I closed my eyes...and saw colours flying in sync with the rythm...and as it gets better.. i started feeling somethng vibrating inside myself..YAHOOOOO!! I FINALLY MADE IT TO 'REMEMBER SHAKTI' CONCERT. Despite the terrible traffic, packed slogging trains, and things like 'pass counter closed'.
I made it thr with my roomies.We kept on striking again and again...and again for the passes.. and at last we had it in our hands.
I was a bit embarrased as we were half an hr late. But, as I entered the concert.. all worries and regrets were bygones :)
I was barely able to see the stage.. due to over crowd and a bit of 'miss-man-agment' ;) . anyhow very soon we find place to sit.. and thanks to those big screens , I was able to see my 'stars'... the show was alrdy on its best setting audience at charm.
Slowly we all get into sync with the rythm. the show was a complete 'classic', in the sense indian-classic with sm cross platform instruments with a brilliant blend of creativity.
Voila!! ... soon i managed to get a chair.. and was able to see the stage with my BARE eyes !!!!
thts not all...I was watching Zakir Hussain the Tabla mastereo , U Srinivas on guitar( which he played brilliantly... and stole away the show...atleast for me :)), Shankar Mahadeven.. a gem among my favourite singers (he has a significant command on this singing expertise... and was up to the mark.. 3 cheers!), then comes .. the one.. for whom i was thr.. John McLaughlin!!
