U2 Concert

At last Finally i happen to attend U2 concert on 24th @ Giants Stadium.... I am really confused how to start the post and what all should i be mentioning in this post... as i do not want to just lengthen the post :-0


So we (my Friend and his wife) reached the stadium parking lot by 5:30….. we came to now that we are too early (which is not like a true Indian :-0) ….


In US any such event is a full day family event… parking lot do open by 8:00 am and people do Grill have fun listen to music and drink and by the time all would have already reached a trans state (thanks to the drinks)


So we finally reached our seats by 7:30pm… centre stage was really amazing….



The evening started with MUSE, as they entered the stage by 8:00 and started playing nice numbers,,, as this was my first concert I was already fealing the pulsating heavy music…



And by 9:15 U2 (Bono / Edge / Larry / Adam) entered and as soon Larry hit the first beat on drums all (84,000+) people we on their feet… and screaming out load

So for the next 2 hours and 15 mins one after another great songs was played…

Few highlights that I would love to mention:
- They did dedicate a song to all the people who protest and lost their lives post IRAN election
- Then a song was dedicated to “Aung San Syu kyi” (Burmese leader) who is under house arrest for most of the last 20 years, they had more ten hundred volunteers with her mask walking down the stage.
- And a lovely video speech which was given by Desmond Tutu (A South African Nobel laureate) Speech was more asking all human to be ONE and strive to stop all suffering and make this a place a beutiful

When the show was to end… no one from the crowd would have wanted the evening to end….

So finally after the evening i am one of the music follower of U2…


This is the video which is shot with my Phone (sorry for the quality and after 10 seconds in the video you would have to tilt you head one side to view it :( its more like me being armature in shooting a video )

I joined GYM... best thing to happen to me!!!!

hmmmm.... me what to tell about.... i am a person who has never been to a GYM till this age (28 years and 175 days).....

It was not like i do run away from the concept of being healthy is one of the best gift one can gift himself... i guess (still not sure why) the reason i never happen to join a gym, would be i was not able to convince myself with the idea of going to GYM and doing exercise and try to match up with some one who is busily pumping iron or who had ran across the country on a treadmill :-0

Some background story... my brother is complete opposite to me.... he used to go to gym religiously 6 days a week and pump as much iron he can.... he used to visit a local gym... when i asked him why do you not join a the latest trendy gym which showcases a dozen of treadmill at the entrance… he used to say “Bhai” they do not have large variety of dumbbell’s which will motivate me to pump more (he used a 55 pound for his triceps, that roughly the weight which is allowed as a check-in baggage in an International Airlines)

So finally I joined this gym (NYSC) which is just across my office (I have been walking across the same street from last 24 months)
Day1: I was wandering in the GYM as if a kid is visiting to a new play area and he is not sure how to play with them… so I ended up doing swimming

Day2: I guess this is it !!!! I should get a personnel trainer for few days so that he will walk me across and make me comfortable using all the equipments

Day3 : I was introduced to a trainer “Karl Scott” and guess what… he used to be working in IT industries till 6 years back… this helped me a bit in a way as I share the same work background….

Day4: And now Karl made me realize what all I cannot do and what I can do….

So its been roughly a week since I joined… and as of today I do have some sore pain hehehe….. I guess I have to pass through it….

I wish to myself that I am motivated enough and do continue….

I guess i do not end in this way :-0

Attending U2's concert on Thursday (24/09)

Okay the months September is on a roll for me.... first it stared with convincing 7 people to watch "US Open Women’s Final".... at first all were skeptical about the seats which we ended up booking... and later we were also haunted by people telling that before you are comfortable, the women’s match would be over...

During all this time i used to take 10 long breathe and would hmm "koi nahi but still we will be watching a match live" that more then enough guys....

And trust me all are really happy that finally we all up for the match live....
Okay i guess i had a long running commentary for the match....

And the second this which is to happen on Thursday (Sept 24) i am going with Along with my old roomy to watch U2 concert (360degree tour)
Again I am sure I would be spell bound after the event....

And while writing this post i am readin all the review's from last weeks U2 performace @ Toronto...

US OPEN Woman FINAL 2009

So finally the day has arrived, we all friend have geared up and were just waiting for this day, this is it we are to watch live 2009 US Open Woman final... at Arthur Ashe Stadium

And the match is to be played between
Kim Clijsters (BEL) "unseeded"
Caroline Wozniacki (Denmark) (9)

US Open started on 31st Aug and was to conclude on Sept 13
But to the un-interupted rain which started Thur (8th) evening did not allow any match as per schedule till Friday evening...

We all were worried that the Final originally due to Saturday should not be pushed to Monday which would have be bad... but finally the semi's concluded Sat and we are to watch a nice match today evening....

"Kim" as she was a wildcard entry to US Open, as she was not playing tennis from last 2 years... and she came back in full form... on her way to Final... she ousted both William sister...

Wozniacki... She is an young sensational... who happen to end the dream run od Melanie Oudin (a.k.a -- The Upset Queen)

I wish we all are able to witness a great Final...
