It aint easy being a DJ.

Just thought of jotting down a few occupational hazards from my experiences so far.

1) There will always be this one guy in a party who will want u to play a track on repeat mode, oblige only at the cost of being slaughtered by the rest.
2) Answering to natures call, pushing oneself through a packed dance floor and making it before the track ends is not a very pleasant experience.
3) Playing at a budget club where the booth monitors are non existent and the speakers are from China. God bless you.
4) Your girlfriend turning up just when u have a wet T-shirt crazy fan on the console with u. Hmmm...your history.
5) A flying bottle from the novice flare bartender hisses right past you. You cannot get lucky always.
6) My first DJ console resembled more of a cashiers desk, yup was asked for bills too.
7) You remember your regular clubbers names by the words "DUDE" and "BABES".
8) Did I mention at the night of your big event, the dog u just bought has nibbled away your favorite pair of headphones.
9) To ease the tension before an event, you gulp down many a pegs and now u cant even stand let alone think.
10) Oh was it a Bollywood night?!! Crap I bought only my House music set of CD's.
