Pea Pod - A taste of everyday life

On your mark, get set...go! Soon it's going to be time to welcome one of the greatest rockers of our time to India. Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits. To think of it, it's an uncanny coincidence that two of my all time favourite rockers come to India back to back. For those who don't know, there is this link between Sting and Dire Straits too. Sting featured in the very popular song of Dire Straits - Money for Nothing. He mouthed the 'I want my MTV...' The next time you listen to the song, make sure you're all ears. So now that I've been stung, it's time for me to be in dire straits. How long, how long, Markie, how long has it been? How long you gonna keep me wondering... How long before you shoot My love is strong... How long? Not long...The waiting stops on the 5th of March.

I know, I know! This is the second time that Sting is being mentioned in my blog. Frankly, I just can't get out of the hangover or maybe I'm badly stung. Whatever it is, he's back in this little space of mine - small stage! The day I read in the papers about Sting coming to India, I had made up my mind to go for his concert, wherever it might be! I wanted to live up to being a Sting fan. The destination was Bangalore and Bangalore it would be. I got my travel tickets booked and forced my very reluctant brother to accompany me ( He was later glad I dragged him along!). Bought the tickets to the concert and was all geared up to go! My mother and my sisters found it funny that I was so passionate about watching a singer and would travel all the way to Bangalore for him. Can Pea 'BEE' be far from a Sting? Last week on this day, my brother and I were on the train. We reached Bangalore the next day - the day of the concert. I was going to be staying with my cousin. She wa

He wasn't an alien to anyone here. He didn't have to send any SOSs to us. He just sent so much of his sacred love that I'm in love with him and so were all present there. No one can ever lose faith in the man called Sting. The Palace Ground in Bangalore was like a field of gold - so many of Sting fans all over the place. Every breath he took, every move he made, the crowd was watching him with awe! At 53, this man did not look fragile, in fact it looked like he'd live a thousand years! I'm am so glad I went there and would like to thank Sting for making it one of the brand new days in my life :-)
