7th March... Sunday Eve... Springs in its full swing....Cool Breeze... An Awesome Setting for the Awesome Event to happen...
Par ye do kaminey... Shalabh n Mayank.. No decision till last moment (highly tired, busy bees).. After high discussions, they both finally agreed to attend the concert.
But what the hell... Entry closed before 7.00pm(as we came to know) and we reached there by 7.45pm. A good mob of students waiting to get in.. Thanks to some good students (who used their sources) and Uday Singhta Sir that we were finally permitted to get in... Thank God..
Finally after high drama we at last entered the campus for concert...
EUPHORIA
Euphoria is a state of mind in hypomania where they say that creativity is as its best.
Euphoria were among the first to bring rock culture to India. they mixed Electric Guitar with traditional instruments like the Tabla, Dholak and Sitar to create mesmerizing effect. With Dr. Palash Sen (yeah.. he is MBBS, a gynaecologist) as its lead singer and the mind behind this band, Euphoria is also decorated by Benjamin Pinto (Benny - Man with Long Hairs on Keys), Debajyoti Bhaduri (DJ - a Bassist and Acoustic Guitarist), Rakesh Bhardwaj (Percussionist), Prashant Trivedi (Tabla), Ashwini Verma (Tullu - The powerful drummer) and Hitesh Madan (Rikki - The Cute Guitarist).
Concert
I got late to attend the beginning of the show. But by the time I reached there Palash Sen was up there on the stage performing. Am I really in my college... Man this is great to see Euphoria live in front of your eyes - Performing and that too in IMS (my dear friends from IMS will get this line).
There was Rikki on the Left Side, Benny on Right Side, Tullu far in the middle, Prashant and Rakesh on the Far Left Corner and Polly the Great right in front singing. DJ was on the right hand on Polly.
Some of the memorable moments were the Special Jugalbandi between Tullu and Polly, the soft romantic song with Mobile Phones of the crowd lighting and swinging in the air, the Don performance by Benny, the special Tabla by Prashant and the Maaeri & Dhoom Pichuk by Polly. I specially loved his "Lai Meri Pat Rakhiyo Bala". This is one of my fav songs and I loved it when Euphoria performed it in their own way.
I was just falling short of few steps to be in front. Suddenly there was some sort of disturbance in Crowd. Ahh!! This gave us a huge space and we came up right in front. Than I shot some wonderful pics of Euphoria. (Check out on my Picassa Album)
Initially we enjoyed to the tunes of Euphoria... but it was not possible to stand still and listen songs... We came back in open and then danced to our hearts...
Over there I met Prabhat, Shahbaz, Vivek, with their friends dancing like weirds... Novil Choudhary showed his break dance skills. Shalabh with his some special leg dance skills was rocking. And Tuchha (Shivam Mohan Sharma) with his punjabi moves. Except Mac, everybody showed their dance skills.... Kabhi dance nahi kar sakta, sirf Cricket khilvao isse.
After enjoying, dancing, jumping, shouting and doing lots of other crazy stuffs, the concert came to end. We had our dinner in the Mess, chit-chatted with some friends and finally came back to our rooms driving scooter without headlight.
Today morning, 8th March, when I woke up I found my voice lost due to unlimited shouting, and legs paining hard. By noon, I felt that my whole body was paining as if I have just done a lot of exercise. Yeah after all I did a lot of it..

Lyrics - Aage Jaane Ram Kya Hoga
Hey-e-ey aa re meri dhadkan aa re
Chaand ke hain sang sitaare
Saath rehtein hain woh saare main akela re
Khilkhilaati hain woh nadiyaa, nadiyaa mein hai ek naiyaa,
Naiyaa ka main hoon khiwaiyyaa kyon akela re
Ab aa bhi jaa sab ko bataa kya tera mera naataa re
Tum ho meri main tumhaara
Chhotaa sa sansaar humaaraa
Aage jaane Ram kyaa hogaa
Kehtaa hai jo kahe zamaanaa
Tera mera pyaar puraanaa
Aage jaane Ram kyaa hogaa
Jaise diyaa aur baati, saare sukh dukh ke hum saathi
Behki purvaiyaa hai gaati main tumhaaraa re
Ho...Raat meri din hain tere, Tere aansun ab hain mere
Pyaar ke honge sawere na ghabraanaa re
Ab na sharmaa sab ko bataa kya tera mera naataa re
