Best friend's wedding

Few months back I went for the marriage of one of my best buddies, I think she is one of the earliest to have done this in my group, lucky enough to find the one. Frankly speaking I haven't been to many weddings in my life, but this was really special, right from the way it was organized and the fun which we had during it. All credit goes to the great parents of Bharti, for having such a wonderful arrangement, they actually changed my belief that the marriages can't go smoothly. I had this perception that such events are always associated with, hustle, hastiness, a bit of shouting and disagreements in various issues, but its was all just very smooth.

I enjoyed thoroughly and met quite many people, even the Princi Mam of my +2 school. Nidhi, Anu, Piku Bunty, Rohit, Devraj, Saurabh and many more. We definitely had a blast. We, straight away after the function left to Dhaba for tandoori chicken, as their were no Non Veg dishes in the menu since last two days, and the toungues of beings like me very longing for it. Not to forget I also met Ashish the bridegroom. It was his day afterall. But the woes of the Indian wedding are similar every where and this guy also had to bear something, which he wouldn't experience again in his entire lifetime, its hilarious, but its part of our life. Just play the video below, its not clear although, but the people their burst into laughter when they actually saw ashish's face. Wishing both a very happy married life. Cheers !!!

Hotel California


There is something damn special about this song, my words for praising or giving you the stats will fall short for sure, for that refer wikipedia.  I would like to mention that Navpreet sang HC in Peerless Inn and I missed that. People said it was damn good. There are very good rumors about this song which I feel are worth mentioning here.

1)  The Eagles song "Hotel California" is about a real Hotel California in Baja California. The Eagles stayed there, wrote music there, they spent money, did drugs, and fooled around with tons of women they didn't remember the next day there. All of the partying, the air of hedonism and monetary excess, made them feel a little uneasy after a while. The song is a warnings to other young artists not to fall into the same trap.
2) The basic premise is that the song is about a Christian church that was abandoned (or otherwise vacated) in 1969, and was taken over by an occultic group (usually Satan worshippers). For some unknown reason, it became known as the "Hotel of California".
3) Eagles are Satan worshippers, and that Satan appears in the window on the "Hotel California" album jacket.
4) Eagle's megaplatinum song "Hotel California" was about Aleister Crowley's mansion near Loch Ness, and the weird goings-on that supposedly happened there; including such "clues" as the line "...they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill The Beast" (Crowley's nickname). It's even been said that if you look on the album cover, you can see Satanic High Preist Anton LeVey in one of the windows.

Some more if you aren't satisfied..... there is some more in store for you:

  • The Eagles were well-known Satan worshippers.
  • "The Eagles" can be rearranged to spell "gales (of) heet," meaning the winds of hell.
  • An old Christian church in California was abandoned in 1969 and taken over by the Church of Satan. It is this church that is referred to by the lyrics, "We haven't had the spirit here since 1969," and "This could be Heaven, this could be Hell."
  • It is in this church that Anton LeVey (referred to as "the master" in the song) wrote The Satanic Bible, and because he let his followers stay there while he was writing, it became known as the Hotel California.
  • The lyric, "They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the Beast," refers to the enduring power of Satan.
  • Members of the Church of Satan often have to lie about their membership (just as they are encouraged to lie as a matter of course), and this is referred to in the lyric, "What a nice surprise, bring your alibis."
  • Church of Satan members take an oath that is binding even after their death, hence the lyrics, "You can check out at any time you like, but you can never leave" and "We are all just prisoners here of our own device."
  • On the Hotel California album jacket, High Priest of the Church of Satan Anton LeVey appears in one of the windows.
  • On the back of the album cover a dead man -- sacrificed by LeVey himself -- is shown propped up by a mop.
  • The Hotel California album was a best seller, which it couldn't have been without help from the forces of darkness.

  • I wonder if any of these is true though Don Henley has denied it. But there is certainly a Hotel California located at Todos Santos, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico.


    These are the pics of Hotel California, and they quite resemble on in the Album cover, don't they? I wish if i could I can go to The Hotel California, stay there and listen to the song.
    Whatte fun it would be!!!
