The Floydian legacy

A long deified path on my way towards churchgate station after office, my mind was already consumed with many things all dealing work, future and my life. I had been through a trauma and stress at work and daily routine had swallowed me completely. Longing for a good weekend, as I spoke to my cousin and he invited me at his place in Seawoods (one place I love in Mumbai) for spending weekend with him.

I was delighted as ever since no one really make any attempt to call-up and bother me, as I don’t call-up bother anyone, my cousin thought of spending a weekend! And I was on one feet to visit his place, thinking about the fried fish and chilled beer and nothing else but Floyd.

I bluffed Aji as usual as she plans wired house-hold work for me on weekends. She is really good at convincing and getting things done, but not this time I said…
I rushed early at his place, we had a good time in the afternoon watching couple of movies and the fun began in the night when the mehfil was set with hot-fried-fish, chilled beer pint and lovely music at the back. “Careful with That Axe, Eugene” was the first number from Pink Floyd's Ummagumma, followed by some of the greatest Gilmore’s hits. Then was a song “The Scarecrow” I love that number, “Sorrow”,”Shine on you..” and Roger Waters “Dark Side of the Moon”. In between, I heard “Comfortably Numb”, the song has something in it, it reminds me of Sam and good-old Datacomp (previous organization) days as I felt that I was not in the room and lost somewhere in past or another world, couldn't figure out. The same feeling I had when I heard “When the smoke is going down” in Scorpions concert which was the last song of the concert (video on ritwik.vox.com).
I supposedly am a big fan of Pink Floyd and I love their songs, they have become a part of my life, and nothing like fish, beer and Floyd. The Floyd songs reminds me of all my past right from my school-days, my arrogant teachers, memories with my friends and a lot.
