Music between Nadeem Shravan

This is my first post here although it has been a few months since this storybook came into being. Was I being sceptical to lend my thoughts here? Or was I waiting for the opportune moment? Or was I being plain lazy? Whatever… now that I am here finally, I better make it worth the while.

Friends, we all know that the pride of place in any circus is its brass band. All action happens under its nose. Our circus too has a rock band. Here are some clues to our rockstars: 1. The lead singer has a gift of four-letter gab; and they come out of his lips in lyrical form, effortlessly (of course, it is not music to the female ears).
2. The lead guitarist used to be Santana but now he plays the second fiddle in the band.
3. They have a bouncer too, a menacing-looking nigger, with a shift of gab — often pronounces Shaving Cream as Saving Karim.

(I am sure you have found the switch to the light)

But this post has little to do with either of the three mentioned above. The space here belongs to the fourth member — the pom-pom girl of the band, one with a sing-song voice and a recently-developed attitude.

Last heard, Mr Pom-Pom Girl is DYING to have a girlfriend. However, with the company he is keeping (or is it the company which is keeping him?) chances are that dying may come sooner than a girlfriend. Mr Sing-Song too knows this and gets pantsy each time the Lead Singer gives him a mouthful in the hearing shot of a female. But what to do? If you choose to stay in the lion's herd for a large share in a circus, you will have to jump the fire-ring too.

Currently in Bangalore, Mr Sing-Song claims he is the only one doing the dirty job, day in and day out. The other rock stars merely drink and abuse. Ramzaan has made thing worse — no food, lots of work and unlimited abuses. Poor sod got so pissed one fine afternoon that he poured his heart out on G-chat. And it helped since the other end of the chat-thread was held by a female colleague. The outpourings went for over an hour, thanks to a little prod here and there by the lady (let’s call her IM here, for obvious reasons).

Now... let me no longer bore you with such peripheries when you can enjoy it straight from the ass's mouth? I must warn you that it is a long haul, so time it for a leisure reading. Enjoy:
