Straight from the heart of a bathroom singer

Being a member of our college band, I've performed quite a few times. As rhythm guitarist I've always been standing near the drummer or the piano guy in our band (Well @ COEP stage, guitarists have fixed corners to stand :P). Looking at the singer from there is something that really could make you feel jealous! Also I've been wanting to sing at-least one song on the stage in front of the fully packed auditorium since long...(That day will surely come, I hope :) ). When I hear the "once more" shouts from the audience my desire to sing just quadruples every-time. Well, this desire of mine has been thumping me since my school days.

Thats when I actually began to practice my singing skills, well it all started from within the bathroom walls. Bathroom is the place where you get the perfect echo, the perfect reverb and your voice simply seems magnificent. Thats the place where you gather your motivation the most. That divine voice of yours in there shows you so many colourful dreams. So you try to sing better and better and apply all your concentration on the amelioration of your unpolished talent.

When you are totally engrossed in singing that favorite Ronan Keating or John Mayer or Elvis song of yours, when your voice sounds as good as anyone of them, when you close your eyes and visualize crowd of thousands of people applauding you, clapping hands and cheering with fullest exuberance, when you feel that fire within yourself, when you feel that feeling of fulfillment from within, when all this happens, suddenly the drums go wrong, the guitar strings get un-tuned, the piano looses its magic suddenly... you shake your head, come out of that divine state and realize that the person in the next bathroom is the one who did all this by singing that "Kala kaua" song! Such a disaster that is! Such a frustration that is! I call these foolish non-humans the enemies of Saraswati, the goddess of art and music.

The experience of being intruded is not always that bad, sometimes you are joined along with another "pro" bathroom singer. The jamming that goes along is a marvelous experience. The music of that splashing water and the beating bucket is a icing on the cake. All this along with the optimal temperature water showering all over you is absolutely maddening! Simply terrific! Only the ones who have experienced this can understand the true joy of this!

So to all my friends who love bathroom singing! Go ahead... juice it up! Enjoy yourself! Do it and do it like a "pro"!
