Frustrations Amalgamated

A Name Synanimous with



Crazy Kids in

Mellow Madras Blast



The Mid Sixties unto Seventy

Never Heard of

In India

Middle Class

Youth

Not doing Much

Hanging Around

Playing Music


Swimming in the Sea



Fishermen and Fisherwomen



Our Kith and Kin

As we Practiced in their

Shacks

They had Unalloyed Smiles



Fed us

Looked after us

Much better than our Parents



The Sea their Deity




And Human Beings their Friends

Playing Summer Breeze

Mike was Riled

Manoo had a Fight with

Distribution from the

Kitty from a Programme



The Other Night

All is Well





The Fisherfolk give us

Five Days Old Rice Beer

And Get Zonked and

Play Lolita

The Mermaid

Dumboo goes off key


And The Bare Cops Enquiry

About Decibel Levels

Of Our Amplifiers

We say Twenty Thousand Watts Only

They were Drunk

Had no Idea

We signed something and




Next day had Another Part

Of the Beach and

Another set of Experiences


Where are those days

In the Sea Shore

Nineteen Seventy Six days of Unalloyed Enthusiasm

Unaware of our Future Did not

Want to Join the System

Never wanted to Go Home

And as

Moon rose from the Sea

And the Sun was

Setting

On Another Front

What else did we need



Counting those days

That is All

Frustrations

They

Got

Amalgamated
