The Jai Ho Concert!

On the last Saturday, I saw God..live! The God of Music, Mr A R Rahman. It always was a dream to watch him playing live! And there was an opportunity of making this dream a reality, when I saw that advertisement about 2 months back while surfing on the internet, which said,"A R Rahman would be performing live in the city at this place on this date, Jai Ho Concert and blah blah blah.” I dint want to miss the chance, that God has given to me. I tried to convince so many people to go to this concert. We were 4 guys, who got our tickets booked on the internet. Before one day, I had made a list of people, whom I’ll call so that they’ll listen to A R Rahman, playing live! But all that went in vain, when I found that my mobile was not catching any signal. The location was located very far away from Hyderabad. There is just airport and a 7-star hotel over there and nothing else. Mere Chandigarh waale number mein bhi there was not sufficient balance, to make a call or two. I called up Utsav and asked him to get me a recharge of 200 bucks on the old number. He confirmed me of doing it.. (Somewhere around 8.30 PM, i got the recharge done.) Now we all were waiting for the show to start. Suddenly, there was a noise, coz the person, whom we were looking for, turned up on the screen, wearing a white T-shirt and pants singing the track of the movie Guru, titled ‘Jaage Rahe Hain Der Tak’..! I actually could not believe the dream coming true! Open Mouth, both hands crossed behind my head, eyes looking at the sky, I was actually shivering at that moment! It was actually, AWESOME! Later the following tracks were covered by him and his crew:

Khalbali (RDB), Ye Haseen Vadiyan (Roja), Delhi 6, Jiya se Jiya, Gangsta Blues (SDM), Ringa Ringa (SDM), Fiqrana (Blue), Dil Se, Kehne Ko Jashn-e-bahara hai (Jodha Akbar), Chupke Se (Saathiya), Mausam (SDM), Kahin Toh Hogi Wo (Jaane Tu..), Kabhi kabhi aditi, Rehna Tu (Delhi 6), Chhaiya Chhaiya (Dil Se), Mayya Mayya (Guru), Arziyan (Delhi 6), Khwaja mere khwaja (Jodha Akbar), Kehna bhi kya, Jiya jale (Dil Se), Pappu can't dance saala, Rangeela, Ae Bachu (Ghajini), Mustafa, Hamma, Jai Ho and Vande Matram!

Plus there were some telugu and tamil numbers also.

The crew included: Sivamani (Awesome Drummer!!), Blaaze, Benny Dayal, Neeti Mohan, Shweta Pandit, Tanvi Shah, Javed Ali, Rashid Ali, Sadhna Sargam, Chitra, Suzanne and many more!

It was an awesome evening! It was a full utilization of 1000 bucks! From 7.00 PM to 10.15 PM, it was complete satisfying fun, which can't be explained in words! It was a lifetime opportunity. I'm happy, I dint waste it! :)

Now if somebody asks me, is there anything big that I’ve done in life, I’ve got something to say..! :)
