An I-Day surprise

I woke up feel­ing slightly depressed on I-Day. A few nag­ging mat­ters refused to leave me in peace, and the best way to tackle this state, I’ve found over time, is to occupy myself with some activ­ity or another. Geetha and I had noble inten­tions of watch­ing the I-Day parade. Geetha had asked me the […]

Songs from the wood

Jethro Tull as expected rocked the IIM grounds last Fri­day (Jan 3). It was my first visit to the much hal­lowed cam­pus and what­ever lit­tle I saw looked good. There was hardly any space for park­ing with all the nar­row roads choc-a-bloc with vehi­cles. I made a rea­son­ably early entry arriv­ing with my pre­cious pass in hand (thanks to Usha!). As soon as I entered the grounds, I made my way to the very front of the stage.

Two noteworthy performances

I have to write about two per­for­mances that I enjoyed in the last week.

One was last Sun­day evening at the Palace Grounds — Octo­ber­fest, the fes­ti­val orga­nized by King­fisher. Since, beer is not some­thing that tick­les my fancy, I was hop­ing the music would be worth going for. On that note, I must also add, that I was pleas­antly sur­prised by the way the whole set-up was orga­nized. They had nice seat­ing arrange­ments all around the front area of the stage, so you could chill out and eat your food and drink your beer and enjoy the music from wher­ever you were.

A magical combination

Search­ing all my days just to find you
I’m not sure who I’m look­ing for
I’ll know it
When I see you
Until then, I’ll hide in my bed­room
Stay­ing up all night just to write
A love song for no one

Discovered: wannabe rock star!

It was karaoke night at Opus and finally man­aged to get Suman in front of a mike. It took the com­bined cajol­ing of a few of us namely : Geeta, Archana, Mad­man, Muthu and yours truly.

When Sat came to town!

Joe Satri­ani rocked and every­thing they say about him being a god is true!! He was sim­ply amaz­ing. If Knof­fler rocked, Satri­ani rocked with a cap­i­tal R! He came on stage in his trade­mark black shades and black t-shirt. He took his gui­tar at 7.00 pm and only stopped at 10.00 pm after 3 hours […]

Sultan of Swing

What am amaz­ing guy! And to think I nearly missed the show. But thank­fully, I saw sense at the last moment! Then I nearly lost my way nego­ti­at­ing the maze of North Ban­ga­lore. Finally, after a few fran­tic phone calls, I man­aged to get on track. I could hear the roar from the crowds as […]

Love Song For No One”

I could lis­ten to his sexy voice all day long! Stay­ing home alone on a Fri­day Flat on the floor look­ing back On old love Or lack thereof After all the crushes are faded And all my wish­ful think­ing was wrong I’m jaded I hate it I’m tired of being alone So hurry up and get here […]
