What a show!! FANTABULOUS! Simply superbb!!!
Just back from an awesome concert by the musical maestro, A.R. Rahman. This concert 'Jai Ho', which is also the one after winning the oscars, marked the beginning of his world tour. The show was organized by an NGO 'Global Kerala Initiative', and the profit from the concert would be used for rehabilitation of HIV positive orphaned children. The show began at around 8pm and then I had 3 hours which i wont forget for a very long time!
We had originally booked tickets worth 1000Rs. But luckily Bharath's dad had got 5 complimentary tickets worth Rs10,000 each. So 5 of us - bharath, ramu, murali, anoop, and i - gave our tickets to some of our friends, who didnt have tickets to the show; and took our seats in the 'platinum circle', from where we had a much better and closer view of the stage.
This show would easily displace the recent concert by Shankar Mahadevan at Ragam as the best concert that I've been to. No concert by an Indian can be bigger than that of 'Mozart of Madras', A R Rahman; atleast for a decade. And I doubt if I could watch better concerts overseas too, coz this was just awesome!! The singers who performed included greats like Chitra, Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam. We also had performances by Blaaze, Rashid Ali, Benny Dayal, Javed Ali, Mohammed Aslam and many more artistes. The most striking thing was that even after so many performances and the fame, Rahman was so humble thoughout.
You cant find many better ways to end your college life! And as ramu suggested, we've got to laminate the tickets!
Quite tired now and really sleepy. So cya later.
Hf!

Regret having missed it. Read that this is the 1st of 39 such shows to be held all over the globe in the next 5 years. Hoping to be a part of at least 1 of them.
yea...we were really lucky to get the concert in the same city...who would have expected him to perform in calicut, of all the places!
