Yesterday i was sitting alone and scribbling on my notebook....this poem came out all of a sudden..
Early life parents ask u what u want 2 b when u grow up
You say smiling may be doctor or engineer
While spelling the 2 words u never give a thought
That being any of them will cost you loads of tear
You grow up expectations rise
And people stop calling you wise
You regret your decision of throwing the carrier dice
By 15 you find Yourself surrounded by books
And games and fun are out of your loops
They keep on scolding u for their sake of reputation
And you kill yourself working for their made ambition.
You die once, twice and don’t know how many times
But the destination thing is not suiting your rhymes
You come to a notion I could have rather been a writer or a cricketer
But the days passed by leave you in a place as only a regreter
Still after completing all their dreams you find yourself in half way
As many have crossed you when u were regretting the chosen way
You are a grown up now, u get married
Responsibilities suppress you and the things are taken hurried
The whole life runs around you and plays with you makes you dance
And poor you just beg around for ONE MORE CHANCE…..
I HOPE U LIKE IT...

FORMATION OF NIMBUS
People keep on asking me about how this band came into existence.
here is the story behind it...
It was a sunny afternoon sitting in the garden we were practicing for the Annual function solo singing audition. Me and my beloved friend Abhi were busy practicing our songs. He was trying hard to fix his chords with the song “BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS” and I was busy setting my key on “PEHLI NAZAR ME”….
A few hours later audition started. We both delivered our best and earned appreciation from the crowd listening us. I was satisfied with my performance so was he (Abhi). We both got rejected eventually in the audition. We lack in classical training I agree. But they rejected us by giving a lame excuse like we both took Atiff aslam and a Videshi song which din’t suit their ears. We decided to boycott the Annual function as our dream to perform in front of the college crowd was shattered.
But on the eve of the annual function a thought haunted me “Why am I being unfair 2 my fellow friends who are performing? They want me there to cheer them up!” I made up my mind and attended the function.
I met Abhi who was standing at a corner. I don’t know what made him come to function? may be the same thought as of mine or some ARCHI chick he was infatuated to. We were enjoying the function and “AAL WZZ WELL” in 3 idiots style I must say. The main part came in front of us. The Solo singers sang their songs one by one. A classical musical trauma was subjected on the young crowd. I don’t know some people must have enjoyed the MUSICAL ATYACHAAR. But 70% were bored rigid as my eyes counted the people yawning on their seats. Abhi tapped me on my shoulders and said “Man the scenario would have been different if me or you would have been on stage”. I was numb, the thought of being thrown out was exasperating and Abhi was adding salt to it by saying that I was having potential.
The evening ended with Anunaad the rock band performing in front of us. And the idea of forming a rock band clicked us.
The thought was not so easy to be applied in real life. It required a handful of funds. We tried to persuade our parents for the Rock thing. They scolded and forced us to concentrate on studies. Although I remember the great lines from Abhishek Sarkar that “ You ought to have pain in ass, to gain some cash”. Abhi sold his N72 mobile and I embezzled some money from my hostel mess account. We got our first GIVSON –BLUE BIRD GUITAR which I call the foundation of NIMBUS.
Indu joined us and we felt complete as the shortage of the percussionist debacle many budding bands.
To earn for various other gadgets we started performing in various hotels and pubs. The take-home pay counted us to make a full fledged band with Abhishek Khare(Abhi), Indubhushan roy, Akash mishra who is later replaced by Sudipto Sarkar ;and Abhinav gupta later replaced by Debpriya Acharya.
And NIMBUS was launched on 29Th September 2008 in Bhilai.
