....been to Jai Ho concert....unique one-of-its-kind experience.
Truly a genius...Rahman
and then there's that digital screen that someone designed...don't know who but mind-blowing work!
Having said that the arrangements done by GMR for the concert itself were pathetic...eekss...
but then what we took away from the show was a fantabulous...super experience.
The songs...most of the songs from Rahman movies that he himself sung featured predominently...all most all songs from Jodha Akbar...
and then ofcourse all his famous numbers...
There's something magical with music...I mean...years...ages after we passed out from B.Tech...I can still instantly connect...and go back as if it was just yesterday whenever I hear that Mustafa song...that one song was were ragging anthem...can't forget those days when we helped the non-telugu gang to learn the lyrics and sing (all of us together) EVERY night as an anthem....
And then now years later I heard that song from Rahman himself...and I missed them all...ALL OF THEM...I want my friends back...:(
The concert itself closed with Jai Ho and Vande Mataram...the entire public stood up...joined the song...shouted...and actually felt that pride when they said Jai Ho and Vandemataram...
That was ONE concert...

List...
Yeah...I couldn't think of a better way of doing this - Updates..!
1. Went to Shirdi last week, can't recollect much except the 2 (TWO WHOLE DAYS) spent travelling. There has to be a better way, better roads, faster travel, better weather...
2. Kids are doing fine. Both of them were sick but recovered now. Dhriti still has problem with her tongue...don't even know what the "name" is, but something akin to mouth ulcers...(just that it is 10...no 100 times worse than that)
3. Dhruv has become very very naughty. He CANNOT stay calm, stable for more than a minute. Good news is he is sleeping patterns are slightly better
4. Plan was to go to Tirupathi also this month (for Dhruv's gundu), but postponed it to Dec. Too many travels in a month, leave, finances, Diwali and many more reasons to it. So, bottom-line: He'll probably have a "gundu" for his birthday.
Oh my god, it's already almost one year!!!!Yipeeee...
5. Oh, somewhere down the line last month I realised a very simple reason for belief in GOD. Can't recollect what it is now, but it made a loooot of sense. And I've also realised that I am not a very "religious" person inspite of the family that I was born into. And the best part is there are many people now who are into rituals, why...why the sudden interest?
6. And swine flu. I am scared, very scared. But it is passing. I mean the scare. And I think it's a media thing also. For a few weeks everyday it was the headline. In between we had YSR tragedy and then now recently the floods and swine flu has taken a back seat. By the way, the floods are TERRIBLE.
7. Shiva is still travelling. In and out of Hyderabad. Right now in Dubai. Do I want to go also? Yes, ofcourse!!!
8. Aps has another baby girl, Ruchika....congrats Aps...for the baby, for the no-drugs delivery and ALL THE BEST. You need it :)
To end this all...
