Well, as the subject line reads, i am really on the lookout for a bright sunshine to come into my life. Big times for Dark Project, as we move from strength to strength. Last Sunday we played at the Opus Bangalore. You can count the number of bands that have played there from Kolkata. I had promised the band and we did it. Pub Rock Fest is on Saturday Night in Kolkata. I am flying from Bangalore on Friday afternoon for it. I shall hit back to Bangalore on Sunday evening and i have a team outing to take care of on Monday. PRF is one of the biggest platforms to play for any band and we are no exceptions. It's so very true that the idea of Rockstars has a different meaning in the country. We are normal human beings, going about our day to day lives. We don't dope neither we are a drunkard. I make sure that in every show we play, we are as closer to the audience as possible by keeping our feet to the ground. Actually, the Rockstar attitude will not work in this country for the next few years to come. Idolizing bands, worshiping them in what they do is still to arrive in our country where the only stars are the ones living in the tinsel town called Bollywood.
I have really busy days ahead of me, considering that we have radio shows after this and then we are off to Mumbai to play a couple of gigs. Considering that i have full liberty from my office in doing all these extra cirriculars, i am really thankful for the co-operation my managers have shown. If you are a girl reading this, then you might understand the fact already that my life misses the word called "Stability". Yet this is the age to take it all and drain it all...I hope that the good gods would be kind to me.
Alls said and done, the focus now is for this Saturday. I don't want to risk the show by any chance and hence getting myself fully geared for it. We have to work on an acoustic set as soon as this show gets over for the radios. I think that missing piece in Dark Project, reference to Live gigs, is finally falling into place...I hope i am personally able to survive this onslaught both physically and mentally...After all, i am not a Rockstar yet :)!
