.
But the love we made,
made everything alright.
We shone so bright...
For just a moment

Time goes on...
People touch and then they're gone.
And you and I,
will never love again,
like we did then...

Someday, when we both reminisce...
we'll both say...
There wasn't too much we missed.
And through the tears,
we'll smile when we recall,
we had it all,
For just a moment

Time goes on...
People touch and then they're gone.
But you and I,
will never really end.
We'll never love again,
like we did then.

We laughed until we had to cry...
And we loved right down to our last goodbye......

This is a wonderful Song I came across; A Louis Armstrong song

F Am Bb Am
I see trees of green, red roses too
Gm7 F A7 Dm
I see them bloom, for me and you,
Db Gm7/C C7 F / F+ / Bbmaj7 / C7 /
And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world (F / Bb / / / F /)

C7 F
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
C7 F
Are also on the faces of people goin' by
Dm C Dm C
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
Dm F#dim7 Gm7 F#dim7 Gm7 C7
They're really saying, "I love you." I hear

Babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know,
And I think to myself what a wonderful world(F / Am7b5 / )

Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Nostalgic Memories..... !!!!

2007-06-27T11:05:00.000-07:00

Its highly nostalgic to describe the beginning way back in the year 2002...... I still remember the first day of college, and the remarkable English lecture of Ms. Anju. The intro-session, smiles, giggles, chuckles, and real BIG laughters in the classroom.

The time when we always had a reason or two to smile, the time when we all got to know each other; it was all just BEAUtiful...

Most of us loved music and that was how we all got to know each other even better. Jamy, myself and Sean often sang together and played guitar almost everywhere in the campus; class-rooms, canteen, staircases, corridors, parking lots and of course not to mention even in the 'wash-rooms' he he he..... later on, Avishek got introduced and he turned out to be a rock-specialist and our mentor.

We often practiced together at his room. I still remember how almost twice or thrice in a week we always rocked up the entire canteen and how our seniors danced with us...

Guys.... those were the best days; and infact they are.... for them who are SymBytes.

Cheeeeers !!!!!
