Keyboard vs Guitar #3

@Eeshan : See...my objective in "my" prev post was not to start a war or battle. It was just to help everybody realize that the sound of piano cannot be neglected just for the coolness of the guitar. I totally agree to your point that an instrument cannot compete with others, but i have got a few people reading my blog posts who have claimed that a guitar is anyday better than the piano and one doesn't need a keyboardist in a rock band. That was my answer to all of 'em.

Keyboard vs Guitar

Which one is it?
Which one of 'em makes listening to music more pleasant? Is it the strumming sound of the guitar or is it the soothing melody of the piano keys?
True, that rock music mainly means the grunging sound of the electric guitar with the strumming of the orthodox acoustic guitar but...doesn't the sweet sound of piano make it all the more better? Well, to some like me, yes it does..but to most of the youth today...sadly, it doesn't. They think rock music starts and ends with guitar, bass and drums...nothing else.
People need to be rekindled that music was first made and heard on pianos only. Beethoven, Mozart...every founder and developer of music did it through the black and white keys.
And I am not saying it because I am a keyboard player myself...I am saying it because I am a MUSIC lover...not only a rock lover.
If you don't agree with me, try listening to music unbiased..and you will start agreeing with me.

Virender Sehwag - 319!!!!!

What a knock! Twenty20 style batting in Test Cricket! But...was it good enough to get the hype its receiving? One look at the track, i.e. pitch, and another look at the South African bowling that day is enough to tell you that it isn't. It was a good exhibition of the prowess of Viru but I am afraid to say, it wasn't as good a batting exhibition as it was made to look. Had Dale Steyn bowled the kind of deliveries that day like he bowled the next day, Virender Sehwag might not have crossed 100-150. His dismissal in the first innings of the second test just proves it. Give him good tracks and he isn't half as consistent as his averages show him to be. His test average of 53 is due to the huge knocks in Multan (309) , on a Lahore pitch(254) on which maybe Ashish Nehra would have made a few runs & on a flat Chepauk track (319). The newspapers said neither Sachin Tendulkar nor Sunil Gavaskar had as good an average as Sehwag has after 92 innings. I salute their audacity!!!! Somebody please go tell those idiots that when Sachin was playing his first 50-60 tests, there wasn't a concept of "flat" tracks. There were quite a few tracks which were good for batting, but no pitch was as flat and dead as the tracks on which Sehwag has made those huge scores. I don't think I need to go to Sunil Gavaskar's era where every pitch was either bouncy or had lots of turn. I think, after this knock, Sehwag would play for at least 10-12 more tests even if he scores 0 in every innings. That's how Indian cricket runs.
Unfortunate...but true.

Done and Dusted!!!!!!

Boards. Wearing the school uniform. Representing the school.
With an absolutely awesome exam came the end of my schooling life. Sob...never will I be able to get back again. I will miss all of it, especially representing my school.
But a few words about my C++ exam. Fantastic is the word. So far, no mistake has been found and god-willing, none will be found henceforth. A 100 will be a perfect answer to a certain Mrs Shally Arora, our 'honourable' teacher who commented, "Sarthak, you will never be able to get gud marks in C++". With me being sure of a 95+, i think a good answer is in the offing. To be honest, I am content with my boards. I mean, after a 40% 3 months back, I am expecting 85%. I give myself a pat on the back.
Now starts the tough time. The time to show people what I've got. Time to demonstrate my mettle. I hope and pray that I will be successful.

Bored

Bored. Sick. Tired.
Those are the words which best describe me right now. Bloody hell! I am writing codes since 2 days and still not getting 'How to sort an array'!!!! Then there are 'Linked Lists' and 'Stacks n Queues'!!! These three things have absolutely got on my nerve. Add to it the atrocious quality of the book 'C++ by A.K.Sharma' . I mean, in the algorithm, a is supposed to be less than b...but in the code, b is supposed to be less than a! U refer to that book and u are screwed! I just hope the questions are easy. I cant wait fr 2mrw...i mean 31 days of boards is a bit too much.

Updates

Yeah. Added a muzik page to my site. I feel good. Finally my musik is out for downloads. Go ahead, catch a bit.

Hope it IS musik to yer ears.

Wet?

