audition
a conversation on twitter (between saroj & i about this article in the ny times - see the screen grab) reminded me of something that happened years ago when i was in sixth standard, in my first year in boarding school.
one day a whole bunch of us were ordered to gather in the assembly hall after lunch. once there, we were told there was to be an audition to select new members for the school choir. the music teacher sang a short "aaaah" (is that called a chord or a tune?) and asked each of us to try and sing it in the same tune. my turn came in due course. i distinctly remember the dear lady's face twisting in horror within a few seconds of my attempt. she yelled out a tortured, "enough… next!!"that was the end of my budding musical career.
