yet another saturday?..what was i thinking???

13/12/08 Saturday
Wait! its just another Saturday...that's the morning spirit  i get up with realising that the day is going to be filled with laziness boredom and long hours in front of the tv eating junk and calling friends over to do the same.(company matters :) ).. so i get up all lethargic and walk straight towards the tv and sit there flipping through channels yawning away to glory,while the rest of my family has had their breakfast and are doing their daily chores...so here i was watching the trailer of sharukh khan's new movie(rab ne banadi jodi) while half the day was already over! so i had my bath and sat down to check my profile status on all the social networking sites and my mail.. i eat my lunch with my family and then decide to watch pirates of the Caribbean at worlds end.. so at 345 or so my dad comes in from work and tells me -"listen buddy we're heading for a concert now! and YOU are coming with us"!...What??! was my expression initially and then i realize i don't have anything else to do,and a concert is not gonna hurt.. so here i am guessing that this is yet another concert by some random person throwing comical expressions synchronised with melody..since this concert is organised by my aunt and her partner(charsur digital workstation) she greets all the listeners with a brief welcome note and introduces the artists.. while all this is going on i take a quick glance at the audience.There were people of very high celebrity status,relatives,rasikas or fans of carnatic music and me.. now i am going to be honest in saying that i like carnatic music but i cannot listen to it always.! though my family is highly educated in the field of music and are die hard fans.. i am not.. well anyways.. here is this artist playing the piano and giving a lecture demonstration and i simply couldn't believe what i was hearing tho i did not bother on what he was saying the music he played was simply superb.. i was in a complete pleasant state of mind and the music was transporting me to a world of bliss.. now i felt like i was this huge ferocious giant that can be put to sleep only if a magic harp is played..this music was my harp..now i don't know about black magic or voodoo but i do believe in this music.. the  guy was just too good! he was playing on the instrument like it was water, moving his fingers effortlessly as if his hand was made of butter..so after the concert as usual our family heads to eat at a nice hotel and with our tummies full and our eyelids half open we retire for the day hoping that tomorrow will be a better day..while i lie down staring at the ceiling dozing off..somewhere in the back of my head i can hear my magic harp putting me to sleep.........
