Nasha Hi Nasha Hai…
October 7, 2008 10:51 amLast weekend I had been to Sukhwinder Singh’s concert. When my sister first asked me to join her to the concert I was really excited. For one I really admire the man and his talent is amazing without doubt… But nothing could have prepared me for the extravaganza.
Firstly Sukhwinder Singh is an awesome live performer. He really knows how to stir up the audience and keep them excited. When he is in control he totally takes over and does exactly what he wants on stage which is so much cooler than just singing songs and walking off 
Two of the songs he sang in the evening that were a million times cooler than listening on any electronic device were “Beedi” (from Omkara) and “Nasha Hi Nasha Hai”. He has this habit of stopping right in the middle of a song and saying the next few lines like poetry, stressing on the important and imaginative words… Trust me I was floored. He did that repetitively while singing Beedi.
The odd thing is that all the crowd wanted to listen to was “Chaiyya Chaiyya” (from Dil Se). He kept it for the finale and the crowd just went berserk for it
All in all, an evening with great music and showmanship. Not a bad way to spend a saturday evening

Doubles, Triples and Quadruples

I watched the premier show of Evam’s “Doubles, Triples and Quadruples” at Rangashankara last evening. The play was a fun ride combined with lots of laughs, some touching moments and some surprises.
I had personally a memorable and delightful evening thanks to EVAM and the crowd present there… But before I talk about that here are my thoughts about the play.

An Evening Of Theater…

Last weekend my friends and I decided to getaway from the busy city for a one day trip. We directed our attention towards the direction of Mysore, more specifically a beautiful temple 30 Kms away from it. The wikipedia entry says:
Somanathapura is famous for the Chennakesava Temple (also called Kesava or Keshava temple) built by Soma, a dandanayaka (commander) in 1268 CE under Hoysala king Narasimha III, when the Hoysalas were the major power in South India. The Keshava temple is one of the finest examples of Hoysala architecture and is in a very well preserved condition.
The architecture of the place simply blew my mind away. The concentration to detail is magnificent and the variety of statues and design is very impressive. I have a soft corner in my heart for Sculptors and statues so it was a pleasure spending my time there despite the scorching heat.

Democratic…
May 11, 2008 8:07 amI voted yesterday. It was the first time that I did it, ironically when I turned 18 I was all excited that I could vote and when the turn came(x2) I was out of town both the times This time I had plans but managed to wake up early and do the early bird vote before continuing with my day
I was thinking about the whole event and how important its for us to be proud to be a part of the democratic process. Yodha recently had made posts about a book he was reading about the work put in before we got freedom. Its amazing how many people laid down their lives so that we could vote, and people now are too lazy to walk a short distance and spare a few minutes.
Vandalism…
April 28, 2008 3:10 pmI was looking at the Bangalore Royal Challenger’s page in wikipedia to find where todays match is being held. Guess what I found! Read the Result column next to today’s match!
My instinctive reaction was that I started laughing! BRC is my team and I really support them but this is so wrong(a little funny though) For ppl who did not know, Chennai Super Kings are clearly the strongest team in the IPL so far and the Royal Challengers have faced a fair share of defeat.
Ps: This constitutes vandalism doesn’t it? How do I report it?
UPDATE: The vandalism is removed! Was just about the do it(after figuring out how ) and someone already did it Looked at the old revisions of changes and that moron who did the vandalism looks like a top class loser!
