Tantalising Tenets: Musical MENON makes it count

1 If you weren’t a musician what would you be doing?
If I was not a musician, I would be on my way to becoming a film maker.
 
2 Eternal youth or fat wallet?
Fat wallet!
 
3 The first thing you would pick if you have to make a choice in 10 seconds? 
My wallet.
 
4 What comes first? Chicken or egg? A song on repeat?
I don’t know. That is the most confusing question ever. So, I will go with ostrich. Take the A train by Delta Rhythm Boys.
 
5 Tell us about a date gone real bad ?
I took this lady out on a date and we went for a football match. She was a little taller than me and I made a remark about her height. She completely lost it, and started hitting me out of nowhere.
 
6 Music to you is? How would you explain this to your grandmother? 
Music means everything to me. It calms me down, it soothes my nerves and whenever I play, I get into this zone where I can forget all my worries, and for once just be myself. If I had to explain what music means to my grandmom, then I will take the example of how she feels whenever she sees granddad, it calms her down, she forgets all her worries, and she feels complete.
 
7 Pet peeve? What would your tombstone read?
Traffic jams in Bangalore. As for my tombstone, “Highway to hell,” I am not going out without quoting ACDC.
 
8 An onstage blooper?            
I was performing for this show, and I got up onstage a little intoxicated. I started playing, and went into a zone where I blocked out anything and everything. I started walking all over the stage and some people came up and asked my band mate if I was actually drunk!
 
 9 A trait about you that people like? 
Well, I’ve heard people calling me a good listener.
 
10 A compliment that you never understood? 
So this person once said, ‘You’re like a bear,” and I am still confused about it. What does it mean? Does it mean I am fierce as a bear or as cuddly as a bear or I just go into hibernation phase like a bear?
