A night to remember!

Here I am This is me There’s no where else on earth I’d rather be..
I fell in love with this song when I listened it for the first time. Bryan Adams, the name is enough. If anyone loves music then Bryan is inevitable. Over the years, I have become an ardent fan of this intriguing personality.

Thanks to Makarand, who called me for the live concert of Bryan Adams, I could experience the masterpiece of music. The high water mark of the show was his solo performance. The acoustic concert was convened in San Francisco, a city with great alacrity. I would say San Francisco is cleaner and smaller version of New York.;) It’s difficult to drive through the ups and downs of the city but don’t miss these roads if you love driving. :)Fortunately, I could drive successfully all the times with my heart bumping. The most alluring site is the golden gate bridge bathing in the mist.

Bryan Adams started the concert with the same song, Here I am! One by one, he covered most of his admired collections. Straight from the heart, Summer of ’69, Cloud # 9, Somebody, etc. Like Swades movie, the next song is really close to my heart and I think I have listened this song a million times.. :)
Oh - thinking about all our younger years there was only you and me, We were young and wild and free…. It isn't too hard to see we're in heaven..

Many people sing songs and write the scripts but the most amazing thing about Bryan is how he plays guitar. Incredible! More than two years ago, I learned some basic concepts of playing guitar and I know how much practice and dedication it needs for mastery. ;) Albeit, Bryan did not sing some of my favorite songs such as Everything I do and Wherever you go whatever you do I will be right here.., it was a night to remember and cherish. It was a dream came true!

Indeed, some birds are born with golden feathers. :) From January to December.. Let's make a night to remember all life long.

स्वप्न

आज पुन्हा रस्त्याच्या मध्यावर मी उभा
समजेना कुठली वाट पकडु?
पुन्हा धुसर आणि अद्न्यात ह्या वाटा
ह्यातुन कसा माझा मार्ग शोधु?

निघालो होतो काही वर्षांपुर्वी ह्या प्रवासावर
डोळ्यात जग जिंकण्याचे स्वप्न घेऊन
लढत होतो स्वबळावर
मनात निर्धार आणि रक्तात ताकद घेऊन

विचारांचा मगोवा घेत
आठवण आली जुन्या वाटांची
दाही दिशांच्या संकटांना सामोरे जात
सापडली होती वाट इन्द्रधनुश्याची

आयुश्याच्या समस्यांना उत्तरे देत
वाट मात्र सुरु होताच संपली
कुठे गेल्या ह्या यशाच्या वाटा
जणु सगळ्या कुलुपांची चावी हरवली

अपेक्षाभंग झाल्या, स्वप्नं तुटली
जुन्या वाटा सोडल्या आणि नविन वाट पकडली
मृत्युलेख लिहायला मला आवडत नाही
भ्याड होऊन युध्ह सोडणे मला जमणार नाही

जिद्द आहे जीवंत आणखी
जग जिंकण्याचे स्वप्न मेले नाही
मान्य आहे मोडुन पडलोय, परन्तु संपलो नाही
संपेन ही कदाचित, .... परन्तु लढणे सोडणार नाही.

P.S: It's just a poem :)

Umm Starbucks..

“The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino.”

A dialogue from You’ve got mail, one of my favorite movies. I love watching this movie and I bet you can’t find anyone as charming as Meg :-)

Cappuccino… In recent months, Starbucks has become a favorite pastime for me. It’s one of those places where I can spend hours without looking at the time. Although I am not a great coffee lover, I do enjoy trying different coffee types and flavors at Starbucks. Today, I am a big fan of Starbucks! Sometimes you don’t like the things at first sight but as time plays the game, you start liking the things. When I landed to this extreme west of the world, I didn’t like green tea. But, today I usually have 3-4 cups of green tea daily at my office.

Starbucks Vanilla Café Latte – I simply love it. Café Mocha is good but a bit stronger than Café Latte. French Roast and Italian roast are the strongest of all! Ambience plays an important role in any place to make it out of the world! Starbucks is no exception to this rule - Great soothing music, with pristine smell of great taste. I still remember my first experience at Starbucks when I saw a charming, beautiful young lady, with turquoise eyes, at the counter. Eventually, I couldn’t resist myself praising her eyes.. May be this is the reason that started loving Starbucks ;-)

All in all, it’s a wonderful place for hang out - Great music, wonderful coffee and charming ambiance!
