Gibson Through The Lens - Mumbai

Have you ever walked down memory lane in the midst of extremely talented people, I have at least that is what it felt when I entered to see the Gibson Through The Lens exhibition.I haven't seen something so mesmerizing.This was one place I didn't mind spending hours at.When they say they are showcasing the works of the worlds most respected photographers obviously your expecting to see their best work, it is when you see these photographs it is then you realize these are not just some amazing pictures but they are stories. Each photograph has something amazing to say. From Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Jon Bon Jovi,Billy Joe, Bob Marley and many more they featured about 60 prints of legendary musician who left me awestruck.  
The Other People 
I am a 90's kid I have heard these artist and I appreciate their work but for some people it was way more thn that it is when I was interacting with Loy Henriques the Bass Guitarist of the band The Other People I realized it. He told me that seeing those picture refreshed his memories, how each of those artist  have somewhere played a huge part in his life while growing up it is then when it stuck me may be that is the aim of Gibson’s to take us on a time travel where you see these legendary musicians with the best Gibson guitars, every guitar I laid my eyes on only made me want them more.

The second best part of the exhibition  was the band The Other People paying tribute to the Icons a profound performance making the night even better.The best part about these guys is that they know what the crowd wants and they happen to give a personal touch to every song they sing. If you want to understand music and the emotion behind it is said take help form a musician in my case I was helped by the amazing members of The Other People.The amount of enthusiasm which with these guys where talking about each musician, each guitar helped me learn so much.One of my fondest memory came to life at this exhibition the memory of my sister buying me my first ever Gibson guitar.The excitement of holding the guitar for the first time that awesome feeling that I could achieve anything came back to life. The same excitement I could see on Samuel's face from The Other People holding his beautiful Gibson guitar. Similarly when Zarir and Gavin where walking down the exhibition the way they where talking about each artist made me realize that these guys are some kind of artist encyclopedia (the cool edition).
This exhibition sure brought back a lot of emotions to life.

Airport Romance- Chapter three

This is the moment I know I should say something to her something that would make her feel better, but I am out of words. It is so refreshing to see someone who is so in touch with her emotions. “God, here I am telling you my life story and I don’t even know anything about you. So what are you running from?” saying this her switch has worked again, there is a massive smile on her face and the spark is coming back. “I am running from my work, same old boring story.” “It cannot be that bad, what do you work as?” “ I am an actor.” “An actor, I haven’t met one before, are you any good.” “ Decent, I have a few fans here and there.” “Give me you phone.” “Oh okay, here you go.” I am not sure what she is looking for, but I can see her trying to google something. “You call yourself decent? God how many awards have you won?” “I have  a long way to go trust me.” There it is again she knows I am an actor and just like everyone else she is going to act all weird now. ...
