The Pianist...

I was a small boy.. curious about everything.... and one thing that aroused my curiosity and interest more than any other thing was music.... I still remember, my dad had gone abroad... dont remember which country... but he came back with a "CASIO-SA 1" keyboard... its the lowest level model... but then, at that age, i was so thrilled about it and i went mad... i would always fiddle around with the keyboard... i would be afraid that my baby brother would break it and so would take it out only when he is sleeping or is at a safe distance from the keyboard... My dad used to teach me simple tunes.... I jus loved my keyboard....
My dad identified the interest in me and did a thing that i would be grateful to him forever in my life... he took me to Mr. Shivraj... he is an amazing guitarist/pianist and my dad's friend.... he taught me how to play the keyboard... I think i started learning from him when i was in 3rd grade.... and i have been learning from him ever since... however... the past few years i havent been goin regularly owing to academic pressure.... some of the best days of my life were spent in his house... he never treated me like a student... i was a part of their family...
My keyboard training was going amazingly well... from an SA 1, i moved on to an SA 35 which my aunt bought from singapore... and later, i should thank my mom for this, i got a YAMAHA PSR 210, when i was in 4th or 5th grade... that was one of the best moments of my life.... that was the last keyboard i got...
By the time i was in 10th grade... i was quite a good keyboardist...

Today... i still have the PSR 210.... however... it is in a dilapidated condition... after all, it had been my best friend for more than 6 years.... its old now... most of the buttons dont work... the left output doesnt work... i cant use it anymore... its over..... I am a pianist without a piano.... i could perform in a show this weekend just because i dont have a keyboard and none of my friends who are keyboardists would lend me theirs.... I cant buy a new keyboard too... my family is in a financial crisis... so i understand their problem too.....
So right now i am left with no choice but to take life as it is..... life is difficult without a keyboard.... all i can do now is hope i get a keyboard.....
