Have been away for a whole 10 days.. hope you remember i mentioned about a visit to an aunt's place.. well that alone cannot mark the reason for my absence.. Suddenly life seems very busy.. I am surprised i dont have time to take my afternoon nap :D ha ha well i've taken up a new online course. well at least something to feel worthwhile.. N not only am i attending this twice a week, 5 hrs a day, we have group study on other days.. feels like im back to school...but again everything is virtual.. wat i mean is on the web.. even my classroom is in my laptop now, hooking me all the more to it..
After my RJ fiasco (i never heard any gud news from them) another new venture ive taken up is vocal music..There is a troupe which performs on stage for some occasions and me and my husband happened to be present on one of their practice sessions.. Stage fright is my next of kin and i could feel my knees wobbling when i was asked to sing.. My whole life i've been afraid of singing on stage.. For all other matters like debates, extempores and speeches, i've never had trouble. But though otherwise i sing well and have taken up official training in Carnatic music, when i step on the stage my voice gets all cracked up and u can feel the churns in my stomach being dispelled out in my voice and wat not.. But now as im growing up(he he) i feel before i reach the zenith and start my journey downhill this is one of the things i would like to successfully achieve. So singing practises are goin on and will let you know whether it all went on well or i ran out thru the back door ;)
I started off impulsively a few days after i reached a new country. But now when i get the hang of it i wish to interact with people on my views. Hence please do leave ur comments :)

You go, girl :)
We should never say it's too late to overcome our stupidest fears (especially those!).
What's the online course you're doing about?
so u've been a busy girl ha Diya? Nice :) I was wondering where u were hehe.
Online course..I wish u all the best in it!
Singing? WOW I love singing! I sing in public sometimes...not pop songs...devotional songs from our prayer centre. And do I even need to tell u abt my Karaoke skills :) Im the Karaoke queen among my friends hehe. I hv a Karaoke machine at home too :)
Dun worry too much abt ppl..when u go on stage, just think one thing...u r singing with ur heart, for someone u love...that way u forget abt all the ppl listening to u.
Good luck!
Keshi.
Diya, hey, welcome back. Hope you're enjoying going back to student-hood :-) even if its only an online student life!
And keep going with the music practice. The more you practice the lesser will be the stage fright! Try practising in front of the mirror or in front of your close friends. That helps too. And lock the back door from outside so that even if you feel the impulse theres no turning back ;-))
oh facing ur fears is the best way to confront them..i'm sure u'll conquer urs :) sad that the RJ thingie didn't happen...
oooooh so finally you're back. yay!
you're gonna be singing on stage? sooo coooooool. do have fun. :-)
and best of lcuk with the online course.
O O Buzy bee...so that was why u were away! But its good to be buzy at times...afterall,the satisfaction u achieve after doing wt u want in life is a big thing. I a, actually waiting for the day when i'll get back home so tired that i sleep as soon as i fall on my bed.
Hmmm..ur stage fright reminds me of a frnd of mine who sang beautifully but the same happened to her the minute he held the mike on stage.but i am sure u'll cope up with this too,afterall difficuilties mark the way of bigger success.All the best!!!!
Your new template is so beautiful. So, for some reason the RJ didn't happen... but maybe is for the best... there are reasons for everything and sometimes we are not able to understand now...
holy cow - you are a quick jumper -so now it is carnatic & singing - go for it and probably try out with a few music blogs to start with..so you get some reviews...

tulip,
if u promise u wont run away or stop visiting me after that i'll give it a shot :P
Good luck! I'm certain it will go well.
What online course is this?
Running is not an option for those who strive for excellence or for those who want to change **...this is one of the things i would like to successfully achieve...** to "I always knew I am born for it" .So let me restate the options you have now~~
1) perform
2)perform
n this is not a typing mistake.you read it right and i spelt it right.Both options are one and the same...So rock on ~~~
//how u doing dear?//
Oh you dont know how great the last few days have been for me:) I havent been in much pain at all:)
an online course?
nice..what is it.
and, singing in public..with stage fright..very challenging combination.. work on it dear..it will soon go away. Be a good singer..
and if you get famous..don't forget us little people..
being ur sister.. i know how much singing means to you di.. (our old dreams of being playback singers :D) its never too late though.. go on if u get a chance.. knowing u so well.. i know u wont run out thru back door.. so go ahead.. tell me one thing.. how do u bear those studies!! eeeeeee i am sick and tired of it.
So back to studies :-).. Virtual classroom that sounds interesting.. and a solo singer..give it a shot and dont run through the back door... the butterflies in your stomach will get cleared out after one or two performances.
Hi,Diya..isn't it great-to be so busy??I just cannot imagine the thought of sitting idle-it'd be a total disaster.(Idle mind,devil's workshop,etc etc..hehe)...
Wow...vocal music-as Tulip suggested,a song uploaded would be welcome.
Good luck with your studies as well as singing! Stage fright... I think its just some "starting trouble" we all have, but once you start everything will be smooth:)
