Well, the first person I can remember in this category is a girl called KV Swapna, I used to study with in 5th class ( now don't get any ideas! this is not an infatuation story...sorry). I really don't remember too much from that time, but the only thing I remember being impressed was how calm and composed she used to be all the time. It was not that she was shy or less speaking.. its just that she seemed to know how to act in every given scenario. In fact, once I remember, one of my friends and I were making so much noise in the class, the teacher made me sit beside this girl for almost a month so that I can learn to be calm. But after 5th class, their family moved away to some other place and I have NEVER heard of her again. I do not know if she is still the same way but I have ever been trying to develop that quality of serenity and calmness, without too much success, :)
The second person was this guy called Kiran. In my engineering days, I went for aorund 2-3 months to learn keyboard. and obviously i hated practicing those lessons which the tutor gave us. I wanted to learn playing songs right away and impress the hell out of everybody. But i was dependent on somebody to teach me how to play each song ( and that savior was the tutor's son, who could play ANY song on keyboard and guitar). Now after 2-3 months of my joining, this Kiran guy joined. And for some reason we became instant friends. He already knew how to compose songs on his own and I remember asking him why he joined the class then. He just smiled and said, just to learn the "actual" way of playing songs. Anyways, he was the one who kind of inspired me to try and do songs on my own on the keyboard. And after 15-20 days he stopped coming to the class and 1 week after that I also stopped gooing because of exams or something and after that completely left the class. And I have never heard of him again either.
Well, if by any chance either of you two people read this blog, do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to meet you people again. For the rest of you.. happy reading!!
In my next post, I will write about some of the teachers who have influenced me the most. Until then good bye.
