Pink Floyd Craze

All this time, in my 21 years of life, never had i been bothered to listen to the legendary Pink Floyd, until 4 weeks ago, when i got the whole Pink Floyd discography from Sachin.


I'm a fan i tell you, i'm a fan. A big one, in fact.

It's psychedelic rock. It hypnotizes you into another world so mysterious and strangely engaging you'd feel like the real world around you no longer exists. It brings a whole new level of eargasm.

Syd Barrett left the band after rocking out for only two years due to his deteriorating mental health, was replaced by David Gilmour who by the way, is oh-so-very-sexy, then and even now. Some people may say Syd Barrett was useless and insignificant, being in the band for only those few years in the late 60s, unlike David Gilmour who sustained the band for some 20-30 years after Syd left. But i personally think he's rather significant in Pink Floyd's legacy. Many greatest songs of Pink Floyd were actually written and composed for him, inspired by his fellow members. Syd Barrett is the essence to Pink Floyd's amazing songs.

Syd Barrett

Wish You Were Here. Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Echoes. Comfortably Numb. these are my favourites so  far. It takes forever to listen to all 253 songs, i need more time. lol.


David Gilmour. Too sexy.

This Pink Floyd craze i'm having now ain't going away, i'm sure.



Booooyaka!

Hello folks!

Firstly, let me briefly explain my disappearance since 3 weeks ago.


I had an arm injury from a mini accident which fractured my radius bone, so i had to wear a plaster and an arm sling for some time. So the right arm was on vacation for 3 weeks, hence the inability to blog.

Being a handicapped for 3 weeks was pretty fun though. Here's why :

1. I was exempted from doing any college work. Assignments, lab reports, lab experiments etc.
2. I could go to college empty-handed. (not just because one hand was useless.)
3. I could walk around in practical labs like i own 'em, doing nothing. and not get scolded.
4. I could just stare blankly into professor's face and zone out during lectures cause i didn't have to take notes.
5. I got free meals almost everyday. Yasmin and Hanisah were my top chefs.
6. I got free milk supply from Lutfi. 
7. No work, No studies. So it was vacation for not just my arm, but also my brain.

Now that the cast is off, i've got to get back to work and studies. Sigh. Another part of me is telling me to keep the arm sling on so that i could just bunk classes and internals, you know...just like in first year, except that i WAS really sick in first year. Chicken pox baybeh, chicken pox. You have no idea how tempted i am to bunk first internals again this time. I would be settting a trend - "The First Internals Bunker". How cool is that?

But no, i shall be true to myself. Piles of work, records and studies to catch up on. YES I CAN DO IT.

On a side note, i'm pretty disappointed to have to cancel my Nepal trip with Ellie this coming December. Cause it clashes with internals. Goodbye Nepal. Goodbye Christmas. Goodbye New Year. Goodbye Cafe-hopping. Goodbye Good music. Goodbye Fresh cool breeze. Goodbye mountain people.

I hope i can make it to Nepal next year. Himalayan Blues Festival 2012 in Kathmandu! It'll be a hundred times more awesome than the one in Bangalore.

By the way, i'm now a Twitterer!
