As TAAQ’s official biographer, I must point out how the Jupiter Cafe story came about. This is how it goes: One of TAAQ’s close friends had a friend at IIT-K, who had the sign posted on his hostel room door. That inspired us to write the song. Those were days when TAAQ used to rehearse at 606, Barton Centre – immortalized as the “sixth floor balcony” in Wishing for Magic and the “six floors up, one street down” in Brigade Street (from the same album). Horribly enough, that building witnessed a lot of suicides – people jumped off from the top floor and we’ve been moved by some very tragic ones. In fact, on the CD, the song before Jupiter Cafe — Without Wings — is about suicide. Now here’s the jinx — the friend who inspired Jupiter Cafe also took his own life. And that, eerily, made us look at the whole album as a commentary on urban life and suicide — the ten songs do fall into some kind of jig-saw about urban living, dejection, suicide and reincarnation (which is what Jupiter Cafe is about). Just after Jupiter Cafe was released, TAAQ organised a suicide helpline gig for the Rotaract Club in Bangalore. Though we’ve never actually publicised the story, those who listened hard have passed it on. Just thought I’d share this bit here.
