Metallica… GODS of Metal

Jus came back from one of the best nights in Mumbai…

A band named “blind image” from Chennai had a Metallica tribute in the Aura pub in Powai Hiranandani….and believe me it rocked like Hell there…
Interesting thing was the guitarist who played alongwith the band (not a part of band) was from my hometown Nagpur…Daniel (Danny) … I have been listening to this guy from my 1st year as he was a regular participant of the Rock Show we organized in Aarohi… :D and believe me he plays awesome guitar…

The night started with some OCs by the band and then a 13 year old gal played some songs…it was all OK…but then came the time to Rock…They started with “The four horsemen” and then “Master of Puppets” (this is the one of the best best bestest song ever) \m/ and then “Creeping Death” this too fuckin rock…

In between there were some more OCs by the band and few songs by “The Lamb of God” and “Slayer”.

All time it was Whiskey, Beer, Headbang, BodyBang and moshpit…madarchod …maja aa gaya :D

It was a fuckin beautiful night :D

Reached home sometime back and now time to sleep as last night slept at 6 am, only for 5 hours…body and neck is already aching … hehehe but its all fine for You Gods…

Metallica… you rock \m/

Please come to India once and make my life…

Ganpati Bappa Moriya

Ganeshotsav … meaning the Ganpati Festival is one of the biggest festival in Maharashtra and specially in cities like Mumbai and Pune … though I haven’t ever been to pune in the 10 days of this fest but yeah I have been looking at the fabulous atmosphere (better word Maahol) in Mumbai from last 4 years…and believe me you gotta see it…in the first 2 years I also went to see the Ganesh Visarjan at Girgaum Beach in Mumbai…and this is the most important day of the festival…the Visarjan (immersion) … most of the offices have holidays since they are aware roads gonna be packed :D but we generally have half day :( … but whatever the important thing is to be at one the beaches or lakes where the Ganesh Visarjan takes place… and its real fun to be at beaches than being on lakes…

There are these humongous Ganesh idols from all over the Mumbai at the beaches and then THE SEA OF PEOPLE…yeah I mean it if you are lost .. you are lost…its really difficult to find your buddies back…but then that’s what forms the entire ambience…the chanting of the mantras and the hailing of Lord Ganpati “Ganpati Bappa Moriya…Pudhchya Warshi Lavkar Ya” and the people all engrossed in the arrangement that nobody gets hurt while the Big Idols are immersed in the Sea…its all so much good to watch…

I really feel that this festival meets the purpose for which it had been started by Hon. Lokmanya Tilak way back in 1893…to make people come at a common place and celebrate and get together for a common purpose forgetting all their worries and sharing all the happiness and forming a bond :)

I still remember the days in my hometown Nagpur…the Ganpati Installation at one of my friend Ashish’s place and also in Colony, just infront of our building…the music…the games arranged…Sandal (band) on the last day…I remember how Anya and Me were curious enough in my school days and while coming back from Arpit’s place in Itwari we used to see the Ganpati Installation at the various places :D

I jus love Ganeshotsav !!

Ganpati Bappa Moriya…

** few of you may get surprised to see this post…as I am an atheist but then my feelings has to do nothing with the belief in God but the emotions of people.
