It kind of gives me a kick to think that two years ago and a day ago, at this time, I was standing about eight feet away from AR Rahman. They were arranging the stage at Gachibowli stadium for the concert, and I was up on the top level of the three-tiered structure, holding a tabla in one hand, waving at the orchestra with the other, and trying very hard not to giggle/dissolve into hysterics/faint, as I thought of the two All-Entry Passes in my pocket.
Four long trips, one fight, and one heckuva concert, all in one evening. Man, that was a night to remember. And not just because of AR Rahman and the rest of the crew.
I remember that entry of yours!
Yeah, I added him promptly after reading that entry.
I thought you added me after this. :)
Oh, the stage incident with ARR sealed it.

Do you have “The last temptation of Christ” OST on a cd, by any chance?
I just came to know that L.Shankar co-wrote many tracks on that OST with Peter Gabriel.
I do, of course. :) Got it as an SACD in Bangalore.
I hope it is in Bgl so that I can get it when I come there.
Are you sending me Chungking Exp this weekend?
It is not in Bangalore, I am afraid. You can take CKX when you’re here.
What I meant is, Mons is not going to Hyd this weekend, she’s yet to find a house.
I was there at the concert among the screaming audience. And yes, I had a blast.
Adding you by the way. Any fan of AR Rahman is a friend of mine!
