Metallica - De-Virginised

-

- The journey, The end of it all - 

Heard of the term "virgin" (No offense to any of the virgins out there). But have you heard of the term "concert virgin"? That's me. He-he.  I have never ever been to a concert in my life(no I'm not the most boring guy out there). I wasn't even ready to go for one. To be honest, I wasn't willing to spend over 7 Geeba G's for a bus ticket & a Metallica concert ticket. 

MURPHY'S LAW - I booked the bus tickets, and SURPRISE SURPRISE - NO concert tickets :( This wasn't any ordinary bus, It was a bus filled with metalheads & nerds. It was one of these special busses for die-hard Metallica fans. Advantages of it? Unlimited booze + Metallica fan heads + a karaoke Metallica session on the bus. Sure, that's how i'd like to roll on some days but maybe a nice peaceful bus ride would have been alright too.  
It is at this very moment that I was raging hard with excitement, but to my bad luck, I couldn't secure 2 tickets for me and my friend. Short story long, I pleaded, I begged, I cried,  & my prayers were answered by Jesus & the Metallica Gods themselves. Some idiots from Pune couldn't make it & so he ended up giving me his tickets (I paid) for the concerts. Hallejuiah.

BUS BUS BUS - So my friend & I picked up another friend & then we proceeded to pick up another and then another(this goes on) & finally met another friend of theirs and headed to the pickup point. (sounds like a prostitution racket). The bus was originally scheduled for 9 30 but ended up starting around 10 30. (Indian standard time). We somehow got unlucky and landed in bus 2 instead of bus 1. The journey was alright but not without hiccups & pee stops, food breaks, & other shit(literally). So what was originally supposed to be a 16-hour ride turned out to be a  massive 28-hour ride. (hooray for more pee-stop & breaks)

VENUE VENUE VENUE - We landed at the venue all sweaty and tired. We began to wait in line. It was about 12 pm now and the gates were supposed to open at 3. The crowds were getting restless & MIKE TYSON the sweaty bouncer along with his other henchmen weren't letting everyone in. After scuffling we made our way through security check 1 & then 2.From there another 1-hour wait. Little then firang bouncers know that Indians are experts in waiting. Then finally as we passed security check 2 we ran like deers being chased by lions to secure the frontline so we all could see Metallica as close as possible.

SAFETY FIRST SAFETY FIRST SAFETY FIRST - After securing our place as close to the stage as possible, we were treated to some bald firangi (foreigner) who wouldn't start the concert unless we obeyed his orders. Honestly felt more like a concentration camp waiting for our turn to be executed. He kept screaming - SAFETY FIRST (Hey, this isn't a condom ad, baldy! We were treated to 3 opening bands. BIFFY CLYRO who were amaze sauce imo. They aren't new, they are a Scottish band and pretty famous and have a really really big fan following. Watch their live concerts on youtube

GOD GOD GOD - Then the gods of metal came out, FUCKING INSANE. 30 years, yes 30 years we waited for this. Metallica came out in full swing and kicked ass.  The fans went ballistic. Truly an epic moment. They played 18 songs in total  &ending it with the most epic song "SEEK AND DESTROY". Metallica is one of the only few bands which can get 3 generations to come and rock out. That means you can see a grandfather, father & his son, as young as 10 rocking and headbanging together at a rock concert. If a picture had to describe what I just said then please see the one attached.

Ladies & gentlemen, tragedies happen every day & our dear media chooses what gets published. They decide what gets them the TRP's. Unfortunately, we are the slaves to the TRP's. Now, I'm no sassy reporter bringing you the fresh scoop. I'm going to try &  not   pour too much emotion into this post. Blame the heart, not me. Picked up a newspaper lately? Surely, the game of thrones is not the only watercooler discussion you are having in the office. Have you read any paper that doesn't carry some sort of remorse? (Bombay Times doesn't count). For real though, there are accidents, deaths, botched surgeries and then there's a pandemic every 5-8 years. There's death and then there's life. You celebrate life. Actually, you don't! You know who does though? Cancer patients. Cancer patients do! That brings me to the title of my post. Home. It's the safest place these days. It is your heaven, your cave, your attachment to anything safe. ...

Reflect & Receive

-
I want you to reflect deeply on what is written below. After that, receive it, comprehend it, then try and interpret it. Or just do one of them. You know, we spend a lot of time trying to organize the world. We build clocks and calendars and we try and predict the weather. But what part of our life is truly under our control? What if we choose to exist purely in a reality of our own making?   no 1: are there really 31 days or 30 days or just 28 days. should every month be shorter and have 28 days only? no 2: is there really 24 hours in a day no 3: is summer supposed to be monsoon no 4: is orange = green and green = blue I'm controlling my life. Is it in order? I highly doubt that. The funny thing is, I like living a messed up/organized life. However from time to time, one has to be crafty and organized. Think about it, you have all the resources at your disposal, but are you making the most out of it. At least I haven't it. Have you tried living a day in y...

How To Survive - Lesson 1 (Get THT IPOD) :)

Back here again , with not so much of time on my hands ... but im writing so i can fill this blog with something productive for people to read and be inspired lolx . The past month and the current one has really been difficult for me . Im going through alot of stuff right now , and at the age of 22 i was not really expecting to get white hair this quick , or to undergo so much of pressure in one shot .Something like TEQUILA , excepts tequila gets better with every shot you take . "Can i retire ? ? Hello is anyone listening " Anyhow, my ipod was lying idle and i guess i was using it more as an external storage for data rather than using it for music, which apparently it was made for . So i got these awesome pair of jvc headphones and i decide to pick my ipod once again and download some music onto and fire it up in my ear . I have over 150 songs , well not much . I know your'll have more than me, so i don't want to boast . But that's besides the point ...
