Oh Old is Bryan !!



It was a long cherished dream to attend a Bryan Adams Live Show. First time I got a chance was in 2004 when Bryan Adams was in Delhi on 7th February. It was in the financial year when we had to ponder over a 10 rupee or a 9 rupee lunch everyday. But courageously we had planned the trip to Delhi to attend the show before it was marred by some Don. Well it was this name so far I remember who had got the CAT out of the bag in November 2003.Interestingly CAT was rescheduled on 15th February and eventually we had to stay satisfied with our mp3 on high volume concert that we had organized on the cancelled CAT day November 23, 2003. Summer of 69 definitely binds us with the nostalgia of summer of 99 when we left our homes and probably never met our friends together after that.

However life gave another chance to get back to the rocks at Trent bridge Nottingham. But alas I could not find a company to the show!!!!!! Asides, To be frank I was scared of going alone as I would be dwarfed by the sixfootiya stoned firangs. And finally I had a justification that Bryan is 49 years old and it was too late to attend his concert and switched for a diwali function at an Indian Center on that day.

Guess what? Diwali was amazing with concerts comprising Ashiqui songs of 90s and later the DJ rocks with the only chun-geh punjubi songs. I was looked down upon as everyone should know how to dance, so I picked up an Eos 350D to take the center-stage profession for the official photographer of the happy wala diwali evening. This had earned me some good snaps of the beautiful ladies jumping around, me me me …. this was Diwali 2008 instead of Adams concert.I had earlier in the day bought this Motorola Bluetooth headset for the 5 or 6 songs I have in my Xpressmuzic but that too could not get me into hopping. 12 am in the morning, I attain Nirvana , DID I DUMP ADAMS SHOW saying he is OLD??? Oh yeah now I realize it was me preemptively jumping into the 30+ age arena.

Nothing can last for ever that’s why I am no more 18 till I die. Having said that, One day like Today I will be there in the next Adams show in India with my friends.

Waitlist Confirmed!




It was a long wait but still missed the moment. I was since then waiting at the platform when even it was not there. The dream came true but I was not there. Now I find I was not alone in the dream.
