How we made our own guitar
This is little tale about my friend and myself. It took place during our vacation when we didn't have too much to do and therefore thought we should make a guitar.We were an enthusiastic duo and knew that once we started,we had to see our idea through to the end. First, we had to find a guitar maker and ask him about the wood ,the products to used and the procedure to build a guitar.Thinking about this we left our homes to visit the furniture shop.On our way to the shop we ,we asked in many other shops about the guitar maker who lived near our place, Bhayandar. We learnt that he lived near Ostwal park, which is on B.P. road.on our way there, we met a man who had a guitar in his hand. We asked him where he had bought the guitar.He told us he had bought it from Churchgate.We thanked him.Since we were not interested in buying a guitar, we reached the place mentioned by the furniture shop. However, we did not find hime. A paanwallah(Beetle leaf shopowner) told us that he had seen a man carrying two-three guitars.We went to that place he mentioned,but there too we found nothing.On our way back,we learnt from someone that the guitar maker lived near Hanuman temple,but there were two Hanuman temples in Bhayandar!We went to both the temples to look for guitar maker but did not find him.We were very tired now. We stopped to drink some sugarcane juice and then were on our way back home. A shopkeeper we met on the way gave us an address and we proceeded to that place. Slowly,I bagan to remember the place. When we finally reached that place,I realised that it was my grandmother's cousin's house,whose son was the guitar maker and had a shop full of guitars. Then I also remembered that i used to go to her place in my childhood and that she came to our house regularly. When we reached there, I was shocked to see her and she too was surprised. She enquired about everyone at home. I replied that everyone is fine. Then we asked her about the guitar making procedure. She told us everything that we needed and we noted it.After asking carefully about every single thing, we went to our homes and started our work from next day itself. Whithin three days,our guitar was ready to strum. From that day onwards ,we have been thinking about such ideas that come to minds.
This was the sory that I have written when i was 14 years old in my school. Copyright 2008 mrinal |
