Hitting The Right Note

This time I have got the ROCKSTAR of our college ( UPES)my dear friend SAMARTH TRIPATHI.

Guitarist of our college's rock band.

He is actually a rockstar with his electric guitar in his hand.

He is playing an awesome tune out of the many which he has composed himself .

I just captured him at the right time at the right place when he was practicing his guitar in peace.

Samarth is sitting and rehearsing his tunes. It is worth listening him but he plays the best when he is unconscious of anybody present near him.

He posing for me in his own superstar style. His hair actually shows that I m not saying wrong he is a born superstar.

The picture is clicked at our hostel's roof which he feels is the best place for RIYAAZ(practice of music).

His soul, life, passion everything is music .

Through this post I want to acknowledge all the music lovers across the globe.

Its the click when one of my friend was feeding to dogs and playing with them at Char Dukan a place on the way to Lal Teepa.

Its a fight between a wild dog and wild goat.The dog was following us from the char dukan in need of more food from us.

It was the oldest cemetery I have ever seen.This grave was of a person whose life period was 1902-1991.
