My new website about Guitar

I just started learning guitar and I thought instead of maintaining a journal on paper, it would be much more interesting to maintain it on a webpage.

So I created a website using Weebly to host my journal about my Guitar lessons.

This is written in an explanatory manner such that others like me who don't have much knowledge of music what so ever could use to learn guitar. Its a free tutor.

I edit it whenever I have time between my classes, homework and my job

I plan to post videos later as and when I have time.

You can visit it at : http://letstalkguitar.weebly.com/

Its in its beginning stages and any comments would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and I hope you like it!

Snow in Lubbock

For past couple of days it snowed in Lubbock. I took around 200 pictures around my apartment & the university. I would like to share a few.


This is one of the several beautiful sculptures in the Texas Tech University campus(right behind Rawls College of Business Administration).
The water was completely frozen.

This is a frozen lake. It was so chilly around it. It was truly a wonderful experience!

This is a poor longhorn that had to endure the severe weather!

Felt sorry for this guy who was walking in the snow. By the way right behind him is the Texas Tech Rec. Centre.

Lubbock has some extreme weather conditions!
