the show ended by 9.30...but its nvr gonna end in my head....the memories wont ever fade away....

I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy

hey listen......the first thing is change ur blog url to manishthe rockmaniac.......dont u think its a good idea........:))
see that friday was so good and lucky for you......u enjoyed a lot as ur dream came true types it was........u lucky lazzzyy bum.....
and for me........i felt like abusing indian team badly.....thank god it was sponsored by our company. we didnt spend on the tickets. and saw MCG....obviously thats a big thing and the way to MCG by a bridge which is so high u can get a clear view of the city.
then we were lost in finding gates to get inside. there are so many........
we planned to get india ka flag but we were already so late from office so we dropped the plan and ran to get seats as we had general tickets.
then we all got seats together luckily but it was so sunny till 830....:((
just think the sun here sets at around 9 during summer. but its really great experiencing new things like this.
eve u also left office early na for the show.
but ur evening turned out to be so lucky but mine so bad...india lost badly. they didnt even give a good fight.aussies are really good in fielding man.
when u said that u tried to call me wen u reached 4 d show i felt how much happy u r......and no dear u were waitig for the show so much.
even they came to melbourne on 5th and 6th but it was weekday na so there were no way that we could have gone.....in offshore we can manage to leave office early and do anything we want but in these bloody client sites u just cant do anything baby......
then tickets were also costly 150aud. i know u think its worth. but you no na i am not into rock muzic that much. the lil bit taste that i have is from u only....and other people out here were not ready to spend.
i just wanted to go to see how the rock shows are and then heard so much about iron maiden.......:))

but ciggy in ur undi part was yuuuuccckkkkkk......
and that digi cam battery must b stinking so much because of ur stinking socks.
when i will come back to Pune na i will make u listen to bangla band songs,.......they are also good.
itna headbang.......i hope i will still see manish with his head wen i ll b back.....hehe......

chal this one is for you..........

Can't understand what is happening to me,
This isn't real, this is only a dream,
But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before,
I'm looking down on my body below,
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream,
Is it now could it be that the angel of death has come for me?
I can't believe that really my time has come,
I don't feel ready, there's so much left undone,
And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away.

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait til another day.

i guess u felt like that only when u were in the show........your dream come true.....or still u think it was a dream.....
