The Friendship Day Jam of 3rd August : The Musical Evening that was 'Engineered' to perfection.

Happy Friendship Week to all of u !!!!!
Well a missed Sunday and a 2-week long desperation for jamming, lead 2 engineering students to rush towards streets of bandra , that’s Chintan and Yash. ( We are recently working on taking MFM jam spirits across from Bandra to Mulund Town. Hitherto we had random jams in Mulund. So interested people are welcome to carry this forward. )

Nevertheless, if the jammers are engineers, What do u expect? Even the crowd was full with aspiring engineers, doctors and people from from all walks of life, who came to enjoy the sunset and gentle breeze at the Bandstand. We were just trying to play 'on the rocks' initially but were hesitant whether to continue the ‘Musical Session’ or not …. As it seemed that the rain will start any moment then. But thanks to the rain gods , they showered no rain but only mercy and the sky was made clear after a little drizzling here and there. We made up our mind to continue the musical session. Yash - ‘The Guitar Hero’ started tuning his guitar, playing some good chord progression. Chintan started ‘The BANG BANG’ theory with snare drums and duff. The only listeners at that time were ‘The Bubbly Trio’ – a feminine group of three young engineers – Poonam, Asiha, and Sameera, came to to enjoy the jam but were disappointed by the sparse presence of MFM Rockers. “Never mind at least we are here” was our say….

We started of with some cool numbers like ‘Fake tales of Sanfrancisco’ and ‘Wonderwall’ sang by Yash -which they enjoyed much to their heart. Now- the session that had started on a low key affair, was centre of attraction for many and in came the onlookers in huge numbers…… As more enthusiasts came in we started off with hindi numbers like ‘Dil haarey, anjaane and rubaru ‘.
WE introduced ourselves and the concept of MFM to the people around us and had a brief coversation with them. Suddenly, a sikh guy named Sukhwinder Singh ( true to his name ) popped up from nowhere and requested that he wants to sing some Punjabi sufi and folk numbers. He brought the charm and spirit in true forms by singing some of the really heart-rendering numbers with full explanation of the lyrics that he sang… It was awesome to be in his company. Also our honest and humble regulars Ali and Shadab were present pelting out high energy numbers. They were in there usual sing-song-ding-dong.

We, here at MFM, come together for the sole purpose of bringing happiness and peace to the hearts who listen to our songs. And we feel a tinge of delight when we accomplish that task. Such was the experience when we touched the heart of Samir with our song “ Kal ho na ho” - title track. He turned up to be real life Shahrukh Khan and enjoyed the song whole heartedly and such was his exit – arms fully stretched and walking melancholy away. And yes we feel that we made atleast one person happy. But there are more others to come.

There were many onlookers and participants who sang in chorus, cheered the band and requested many songs. As it was the eve of friendship day, many a group of friends approached us with dedications and sing alongs, One such group was a pack of girls who were aspiring doctors from Nair medical college – constantly supporting us. The session ended with Rajesh and Akash requesting ‘ Allah ke bande’ – the last song that concluded the jam…
The jam was high and so were our spirits.
But we missed Suraj- our full time punter, Tarun, Pulin - who made the vanishing trick at the venue, All time supporters Monica, Gauri, Bharti and the strummers Kailash, Aditya, Gajendra na last but not the least Vinay.
Come on guys ... lets hope to see each other on coming sunday...
This is Chintz a.k.a Chintan saying "sayonara" and will be back with a new happening sunday essay ..
