Kyaaa~?? Yay?? Woooh? Yipppeee??
Lol. I don't know how to express my excitement on experiencing my first ever concert and a concert of one of my favourite bands...Porcupine Tree. Even though I am a huge fan, I tend to have phases of being up-to-date with the current status of every band that I love.

I was driving around in the car with a friend when his cd started playing a track of PT and he nonchalantly said "Hey did you know Porcupine Tree is coming to India". That was it...My brain went into 'stand by' mode. I seriously thought he was joking. After confirming and re-confirming a million times I was convinced that he wasn't lying, to the point of his frustration am sure. Anyway I managed to rope in my bro who doesn't even listen to PT and stood in the queue for 2 hours to get my hands on the passes.

I could barely sleep the next few days and I kinda reached the venue a bit late than the scheduled time. But luckily enough I just missed the opening act and then I was in there. Around 6,000 or more people (fans or not -shrug-) all waiting for PT to start playing. My heart was racing non-stop and when they did come out, there was such a deafening roar from the crowd and I realised I was screaming too. Steven Wilson said "Namaste India" and started playing Occam's Razor followed by The Blind House. What a rush of adrenaline! I can't remember the perfect order of the setlist cause I was taken in by the music and the atmosphere and all I could do was stand in a trance at times, sing along and scream. They were beautiful. And then it ended. Then the crowd roared "We want more"..."Trains" and other random shouts...5 minutes we all stood our ground, not willing to leave till PT came out and gave us our encore and they did! Steven said "Am gonna play a song and I hope it's as popular here as it is elsewhere..This is called Trains". Wow...The crowd went into a frenzy and it was such a high. They ended with Halo and by then I had lost it completely...I screamed, jumped, sang along, head banged...and now I have a sore throat and a neck that aches with every movement,lol.

Everytime I feel the pain in my neck, I relive that moment all over again. I cannot put into words how it felt to be there..It wasn't something to describe, simply experience and I will forever remember that experience. Thank you Porcupine Tree for coming to India...We hope you decide to pay us a visit yet again!

I have this closet of mine which I normally just dump stuff into. A year or 2 later I realize that it's become a complete mess and decide to clear stuff out. And then I discover my treasure trove! I find loads of things that I have lost over the years and loads of things that were long forgotten...stuff that takes me back to my past...to the days of old! I love going through this closet..There is a bundle of emotions I encounter when I discover so many memories..happiness...sadness.. loneliness...and also wtf's! A kind of melancholy spreads through my entire being and this feeling reminds me of what I used to be,how I changed and also sometimes reasons for the change. And so every time I clean this closet, it barely ever gets clean. All it does is take me back in time..

My very own Time Machine..

Its started raining out here. Its much cooler than the sweltering heat but that alone isn't enough to make me feel any better. I absolutely hate the rains. I just find the season extremely depressing. I am at my crankiest best during the rains. And the fact that I can't seem to draw anything isn't making my mood any better. I used to love the rains once upon a time..and now I have no idea why I detest it so much. I wish there was a reason..wouldn't make me feel any better but hell at least I would know that there is a reason. Man, am so depressed. Geh
