Smells like a ROCK spirit!!

Well today was ganesh chaturthi. Nothing special to celebrate but yes the day off certainly calls for celebrations. We decided to attend a rock concert. Well Almost. Day before evening we were having a chat before heading home. I wanted to watch ROCK ON.Joshy suddenly comes up with the comment, 'I m watching it .''With who?' I shot back.The whole gang glaring at him at this. He points out to few other members of our team. So the plan was on and joshy is now dragged into our plan of things. Who is booking the tickets? Well there were souls who wanted to check their scheme of things for the off day and let us know later. So checking ticket was postponed to the next day.


Come next day, first things first. Check mail and voila!! No new mails. After the tea break, we decide upon who all are going to be in. Nish,Sami,Joshy,Me all confirmed. Rashmi had her plans for the day already set so she backed off. After lot of permutation and combinations on conference chats, we come up with 6 number of tickets. The last two were kind of tentative till the day prior to the show. We checked out PVR and it as usual dissapointed us with no tickets. I did a quick search over the internet for fun cinemas. Had heard from my friends tat its a nice place to go and hang out but not as grand as Forum. We finally had the tickets over there so just booked them.

The tentative tickets had many stake holder. Neeraj had backed out after learning tat his wife had made some arrangements for the festival. So we go fishing for people at this. Me and Joshy on the conference asked for some single females to be fitted in by other gang members. :-D.Later nish pointed tat the requirement should have good looking too in it.;-). Finally Neeraj is back, and this time deliberates that he is gonna make it. Wonder if it was the insane gang,atleast thats how he introduced us to his wife :-P, or the movie that motivated him. ;-). He went on record to say that even if his better half doesnt turn up, he is gonna make it.:-P. So we were left with only 1 tentative ticket but we rested our case after this.

Day ends, now no body knows where this place is and how to reach. So we use wikimapia to get a relative understanding of location. Plans are set, Nish takes his car since its raining cats and dogs during evening nowadays. Joshy reaches Nish's place by 3. Move to pick Sami by 3:45 and then finally me before we set out on our discovery of this new location.Today Neeraj confirms the other tentative ticket. After some really confusing instructions from me and Sami, we finally reach the place. We decided to run around and fetch the tickets from the counter first. After this we had close to 2 hours to loiter around. Most of these 2 hours were spent hogging, window shopping , photo sessions and rating people of opposite gender, err well in sami's case it would be the same gender. BTW she wanted to join this whole operation so we let her in too for our safety ;-).

About the movie ,I feel its worth watching. Farhan Akhtar knows to act and sing too. Wow. :-). Music is definitely the kind you would listen to in all the live rock concerts contemporarily.If this has been really worked by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, then its truely commendable. I liked the kind of geniunity the film potrays in that aspect. Both the crowd and the on stage experience is quite nicely shot. When you are out of the movie hall, you have this feeling that you have been to a rock concert. The crecendo is definitely attained on the last stage performance. Arjun Rampal singing(well obviously lip syncing) his song at the end is by far the best in the whole movie although I did like the performance where Farhan akhtar involves the crowd into singing along. That rocked too!!. The movie wont be a bore to even people who dont listen or follow the rock bands. Its got a nicely knit story of 4 friends and how things change when ego clashes happen and how easy it is to actually patch things which seems difficult. Everythings is handled in a very contemporary way and very tidily. Nothing clumsy bout this movie. Over all you go ahead and ROCK ON!!\m/. Thats my message to you.
After the movie we have our own rock on session on our way back singing aloud some of the songs. Finally Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all :-). HAppy blogging !
