Tull-isms

Three days of fun at IIMB, met Thakur after a long time, was taught Mafia by Kutty and made him my first victim, had a OUCH session with Alfi and bugged the juniors to death, and attended my first concert by a mainstream class rock band, Jethro Tull. Tull rocked, especially the front man Ian Anderson, who enthralled all with the flute, the acoustic guitar, and of course his vocals. So creative were they that it got our (read Error, Potter, Kutty and Cyborg) creative juices flowing, and resulted in the Tull-isms, a special edition OUCH production dedicated to Jethro Tull.
