Smells like a 'keen' spirit!

By Havok

While on one hand he has become the worldwide trending topic on Twitter; newspapers and Bollywood magazines are abuzz with reports confirming that Sonu Nigam, India's very own rockstar (Yess...that is what he claims to be!!) is starting his own Hard-rock band to be called “NIRVAAN”, we at FNT have been informed by some trusted sources that this golden boy of Indipop is 'keen' on having the first public performance of the band in the University premises.

Shocked?

Yeah, even we were, but we have managed to dig out full information regarding this. It all actually started in 1988 when Sonu, accompanied by his father visited Thapar for an event organized by SPICMACAY and he saw American rock band “NIRVANA” performing for the first time. It is said that young Sonu was totally floored by the the band’s performance. When we asked about the incident from him, Mr. Agam Kumar Nigam, beaming with happiness replied, “It was about two decades back but each moment of that night is still inscribed in my mind, I haven’t seen Sonu happier, he was so ecstatic to see Kurt Cobain sing that he ran his way up the stage and started headbanging to Smells like teen spirit. Since then, he has considered him as his Guru and Thapar as place that is holiest of the holies. Even when we came back from Patiala, that was the only song that could be heard in our home for the next many years but then, that eventful day came..” Controlling his emotions, visible shaken Mr. Kumar continued “..the day when Cobain left for his heavenly abode, its it then that he decided that he’ll start his own rock band someday and will call it “Nirvaan” as a tribute to the great band and its great vocalist and the first public performance of the band would take place at Thapar only.”

Our sources say that Sonu is quite nervous on how Ms. Sheila will react to his offer because he is aware of the weird decisions she has been taking recently.

While some students are going crazy to see his performance, many are criticizing his decision of forming a rock band. When asked for his opinion on this news, a final year student, apparently a big Anu Malik fan replied, “Unchi hai building, lift teri band hai, band banaane chala hai, saale ki buddhi mand hai.”

But who knows, if all goes well, we might be the lucky(??) ones to be the audience to the first ever performance of this first Indian hardrock band.
