Yipee ..... (part 2)


If you are my regular blog reader (which I do not expect from anyone) or if you are knowing me personally, you must be knowing about my love for music. I would not hesitate to say that music is my first (and only) love & probably in this recession time, if required, it can also be my alternative profession :-). Well, just to mentain my stature I may not go in trains and all for playing & getting money :-) but I may join some rock band or something like that. No no no. I am not day dreaming. Neither I had loose my job. All I want to say is, there are people who does this. People who quits their job to pursue their career in their field of passsion -Music. Jee haan. They quit their job. In fact, recently I have met one such kind of guy. Named, Rajeev Rajagopal. He quitted his high paying techie job just to pursue his career in his field of interest -music. To introduce him in a better way, he is a drummer of Bangalore's famous & India's best band Thermal And A Quarter (TAAQ for impatients).

Rajeev was used to work for same company where I am serving right now. I was unaware of his presence (obviously). One day my colleague and me were talking about some thing and than he said me about this guy, Rajeev. At that time I was like, "Ho ga yaar koi. Aise to bahot saare log hua karte hai drum bajane wale". It was than he said, "he is drummer of Bangalore's rock band TAAQ". I was shocked !!! I felt down (safely) from my chair.

Immediately I expressed my feeling to meet Rajeev and as I had said earlier, I met him. I talked with him. I shook hands with him. I asked questions to him. But I forgot to wish him :-(. What to do. I was out of my mind and I was so much excited. And probably that is why I forgot. No probs. I got his mail ID from my colleague and wished him all the best later on (Something is better than nothing, Is not it?).

Well, till this time I am sure you are also too much excited to know about TAAQ and Rajeev and all that stuffs. Probably few of you impatience pals may already have started googling on those words before finishing reading my post. I know you and that is why to kill your excitments below are more links realted to TAAQ. Enjoy and do support it. Because you never know, to mark "Perform in a rock band" item as done in my bucket list, tomorrow I may also be on that stage.
