It took me roughly one and a half hour to think of a witty and interesting title and an extra half hour to think of an apt way to start the first article in my blog. Writing a blog was among my many new year resolutions for this year which got delayed by 11 months, but better late than never right?
This year has been a very good one for me, i finally bought a guitar(after months of saving up), scored really well in my papers, made new friends, etc etc. you know the routine. Music has been a constant since the past few years and few of the most beautiful things that happened to me this year revolve around music, the first one being finally managing to buy my bass guitar after months and months of saving up + help from mom and a few of my relatives(Big thanks). I somehow taught myself to play the guitar(the basics at least) big thanks to a friend who lent me one for almost a year, saved money every way i could(although honestly speaking i could have saved more had it not been for the tasty Misal Pav served near my college), studied hard and scored well so that my parents could give me more $$$. I don't like to boast but i have to admit i feel proud of myself for the amount of hard work i put in to buy something that i wanted way before i became completely immersed in music. I have fond memories(and photos) of moments where i air-guitared to any song that was on the radio when i was little, now imagine how i might have felt when i finally bought a bass, oh yeah the feeling was surreal, fantasizing about something for over 10 years and finally owning one, it is a once in a lifetime moment.
Now i like to believe that i matured as a person, i don't know if anyone reciprocates those thoughts, but i certainly feel like i can take important decisions in life without succumbing to pressure from friends or family and expressing my thoughts independently irrespective of any mocking i receive while doing the same. I also watched a lot of movies which helped me in more ways than i thought it would and in this process Tyler Durden(Fight Club) became my favorite movie character of all time and i honestly believe there is a Tyler Durden hidden in each one of us somewhere, trying to break out.
Friends have been a very important part of my life this year, more than ever. I cannot think of enough ways to thank them for being there for me and bearing those moments(if any) when i have been unreasonable and annoying. I have always received help when i wanted, right from lending a guitar for almost a year to making college a bearable place to be in, oh yes i cannot imagine how boring college would have been if it were not for a few friends i made there. I would also like to thank my parents who have always loved me unconditionally.
Now i don't want this to sound like my Nobel Prize acceptance speech so i will save the thanking for later, anywho this is where i end my first article in this blog which i hope will be viewed by someone.
Note:-
The Blog title Until Eternity Ends is the name of an EP by one of my favorite bands Edge of Sanity, the name appealed to me since the words Eternity and End contradict each other and yet beautifully fall in place together, however the correct interpretation of the Phrase Until Eternity ends can be thoroughly understood only by an intellectual or Dan Swano himself(same thing).
And as for the username nerdtallica, nerd is a word which is often associated with me, however i am far away from the stereotypical definition of a nerd. And well, i happen to be a Metal fan and Metallica is one of my favorites, plus the word nerdtallica rolls out of your mouth unlike Nerdadeth or Nerder or Nerdon Maiden or Nerd Priest or Nerdodus or Nerd Assault(which is a good name but i am not a Nuclear Assault fan at least till now).
