The Indian Ocean Experience

Ever since I first heard them in suresh's car during our visit to khadakvasala during a grey monsoon afternoon I always wanted to attend an Indian ocean concert, that wish came true for the second time yesterday when I ,Arjun and Harsh attended an unforgettable concert last night.
Well yesterday evening was a typical boys night out like how it used be during the college days, All three of us got together for a concert after a very long time (last time being the iron maiden concert in feb 2008) and boy was it fun!!. We reached the venue just before 8 o clock which was the scheduled time of the concert only to find out that it would take a fair amount of time for the gig to start and it would be preceded by a Fashion show (ohh dear lord). So having a lot of spare time in hand the Kidagiri started. I started Volunteering as a security assistance for DY Patil college at the venue entrance when the hired security guards went for a natures call for which I given them permission,
Arjun has the snaps of me asking people for passes and id cards. The main security coordinator came to me and pleaded that I stand and volunteer there till the guards come, If I have to leave I should give her a call(yeah she gave me her number :P ).
I remember telling people without ids that I am letting them in this time but they should not tell anyone else inside this.Actually it was our master plan to pull a fast one on Janani, who was supposed to join us late and also meeting me for the first time and we succeeded in that for about a minute or so.(I still have to pay her 100 bucks which I took from her entering the venue :P). The guards returned and we all went inside, it was 9 o clock and the fashion show was still going on, people dressed as Senors and 19th century Englishmen, it took another 30 minutes or so for the melodrama to end and the results to be announced, and finally it was time for the tide in RAIT to rise. There were two sections one was for VIPs and the other for Normal people, me and arjun very confidently crashed into the vip section sat before the sofas in the front row and started enjoying the serene music. The band played Kya Maloom (aka Teevra Aandhi),Jhini, Bandeh , A bengali song in memory of Asim, Hille Le, A new song to be released in next amir khan production, Ma rewa and khandisa. The new tabla player is simply awesome, tough vocally he cannot fill in the void left after Asims passing away, that was done by a new vocalist. The whole band was at its sublime best as they entertained us for hour and a half. The concert has really inspired with new ideas as far as My playing goes and has encouraged me to practise guitar more sincerely.

After the concert was over we crashed onto the stage and spoke to Sushmit and Amit and also took some stills with them, which would be updated in a days time.
Feel sorry for those who missed out on this extravaganza and finally Thanks Suresh for introducing me to such wonderful music :) (Loads of love to you).
