There was 1 disappointing note to the weekend. So shall crib and whine in the beginning itself. It was in church. A lot of hard work went into a musical put up by our church choir. And the rendition and the spirit behind it was good. But 2 men, control freaks, creatures who lost understanding of life and meaning spoilt it by insisting on having their way.
One made sure that the service was extra long by not adjusting the service to the musical. The musical just became a plug in for the service. I thought Jesus said that the Sabbath was made for man and not the other way around?
The other guy defeated the whole purpose of the musical by adding his sermon not just once but twice! Before and after! The stupidity of it all! These men wish for their bit to be said and don’t give space for others to say what they should. Don’t you realise that the music can speak without you adding your thunderous tones to it? Don’t you realise that you are not building other people by ensuring that you are heard more than other people? DISGUSTING! Sunil left the building with unhealthy fumes generously wafting from his ears.
BUT…
AU were in town. And our Christ college album got released. Yay!
AU are truly AUsome.
Because they are really good musically
Because they are really creative
Because they have a great spirit about them
It was truly uplifting to see them and see their dedication to the group. It was also sad to think that bangalore is such and itty bitty place with too much attitude. But I hope that those who saw them would try and emulate them. They are the benchmark for any vocal group in India.
Thank you AU for showing a bit of what God has intended.