Yeah..
Neone's phone can be...
Ane1's IpoD can be...
or for the matter, any kinda electronic device.
What happen's if yu drop that new HTC P3470 into your mug o' beer? Not a prob. Digital Inspitation's here with the remedy. All U need is a bowl of rice. Drop the gadget into rice overnight. battery OutsiDe the thing, if possible. Not always effective, but doesn't fail most times.
So.. Care about swim with your Ipod on?


Well, I don't take responsibility if you try it to est it, and nut-bolt it up.

Hmm...Mr Cook!

@ Eeshan : Dude at least tell us at which restaurant did you have that outrageous kinda biryani. Congrats regardin ur Maths paper.

Friday, March 21, 2008

Bir-(eeee!)-Ya-(niii....)

The Word. I had the worst possible Biriyani for dinner yesterday. No shorba. That place dosen't even know what shorba is. Huge peices of Alooooo. Potato that is. No Jaiphal, no Kewra either.
and, it had an EGG.
Incriminating. Just that I pride myself as a cook, I do deserve better.
Sad. Bad. I'm so out of politically correct adjectives.
Sorry to me.
Sob.

Maths++

Maths... Incremented. That's what it was. Not a thing this board paper had, to throw at me. You know, I actually feel angry. I have been burning my backside off for months on this subject, and what I am asked is:

f(x)= x+7
g(x)= x-7
What is (fog)(7)

Problem is, These CBSE people don't have their priorities right. Just like all the HOTS questions from Maths, (and maybe English too..) seemed to have their presence felt in the Physics Paper. Screwed up a 1 marker though. And maybe forgot to change the limits in a question. I guess 96-97 is on the cards. Not Bad. I give myself a pat on the back. The Physics blunder has been made up for.
Period.
Signing off.

Maths Board Exam

Hmm, well...easy...quite easy...but still the expectation of 'just' 93 doesn't really satisfy me. I know in my heart that I could have got more..much more..say about 97-98 had I studied a li'l more...ya i knw you all must be thinking that a cliche...but hey, thats true! 90% looks a bygone dream...but I think jumping from 55% to 85% in a month is not that bad. Lets see, its all the almighty's hands. But can anyone please tell me how to solve this.... [ (0-1) cot^-1 (1-x+x^2) dx ] I was absolutely flabbergasted when I saw this question and this is THE only ques that I have got completely wrong. And to worsen the matter, in lieu of this question, other sets had...viz. log(sin x) and (tanx^1/2 + cotx^1/2) ...wow!!! Still, no excuses...I will get as per I deserve...well, I hope to.

Chords

Hey ppl, as I am a music freak, there has to be a touch of music in my blog. So, I'll be posting chords of some good, popular tracks...hope u enjoy!
So, all the keyboardists..this is ur place to be!

MUSIC

As I play the synthesizer, I will be posting things that interest me on music nd especially synthesizers...nd I will request all of you to fill the guestbook when you visit this blog nd to help me out with my posts. So, I guess I have written enough considering that its the first day of my blog nd that tomorrow is my Mathematics Board Exam!!

KOLKATA "Knight Riders"

Hmmm, a big...nd i mean reaaly big launch of the team by its owner Shah Rukh Khan. With all the moolah coming in and all the paperazzi surrounding the team, i really hope that this team from my homeland does shine in the Indian Premier League. Although its a good team, but i guess relying too heavily on a certain Ricky Ponting might cost them a few matches as he will leave for the tour of West Indies in this season nd he will be irregular in the next two seasons. Well, i guess the basic info of the team is all what u can have right now until the competition starts.

PHYSICS BOARDS EXAM

Well, where the hell was that paper from??!!!!!! It had the students out of their wits and gazing haplessly at their question papers. I as it is dreaded the physics exam nd those 15 mins from 10.15 to 10.30 almost scared the shit outa me! It was only after a li'l bit of thinking and logical reasoning that I was able to do most of them. Shit man! wanted to get somewhere in the 90s, now I am afraid I will end up somewhere in the early 80s! I would really like to know who the hell made that paper. With chemistry also seeming like yielding a 85 or so, my dreams of a 90% looks to be close to over unless the Maths exam tomorrow is unusually easy and i get 95+. sob..sob..
