**A long lost post discovered in the spam folder…hate when that happens..sorry about that Anis. :) **

This is my last “official” day here at The Breeding Ground, but I am happy to say that this has been the greatest summer of my life! I had an amazing work crew (Tariq, Nikki, Bilkis, Patrick, John Busi, Mikeinder, Jeff) and learned more than I could’ve ever imagined.  The connections and friendships I have made will last me a lifetime and the things Tariq has taught me about the music industry will definitely help me advance in the world of music.  I thank all of you for exposing me to a world of opportunities and remember “I WILL BE BACK”

My internship here at HighBreedMusic and The Breeding Ground NYC is slowly coming to a close.  I have been working on my portfolio and it brings a smile on my face when I go through all my memories here.  The bands I’ve worked with are some of the most incredible musicians I have ever met, and the connections I have made will last me a lifetime.  I have learned so much about audio production and how many different aspects there are to being an audio engineer.  All in all, as Arnold says “I WILL BE BACK!” = )

So this weekend was the first time I’ve ever had Dim Sum! Wow! It definitely lived up to my expectations.  It was almost exactly like a buffet, except for one amazing factor.  THE FOOD CAME TO YOU!  The food tasted incredible and there were an endless amount of choices.  I used to love Chinese food, but now I think I have a whole new love for it =d.  Look out Chinese Dim Sum restaurants, you have a hungry beast on the prowl ;)

If hell was anything like NYC in the summer, then I think I’ll pass.  This past week has been one of the hottest weeks I’ve ever experienced since being back to India.  India is a tab bit hotter but WAY more humid, especially during Monsoon season.  It literally feels like you are walking through a sheet of water, and the heat makes things even more unbearable.  NYC is almost exact like New Delhi in the summer!

Let me just start off by saying, I hate clutter! Yes, I know hate is a strong word, but it’s the only word that can define how strongly I feel about a mess.  Nikki and I did a ton of organizing today at The Breeding Ground and man does it feel good!  Besides, being organized is a healthy lifestyle =P

Feels good to be back at The Breeding Ground.  I can already feel the positive musical vibes hitting me on this beautiful Tuesday morning!  Just moved to a new apartment in Brooklyn so had to find a new route to work.  So glad it’s a little closer!  Just heard Bilkis is leaving = ( We’re going to miss her here, but thank goodness for Facebook!

I can’t believe this is my last week of work here! I feel like I just came yesterday but no, this is finished. It was a great pleasure working with you, dear people! If my English has not really improved, now I can pretend to be the champion of databases!:) I can’t say goodbye because we will meet again so, see you soon!

Even if the weather is not really sunny, it’s a pleasure being here! Most of people speak French, so now I can understand conversations, people are very friendly and charming, the atmosphere in the city is very cheerful and I look forward to see the Festival in the streets!

PS: It’s very weird, I feel like I know most of the clubs, bars and music venues…Thanks database!

Even with everyone gone to the incredible Jazz festival in Montreal this week, Mike and I have been doing our best to keep The Breeding Ground alive and filling it with our music!  Missing Tariq, Nikki, and Bilkis though so hope they are having as much fun as possible.

I love the fact that the shows are always different from each other! Yesterday we had the pleasure to assist to a show very unique: two cute boys who came from Holland to make us discover their Dutch conception of music…

One is a talented DJ and the other one an incredible singer: so both of them form a great duo, that’s why I immortalized this magic moment by taking a picture with the two of them!

Sorry girls, HA HA HA!

Bilkis

Crazyy show last night, had the chillest vibes in Brooklyn!  Full Crate blew me away with his beats and Mar defiantly moved me with his melodies.  All in all, a fantastic night!  Even had a chance to sing with Mar!

…are nice because it cools down outside afterwards, and a little breeze kicks up. Makes you appreciate the sun coming up full and bright the next morning even more.

We’re all getting ready for the show here at the Breeding Ground tonight! Band from across the seas, a full house, and some great music.  We’re gona be in for a sweet night ;)

DC. Wow. Yum.  Those are basically the two words that sum this incredible city!  ”Wow” is for its amazing historical sites and diverse peoples, and “yum” is for the amazing variety of foods you can find there! I had a chance to visit my uncle (who lives overseas at the moment) and have some really delicious Persian food! By Persian food I mean a mouth watering piece of beef kabob with broiled tomatoes and a plate of steamy white rice, topped with saffron and a side of yogurt.  Oh yea!

This weekend was so cool! I did a lot of things, like going to the Chicha by night with my friends and dancing until 3am, to Greenwich Village, Times Square again, the 5th avenue… I also entered into the NYU, but a very polite cop good-humored told me to get out: it was very cool to be hunted out by a cop, I’ll never forget that!
