(In honour of this fella, )
I think I shall rename myself as a Bella Veronica Vasudha Srinivasan AKA Girlwine Adams. My dad called me Bella because when I was a kid, the only words I could say was "bell ah?" even when someone knocked on the door. I threw in the Veronica because I was a huge Archie's fan and I remember fondly my pre- teen years, holed up in my room, hiding from the big bullies in the street, pretending I was a rich pretty bitchy girl. I was a born Hindu, but since I was in a convent in Primary school, an autonomous girls's school in my tender teenage years and a communist JC, I have decided for me to be true to myself, I have to embrace all faiths so you can call me a Hebrew Dutch. Or a confused cockroach. But I prefer the former.
My dream is to become the best veena player in the Hanumachi district and this dream evolved when I was 10 because my grandma said of me, "This girl here is useless, no smarts, no looks, no money. Atleast let her play some dammed music and bring in some money to the family." And I began to dream.
My biggest claim to fame is my really bad but heartfelt and sincere attempt to play "Smoke on the Water" on the veena . My family who have always been highly appreciative of music, have christened my attempt akin to a dog on his first sterilisation in an unknown island, like Sulawasi.
But I know its now or never

ALSA IS FINALLY COMING NEXT WEEK. ITS GOING TO BE OVER!
This is a post made in jest with an assortment of inside jokes.
Alot more things have happened but to type, takes a huge amount of effort which is so not worth it. Suffice to say, I had fun but I feel like crap too.
