Hold your breath for heartbeats!

That was the welcoming note for the concert tonight..112 to keep the count running. And what a concert man!! All-time legends were performing:
Ustad Zakir Hussain... Tabla
Vikku Vinayakram… Ghatam
U Srinivasan…………Mandolin
Selva Ganeshan………Kanjira
Siva Mani…………….Drums
Shankar MAhadevan..Vocals

Went with Neelofer and Deepika and we had a great time. Even before the concert started we were having a gala time. There was a war waging right in front of us. The deal was that the seats were available on a first-cum-first basis. The row ahead of us that could roughly seat around 15 people was being occupied by only a guy and a girl sitting at each end. Apparently they had reserved the seats for their friends who had not reached the venue yet. Therein reached a family of around 7 and began to occupy those seats. Now is when all the excitement started. Cat-fight in its true element. The girl who had reserved the seat was an NRI with an accent, mind it. The argument provided by the family was that they were already there and they could occupy the seats. But then our NRI babe wouldn’t agree to that as it was unfair as she had reached well before time to reserve them. Where are your friends asked the old man. They are out parking. All 14 of them? Hhmmmm … point to be noted, I say. I am an NRI, you know. So what? Well out there, we have better manners…(this was amusing) So why did you have to come all the way to India, you might have stayed back there… Neelofer and I were bursting out …Hillarious..
All said and done, 3/4th of the family managed to occupy the seats and from somewhere another family came and took over as well… At the end of it all, who was politically correct??... hhmmm Good question, Neelofer… Are you always this smart or do you do it just to impress me?;-)

Well coming to the politically correct statement....I guess the Indians were correct and not the NRI :P but the Indian girl was a manner less chick. ...I am not being racist but some chicks of that cast(u kno which :P) are like that.... Wat do u think babe?

Well neither were correct i think.. cos, these very Indians who were opposing the seat reservation were holding the seats for their own family members...
