Being brought up in Shillong and growing in a household where i have seen my uncles pouring down gallons of beer down their lustrous hair and screaming their lungs to sing like plant and coverdale..and a single mother who brings home cassettes like ACDC and rainbow..Led Zepp ...so i am no stranger to noise.however with time it changed to backstreet boys,boyzone etc the list goes on and on.... blushing while singing along to their mushy tracks
Then i became a woman and i realized that there is more to John Mayer, Jack Jhonson, fleetwod mac, JJ cale so i decided to go old school again.searched for bands like Nazareth, rainbow, Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, Bad English and many more till i found my sanctuary in a lot more heavier noise than the usual.
My all time favorite would be Megadeth. then Delhi happened and here i was shocked and amazed...PANTERA? really? SLAYER?? SEX PISTOLS?? ACDC??? Really... these were the bands whose posters i saw at an early age pasted on the walls of my Uncles room (RIP John Uncle death caused by the damn bottle).
I fell in love with Heavy metal but had very little time to express my love as i was involved in stupid time consuming relationships and fell in and out of Louuu which proved nothing but a big pain in my ass.
Yes i had been in love maybe for the first time and when things did not work out like a Loser i was devastated i lost every reason to live and i was empty from the inside but having too many responsibilities i knew what i had to do... but did not know where to start.Then Ranti Nasha seeped into my life and here i am writing a small piece sharing and showing my gratitude to the greatest band in the universe.
Life maybe in the past few months i would have said is a bitch...but now i am proud to say that i am ALIVE and hell Yeah and m standing tall.
The band i would like to pay tribute 2 at the moment is our very own Bhayanak Maut,who at a time when nothing seems to be worth living or listening too and when my first love (Music) almost died along with me..somehow there was this track that was lying there untouched in the longest time in my phone...the track is called "Ranti nasha" which i still dont know what it means... but for all i know it saved me and i listened to this beautiful track more than 20 times in a day . Id start my day with a prayer and then the normal daily routine of preparing myself to go to the corporate battle field. Ye in spite of all of this there was Ranti Nasha every step of the way.
The energy that flowed through me the first time i had ever listened to the track with a worn out paper whose lyrics i downloaded from work was beyond imagination...i was kinda like possesed i just felt sudden rush of energy within me and for the first time in a long time i said YES! i am going to kick every body's ass. I am no carpet.. and no one messes around. It was Ranti nasha still is ...in the metro, Ranti nasha in the auto, And sometimes when i listen other BM tracks (to be honest i just have 5 tracks ) especially when i get down frm the metro at the Malviya Nagar metro station (my stop) i so wanna stick out my tongue and the devil horn and say out loud..........
"One day- I rise i maim i kill i thrill
Stand tall - this will not change"
I would like to thank you for your music.
I have been a fan right from the year 2008 when a colleague and a friend of mine Sangam Gesha introduced me to your band, however the daily chores kept me away from listening to your music more often but now u guys are so much part of my life that your music just plays in my lappy my phone my mind....All the time...\m/
Thank you Bhayanak Maut
God Bless
