Sing, Aneesha!

*NOTE* Witten long ago-forgot to post-posting today...

So today I skipped school for no apparent reason (again this was months ago). I would say stress, from the boards but they seemed pretty easy (LONG-AGO).
So yes, I do not have a reason for the 'bunking' of school today (that day), but it's okay, I learnt something, that school is much more fun than you think.
I did nothing sitting at home today (the day I wrote this), it was a boring monotonous routine of watching TV, looking for something to eat (junk of course), finding nothing to eat, watching more TV, feeling sleepy, not sleeping and watching TV, AGAIN!
That's why after such a long time I decided to see how my blogs were doing. I casually checked the 'INQUISITIVE' blog first, thinking it was more popular, and more important. But then, I saw the number of views on this one.
395! As we speak (now it's 500), since I had left. 
I did not understand, I barely have two posts in this one, yet it has so many views, I went to stats and saw that most of them (290 to be precise [actually 367 today]) were from 'Badminton, Aneesha'.
So there you have it folks, the reason why I am writing this blog today (THAT DAYYY), about the things I've quit. 
Let me make it clear that there are MANY things that I have joined, gone for 3 months to an year and then got bored of and well, quit.
Out of these the main thing was 'Music' or 'Singing' classes, that I am proud to say lasted more than any other of the things I left incomplete, a whole three years!
In those three years I changed about 4 teachers, but that's not the point, the point is experience, and how much I nag.
When we came from America, I don't remember joining Singing classes immediately, but I do remember joining them when very young. You know, because over the years I would take tiny-tiny breaks and then continue again, and this went on till last year.
Ahh last year! What an year it was? So many things had been quit, makes me wonder how many I will this year..Oh wait! I already have! I'll write about that later.
Now I had four different teachers who taught me singing for bits and bits, although I don't remember the exact reason I stopped going to each of them, I do remember the exact experience I had with each.
My first singing teacher was actually a far cousin of mine. I don't remember how we are related but i remember one day we went to their house and had a wonderful conversation.
Everyone knew this particular cousin of mine and her sister to be excellent singers. They used to perform everywhere, functions, family get togethers and even birthday parties.
So naturally the first thing my father asked was-
"So do you take classes?" 
You see, my father was a big fan of music, he had the ear for it and always wanted to be a musician. When he realized he couldn't, he decided to pass on this dream of his to me and my sister.
 Well, first me.
"Yes, I do. I love teaching music. I take classes on the weekends from five to six." She answered, sounding interested.
"Aneesha will be joining you this weekend." My father said, almost immediately.
And that was it, the start of my long, interesting and melodious experience with singing.
