May the chorus be with you....
I’m dreading going up on stage in college cultural on Friday because I can’t imagine singing in front of all those people… I’ve been told I sing decently but I can’t confirm any of that because I’ve only heard myself sing in my head and in my head Lata Mangeshkar comes a distant second… Plus I don’t get to sing in English which I’m most comfortable with and if my singing in Tamil is as bad as my speaking in Tamil, I’ve really got something to worry about…. So I’ve decided to try and imagine the worst case scenario so that maybe I’ll realize it can’t be that bad…
Scene: Friday morning say 1030ish, imagine a stage foggy around the corners (this is a day dream after all) with SVCEians bustling around the place setting things up and getting ready for the least anticipated event of the day (NO I am NOT referring to quiz! This is not about reality… It’s a geeky little teenage girl’s dream), the Light Music vocals. And in the corner is a fabulously attractive yet unbelievably intelligent looking girl about eighteen years old… And next to her is me…Wait I’m going to look at it as a third person. Sort of living outside the box or something… So standing in the corner looking nervous yet confident is our heroine, about to embark on a fabulous adventure, a noble mission even and she steps up... Moving closer to mike, she smiles nervously thinking this can’t be that bad; most people aren’t even paying attention… I’m going to be fine… And then in a breath-taking maneuver that got every eye in the hall looking toward her, she tripped (very gracefully mind!). She shuffled into a standing position smiling sheepishly. Well obviously now everyone’s paying attention…
She decides to do it, to get it over with, to end the hell… “Kannamooochi yenada….enna kanna…..”
Ah hell I can’t think about it any longer. Just going to go ahead with the practicing. Barred everyone at home from coming to the ground floor, where I’ve temporarily moved my headquarters to. A copy of ‘Lord of the Rings’ and my cell phone move downstairs and (voila!) I have a new home…I can only sing when alone… How will I sing on Friday you ask???... Well that’s no one else’s business!!
Nervous about the quiz though… Ramkumar will definitely win but will yours truly make the final? Please please please dear lord!
