My sister who is 8 years of old was insisting for a new bag for her school as well as outdoor camp and I found a perfect choice for her that is Camo mint medium back pack. Personalized back packs for kids, which has enough space for books as well as matching lunch tote. My sister also adores my choice as the backpacks are designed with Mint’s signature fabrics and colorful border designs. Camo mint medium backpack is perfect kids backpacks.

As I went for kids backpacks I solve one my own problem too,I was searching for a laundry bag and I found Mint Laundry Bags which I found very suitable for me as it contains enough space and perfect for laundry. Mint laundry bags contains shoulder strap which make easy too carry so if u are searching for a laundry bag Mint laundry bags is a perfect one.

Gettting the kids backpack and laundry bag was not seems to be enough for me because my eyes were attracted by a Penny Laine Baby Keepsake Books. It is a baby memory books for the collection of all those child memories. The book is with loose leaf with 50 to 60 decorative pages which is excellent for recalling those unforgettable memories its binder also allows you add pages as you wish. You can add any imaged from birth of ur child ur family and special pictures.

It was a cool and windy evening and we were arranging our instruments and making a fuss about the sound system. A couple of our friends had also come over to help us out. Bouts of humor and friendly sarcasm filled the ambience as we hurried up to meet the timeline set for us to assume the stage. It was all about a funny incident that occurred on one of our previous show.

Everything was ready to rock but the time was ticking away, so we hurriedly performed a short jam session with a intro of my mouth harmonica solo only to find out that we had forgotten to turn on the mixer. There was a short pause in our performance and we busied ourselves with the second checks. The speakers of the restaurant became a major obstacle after we learnt they were not functioning as usual since the last show; that was the day before. If we had known, we arranging our instruments and making a fuss about would have brought our own amplifiers and speakers. Somehow, we managed to fix it and at the end, only one of the speakers seemed to work, which was not enough for the show.

The moment arrived and we were ready to rock the show, ready to start yet another rockilicious night in Thamel; the little town of light. Yes I could feel it in my spines as I turned on the mike. After loads of tiring practice sessions in the band room, there we were and it feels great to be heard live. First carne came Roshan’s lead solo…wait a moment it was not sounding right. Roshan skillfully slid through the guitar fret to play the same solo from a different root note and in a few seconds it was sounding as good as ever. It was my turn then. As usual I took my right hand to its stylish position: the one which I had earned through rigorous practices and down I stuck the strings… what on the earth was that? I thought I did play the right chords. I tried to play what I supposed to but it started to sound even worse. I tried to cope up with the vocals letting my guitar down but it didn’t work either. I then saw that Roshan too was facing the same problem as I did.

Well, after a few embarrassing minutes of off scale music, we had to stop the song and unwillingly hear the eerie silence, which prevailed at the arena even before we had started our show…that silence as we musicians know is the one thing that we believe in… we play with it, we make it disappear for a while and make it come back and forth we even use it and make it audible without any sound coming out of our instruments. Most important of all, we respect it. But here, it was making us look like a bunch of idiots.

At the moment we realize a big mistake we had done before leaving the practice room in Gongabu. We forget to tune the guitars. Hence it obviously became an irritating process tuning up our guitars to the required pitch, but more than that, we were notably getting late. It was already quarter to eight when we restarted our show. It had just been a few days after we had performed in a metal concert in Mahendra Police club and we were still into metal madness right until then, so we had to work out a great gap within just four days to come back to stream of romantic and commercial restaurants songs.


It had even become more difficult sad we were restricted only to play Nepali songs at this place whereas we had spent more than one month just practicing English songs for performing in other restaurants and bars. Hence, we could do nothing but try our best as Roshan forgot few of the lyrics from time to time and so did all of us. On the notes and beats as we tried to repeat the songs that we had practiced for playing Deusi on tihar a year ago. It was getting a little bit moody after our second break as we were really into some of our cool blues numbers. During this time I was deprived of using any guitar affects as my faithful guitar jack had forsaken me and we had forgotten to bring an extra jack for such an unforeseen hitch.

Finally it was all going to be like what we had planned, as we were palying our back up songs until our manager arrived. All of us were surprised to hear from him that we had to end our show early at nine pm. I guess it was because of the police who was complaining about something and frantically waving his hand towards us a few minutes ago. Well, whether we liked it or not, it had to end. Judging the show as audience ourselves, we felt looked like a bunch of frenzy phonics it was the most disappointing day of our ‘Thamel-music’ as we could not think of anything good and positive. It had been five pleading shows in Thamel for our band showing up for audition but for unfortunately none of the restaurants managers replied to us and all this time we were pretty tired of borrowing guitar effects and equipments from our friends just for the exhausting free shows and it did turn out to be a difficult talk to explain things back at home whenever we arrived late. I wonder how other bands manage it with their guardians. I guess we all face the same problems.

Making a profit out of music is pretty tough job in Nepal, especially in rock and heavy metal genres. Sometimes, I feel that people of early rock genre are too busy and obsessed earning money and spending an ‘out of rock’ lifestyle whereas it is us youths who are actively involved in playing rock and blues in every evening in the restaurants and pubs in cities like kathmandu, doing their cover songs and facing a cold yet, encouraging wind of change. There are many others problems for musicians like us and these problems are closely associated with today’s new cultural trends and economic slump. Though in today’s world rock music seems to have lost its significance, we all know that it is still not dead. And there is no one who can stop us from driving ourselves on the Highway to Hell!! With this feeling, we left Thamel that night, with a promise to return again and play.
