So why do you think the guitar exists? To help make music, did we hear? Well, don't you think that's an old-fashioned, stereotypical use for a perfectly multi-faceted instrument?

Let's do an economic evaluation - a guitar is anything but cheap. And if you do invest in it, might as well serve a few other purposes. Don't know what we are talking about? You clearly don't watch/hear too many Bollywood songs.

Down the years, Bollywood has illustrated how versatile an instrument the guitar can be - and not essentially musically. Here's a 101 on how to use the guitar for more practical purposes than music.

Summer's a few weeks away. So you basically have just a few days to brush up your prickly heat scratching skills. Grab that guitar right now and closely follow what Mithun Chakraborty is doing here.

(Yaad Aa Raha Hai, Disco Dancer, 1982)

Nobody wants to work out with you. Your guitar, you see, doesn't have a choice.

You want to pee and the zip wouldn't come off. That happens too many times after too many beers, isn't it? Practice the following motions with your guitar... the zip will have no option but yield to you
