Oh happy memories are occupying my mind when i write this post and for everyone when they think of their COLLEGE DAYS.
When i step in to my college(Manakula Vinayagar Engg College, Pondicherry) i found there was no culturals or no college band. The college management had no idea on culturals and more over had a great opinion that its waste of time. Since i was admired already by Pecofes and Spandan i wished my college should have one. But at first i need a Band..i was completely lost till i met my friend Ravi who is not a great drummer but had once sat on the drums. Our common dreams made us friends and we jointly took care on the arrangements of anything related to the band. We then joined with my Friends Anto , Manikandan(My Business partner too) , Jerin George and others... and formed a band which literally bit the dust on Pecofes 2000 ....Well therereafter the scene changed, we sincerely started practicing(learnt)and formed a better band. After many struggle the management agreed for the culturals and even sponsored for us for our inter college participation. We are happy that we initiated the culturals in our college which is still happening. Later we won the third place in Pecodes 01...that was great boost to us...
Late 2002 , it was the time our "untitled" college band was in a full throttle. We selected tough, challenging songs the following year and performed well and won the first Prize in all the competitions we competed...... Some of them are Pecofes,Karaikal Eng College Culturals, Spandan, Chengalpet Medical College etc..
Some of My band Members are
Anto(Rhythm pad)
Manikandan(Bass Guitar)
Ravi(Drums)
Bindhya(Guitar)
Gerin George (Keyboard)
Prasad (tabla)
Sri krishnan,Renju Thomas, Thushara, Prakash, Bala chander, Kamal Raj, karunakaran (singers)and many more (sorry if i have missed anyone)
The above photo was taken in 2002 when harris jeyaraj had just completed Minnalae. We participated in Prism 2k2, an inter college competition organized by my friend Vivek. The show was inaugurated bu Nataka (Studio desinger and guitarist of rahman)
Harris Jeyaraj presided over the function and handed over the first prize to our BAND.
Those days are memorable,happy, worry less...I wish i have a TIME MACHINE now
