I happen to attend a Friday church youth gathering as a regular affair every week. More on that perhaps some other time. Last friday we wound up after dinner and discussions and were listening to some wonderful work on the guitar from Donald (blame it on the Mizo blood) and some amazing vocals from Donald & Rahul. At some point Rahul suggested we head off to the lake (I think its called Pelandur-near HSR layout). Now I must admit that it didnt look anywhere close to the picture on the right. In fact it seems during the day you can see the amount of pollution present. Anyways we parked the car on the deserted road alongside the lake. Construction Cranes at an apartment site far on the left gave an impression of an harbour and planes landing & taking off now & then on the far right created an aloof kind of feeling. And there we were for about an hour and a half, the guitar dancing to Donald's tunes, sweet lilting music into the night air; songs of yesteryears, food for the soul- Simon & Garfunkel, Scorpions, Pink Floyd, Seal, John Denver. The four of us staring into the lake, the moon lighting our faces. hmmmmmm! At some point I did wonder what I was doing here with 3 GUYS, but yeah! the place was not romantic in any sense. I guess it was just the music & the darkness, the moon and the lake and they all came together as we had. It was sad, but we had to leave by midnight and we did promise that we should do this often. But I did thank God for that wonderful time, for friends, for talents & for just plain good old happiness.
