Chandni Chowk -- the road infront of Red Fort
This is old Delhi. The place is total chaos but I managed to lay my feet around where I could see a lot of shops selling photography equipments. For once I saw some of the best studio equipments on display., but a different story that I could understand only half of them.Inspite of all the chaos, confusion, noise and the people, the place has a charm of its own. If you are in Delhi, you got to go there and dont forget to take the Metro to Chandni Chowk and a cycle rickshaw to the red fort. :)

Hey ANUP ..Can u see Eddie stare at you...look into those dark eyes..
this is an exclusive posting for Anup and for all the reasons he could not come for the Iron Maiden show. The Beast in him is seeing the dark.... ;) " He left alone, his mind was dark and now he needs time to think to get the memories from his mind.. " -- Dude it just came out so aptly.. I did not plan to do this.. But I cant erase it too... As they say 'The Devil sends the Beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short..' I can see u smiling. :) But u keep asking.. 'Can i play with madness' ---
After a long spell of Silence...
Another of those long spells of silence. So much done from the last update of that shitty cricket match update in Goa. Travelled to Bangalore for a smashing Iron Maiden Show. We had Anup inaugurating his new flat at Porvorim. The weather has changed from the nice and feel good winter time to warm, sultry, humid summer. I hate this part of the year in Goa.
The news of Iron Maiden making it to India hit me in November 2006. Damn it couldnt believe it. I have come across rounds of stuff like Metallica coming to India blah blah, but nothing. So i assumed it to be one of those rumours. Well by January I had my tickets booked for travel to Bangalore. Yea I got them for 10 bucks plus taxes. Still no confirmed news on Iron Maiden. Just about the beginning of March we got to see some signs of Iron Maiden coming our way.
And before we could blink our eyes they came, conquered and left. Guys, this is the best shows I have seen in INDIA. And hats off to DNA. what a show!!! The damn floor was covered, so we had no dust. The whole fuckin Bangalore was smokin pot out there..Guys it was amazing. And someone missed all the action. We had our dude Anup missing out on the whole show. Now again only Anup knows why... I have anyways planned on attaching a pic of his Pass that I had with me.... now i know a lot of you guys would want to stone him for that pass that I carry as a momento...
The show was supposed to be a EDDFEST a tour of their new album Matter of life and Death.. but guys believe me they played the Best of Iron Maiden. We had Bruce with loads of energy, jumping all over the stage..Guys, Bruce is one helluva dude... at this age he rocked... during the show he would disappear back stage.. we all counted on he smoking backstage ..;) ..Steve Harris rocked as ever... and then we had the Janick Gers. I was blown... they were just too much for India.. this Show just rocked. For all those who missed it.. I dont have words..

Iron Dude...at the maiden show.
This boy hanging from one of those towers for the speakers had a blast... This piece of stoned idiot jumps off the Rs.900 barricade and runs for his life..climbs up this tower.. Gets out a rolled joint and smokes it.. and even better offers it to the cops standing down below to lay thier hands on him. Isnt that cool? He gets the whole of the crowd from the back row to scream for him.. he instigates them to jump the barricades and enter the rs.1500 area... Hats off to his guts.. and then he manages to snatch his run from the hands of the cops and the DNA guys who were waiting to lay his hands on him.. man he kept our adrenalin rushing for about 15 minutes..

Cricket...
I wasnt really interested in going in for this match played today in Goa between Sri Lanka and India... Just a day before the match I dont know why I got this feeling that I should probably try this match...for I dont know if I would be still having the time to do this in future.. take a whole day off from work, that too midweek..
It all started with unsuccesful attempts to obtain some sort of passes for the match.. then i get this call from Dad saying one of our friend has this 2 passes for me. Cool... I jump off in excitement and there I am off to the match..and guess what we had kinda VIP passes with morning snacks and lunch from coffee day.. and not to forget the beer..certainly from UB..
I think I should share this anxiety episode with you guys. I slept off early which cut thru my sleep cycle. I generally dont sleep until past midnight. And then I jump off the bed when I hear some dogs barking and not realising what was the sound, assuming it to be my alarm clock at 6 am... seemingly puzzled as to why was I still muddled at head inspite of the good nights sleep. I was my face and then I get clear and try to figure out whats happening. I had no clue what I was doing. It was 10 minutes past 00 Hrs... what a relief ... I would not have managed to carry myself to the stadium in that muddled state.. I was off to sleep in flat 10 seconds... Yea you call this anxiety attack... or whatever...
We were at the stadium at 7.30 am.. got in by about 8 am.. amazing crowd...probably would have filled in 70% o the crowd by them... match got to a start by 9.30 am and the men in blue rocked... sri lankans were not allowed to be sri lankans in Goa. Well for the match details get ur hands onto some criket site... Check out some pics i got on my mobile at the stadium...
