Undisputed Champs!!!

WE WON THE SCHOOL ROCK!!! NOW WE ARE THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONS OF KOLKATA!!

We are officially the best school band in Kolkata and we've managed to keep the legacy of the Xaverian band since Wayne and Vishal, only too well!! What's more, we even beat others by a huge margin!!
It was a huge crowd in Don Bosco grounds, and a s usual Xavier's came with a huge contingent to cheer!! That's us for you!

We came face to face with Fossils and Aasma, and saw them perform also, up close. Fossils are true rockers, but they should refrain from doing english covers. And Aasma, well, they were our judges after all!! ;-D

PS:- We played Stairway to Heaven, (after I picked up the flute part) and man, did it sound good with Moinak and Mark!!!

Photo shoot with Aasma.

We had a photo shoot with Aasma at Hotel Hindustan International. (PS:- Asma is also my ammu's name, I'll sue them for copyright). It was so dumb. They expected us to mob them, but we didn't even look at them. It was they who asked us stuff. The guys are sick and the girls are dumb. VJ Shruti was also there, Dev called her sandpaper face.

Why does it always rain on me?!! and Rono's B'day.

No but this is serious!!!! It rained before I went to Darjeeling , It rained all the time in Darjeeling, and now AGAIN it's raining SO HARD that it's FLOODING Kolkata!!!
But I love it when it rains, It brings me good luck!! The lockgates of God's mercy seem to have burst.

Anyway, it was Rono's B'day today at CC&FC . I've never had so much meat in my life!! We had fish fry, chilly beef, beef kabab, chicken reshmi kabab, malai kabab, mutton burra kabab. Whew, that was about 1.5 kgs of pure meat!! Rounak Das beat that!! Better keep the lax ready! ;-D

What indignation!!!

This is the last straw!!! Today we performed for the first time in school and we had guitars switched off, no mics and we we're allowed to play only ONE SONG!!! And we sounded horrible!! The people will think that this is the band that wins so many accolades!!! I mean come on, even La Martiniere didn't do this to us!!

Therefore as a mark of protest, we refused to play again for the VI, VII and VIIIs, and probably will not play for our farewell too.

The Prelims!!

We qualified for the prelims of Times Of India School Rock!!! And would you believe it, we were the ones with the highest marks, an unofficial first!!! Now we get to perform with 4 other qualifiers viz. St. James, CA School Salt Lake, GD Birla, AG Tollygunge. Unfortunately, Don Bosco and La Martiniere Boys could n't make it inspite of being good. (We'll miss our "pals" !
;-D).
We played "Livin' a lie" , Vishal's composition and the unofficial Xaverian anthem, this time with the bridge!!

PS:- They took our photo for the front page of Champ, theit School paper, but I just left 5 minutes before!!! DAMN!

I (we) am (are) back!!!

I returned from Darjeeling only yesterday. Some papers have been given out inschool, while some have not. Dev, my band's drummer, told me that we have been asked to play in the Times Of India School Rock fest. On top of that, we'll have to perform in school for teacher's day, the belated celebrations of which are being held on the 6th. Here we go again, the SXC band is back!!!
