Dark Project, big name in my college. 2005 they were first seen on stage at The Haldia Institute of technology's riviera. I still remember back then my seniors hugged me and said that this was the best in their 4 year tenure in this college by any amateur band. Well enough fuel to make us fly for a couple of months. We never realized what it meant, just kept one thing and only one thing in our mind. We want to create music and thats it. I was the more enthusiastic guy when it came to short term fame and i think i still am.
Sauvik and Ugyal had been two people with all the patience in the world. I don't know how they manage that even when things go hayware for us. It started off all with 5 + 1 guys. Sauvik, me Ugyal, Baka, chux + Abhishek. We came a long way through. I still precisely remember Anil da's canteen and us chatting over there 2 o'clock in the night. Somedays, we have to go to Nehru for food (if i am not mistaking it with Azad) at the same time. We won't have Baka with us on most of the days, he would prefer going to bed early and would wake up when Ugyal used to go to sleep. We would rather have chacha with us. I seldom remember him and Nandi acompanying us and on somedays we would even find rakesh for company. Chux would always stay late and when i intially saw him, i always used wonder about his gentle and subdude nature. I was again amazed by this guy's temprament and persevarance skills. I still remember him eating 12 bananas at one shot. He was crazy. No need to mention here Sauvik's idea of "counting his omlets" on his site. And that day we almost cleaned his house for the whole day to find out what mess he used to live in.
Abhishek was not the regular guy in the band, he would drop in by to KGP sometimes when i would pester him to come, but i must say that he turned up at every single damn place we played at. (Well we all can only count 3), but then that is on personal note (the last show we played i thought Abhishek wanted to enjoy it badly, so he slept over a drink :D).
I don't know how to contain myself with the influx of memoires in my mind right now, but i am writing this all because today i got a call from Sauvik where in he said "Beggers can't be choosers" after getting back from Some place else. For those who are still unaware, Sauvik and Ugyal went to some place else to get us a show. The manager again defered the dates to thursday to take the final call. I know its tough on my pride, on each and every one's if you share the same thought. I wonder what we have achieved all these years. I still proclaim and i would...that this can be phenomenon with you guys.
I still try to figure out ways to get us all back into the same hut under the same umbrella. I think god has made me so lucky that i can still have the faith till the last moment. I have told this thing to Baka and Abhishek a number of times and i don't feel shy of saying it again, that you guys are the best things that god could give me.
I have never been so very dreamy as i am right now and neither i have felt so inspired ever. Life is all about living your passion (atleast watch Rock on to believe that) and for chux i guess i got a solution to your question which you were asking just days before leaving for US that "You really want a meaning to all this". I hope i didn't sound too emotionally driven, but maybe i am at midnite tonite.
