Today was a different day not because it is the 153rd day of this year (for those of you who are still scratcing their heads trying to figure out the date its June 2nd) but because how this day made me do certain things I would never normally do.
What started as a very ordinary and to an extent boring day ended to be one of the more fulfilling days. After getting up horribly late and having one of the laziest afternoons in recent times, I had got ready to go for my cross-country walks ( a desperate attempt to burn up those extra calories, or maybe more of an escape route to make me feel less pathetic about my growing waistline). Well I was just about to leave when I got a call from one of my friends who actually had got his long awaited car delivered and was proposing if I am up for a drive. I could already see a silver lining :-). Incidentally Aerosmith was performing LIVE that day in Bangalore (and even though I never made a sincere attempt to get tickets for the show) suddenly the whole idea of going to the show (of course without ticket) seemed quite appealing. And the whole idea of driving a new car on Sat night in Blore roads (incidentally thats the only time Blore roads are a bit empty) was just too much for me. So off we went, 3 of us for the concert and after some moving around reached the concert venue. Well we started walking towards the stage, expecting anytime a cop would spring up asking for tickets and we might as well have to end our adventure there. To my surprise none came, we kept walking in till the point where we were next to the VIP entrance of the concert ( a freaking 1800 bucks). And what served as the perfect icing on the top was the fact that the show wasnt over and we got to see them performing arguably their most famous number "I dont wanna miss a thing".
Well I am an optimist but I guess this exceeded all my expectations. We returned after the show feeling like warriors after winning a battle, proud of our accomplishment. Well that was not all, after the show we ended up going to one of my friend's place (who was leaving for US the same night). We reached at 1, scared her mom who mistook us for some thugs :-) helped him pack up a bit and after exchanging the normal pleasantries finally reached home (ya this time I meant my home sweet home) at around 2:30.
Incidentally this was the first time I properly drove a car in namma bengaluru........
