METAL GIGS

I knew that my night was about to be metallised as i stepped out of the car and looked at the frantic crowd outside the pub waiting desperately to dive into the ear deafening genre called  "METAL"

I bought myself the passes and was ready to get annihilated by the dormant crowd and the blackness of the encompassing. As i was approaching closer to the root of all disturbance, the music which seemed unbearable in the beginning started to define and reshape itself. The arid smell of smoke and liquor filled my lungs.The heavy double bass drum beats started to take over my body. It superimposed in such a manner with my heartbeat as if they were no longer different entities. The thundering guitar riffs along with the drums were like death had come to give a fatal blow to the human race and eradicate the entire race. It was chaos all over the place. When i finally reached the main room where the inducers of all this were creating havoc with their instruments i realized that even midst this chaos their music had all the consonance and the correct rhythm (which is really really fast and complex to keep up). 

I found myself a place where i could enjoy the music and also not get sucked in the MOSH-PIT. Those who are not aware of the word MOSH-PIT let me tell you what it is. Mosh-pit is an action performed by a group of people in the crowd where they go demented by the metal music and want to express themselves physically. It usually occurs in the breakdown part of the song or in the guitar solo part. It usually starts off just before the break-down where the people involved try to converge to  a point and push each other not HIT. Many people have this mis-conception that in a mosh pit a person is supposed to hit others but that's not true, one has to push not hurt others.

The bands came and left but all delivered the same message in the end which is the truth of life packed with a beautiful "METAL" covering. The energetic crowd were drenched in perspiration as the show came to it's end but still the We-Want-More attitude clearly reflected on their faces. It was one of the best night i ever had and with a smile i walked out of the pub and took the route 666 and vanished again in the city to play my role in the best drama known as "LIFE". 

I personally believe that metal music has the power to either build your world and give you infinite strength or destroy your world and make you the biggest pessimist with lonely attitude. It all depends on how you take the music! By the way Happy new year   :) 

Changes

Hey friends, as you guys have already noticed this is my first blog and the title I chose is "Changes". You must be wondering why I chose changes and what I want to say about it. Well, the things I want to mention about changes are :-
                               
 1. CHANGE- is it a change after all?
Change is the only thing that's permanent which is contrary to the well known quote "Nothing remains the same". All are subjected to changes with respect to the streamed line flow of time, but "Change" itself is permanent. Changes are important and they help us know better. Yes, I know what you are thinking now. How come changes possibly help us know ourselves better when CHANGE defines anomaly between previous state and the current state, and if there is a variation then it becomes more tricky to know about the subject better. Well, my friends I completely agree with you in this but at the same time I would like to throw light on the fact that there exists a PATTERN in every change. When we talk about simple harmonic motion, it follows periodic motion which means that the motion repeats itself after a fixed interval of time. The bob oscillates from it's extreme position to it's mean position and then back to extreme position which. begins the dance of the bob. The change we thought was a change in fact turned out to be an unnoticed pattern.

2. SEASONAL CHANGE

Everyone knows that the Earth revolves around the sun and it takes 365 and 1/4th of a day to complete its entire revolution. This sophisticated revolution mixed with the wobbling rotation of the Earth makes us see what we call seasons.

Many poets and writers have wrote stupendous work on the first two seasons i.e spring and summer and they all focused in some way or the other on reviving of Earth after the cold and morbid phase of winter.  Flowers starts blooming. The chirping of the birds which was washed away by the winter can again be heard. New leaves starts to dress up the  naked trees. The days starts to get longer. The soothing absorption of vitamin E from the sun. The sweet rise of temperature. The sight of the people who comes out of their home again and starts to build up again what was either destroyed or procrastinated by the winter. All these brings hope in the mind of all but little did we know that the same flower which smiles today, tomorrow would be dying.

 Bienvenue  "Autumn and spring"

The leaves turns yellow and the sun rays falling on the leaves makes it look gilded. The days starts getting shorter and nights getting longer. the crops are sown and the food is saved for the winter. The birds starts building up better nests. The small animals like squirrel and weasels starts collecting food and brace themselves bravely to hold up against the harsh winter. The wind once warm now turns cold falling prey to the seasonal transition. The leaves starts to fall from the trees and slowly and gradually the streets are covered with these dead leaves fallen from the beautiful heights of wonders. Everything starts to become more monotonous and one of the most noticing thing about winter is the DEAD SILENCE.
Silence which becomes louder than thunder and  transforms the once busy and loud streets into a vacant theater where the only sound we can hear is the sound of our breathing resonating within the walls of  the deserted playhouse. But wait! The stage is being set, the curtains are getting drawn, the actors are flooding in, the backstage is filled with the people where music is being created by their footsteps. Et voila! It's the Spring knocking at the door and the cycle repeats. 

So, this is the classical example of the change we can see around us how the changes turned into a cycle and the same changes repeats itself after every year. 

I guess you understood the concept what i'm trying to dissipate that changes in fact are patterns which we have to understand and accept rather than running away from it. I want to end my post by writing a small line from the song A change if seasons - Dream Theater 

"Seasons change and so can I, hold on boy, No time to cry, Untie this strings I'm climbing down I won't let them push me way"
