Saturday Night

10 PM to 12 PM:
Niki and i went to Shweta's engagement party. Saw Animesh dance for the first time ! Free booze, excellent appetizers, even a cute girl who also danced well (I did get her phone number, although i still dont know if she is single or not).

12 PM to 1 AM:
Met up with some OLD OLD friends (seniors from IIT) in Saket. Asthana, Tau, Penta, Rajiv Rattan, Saket .. signed up to play golf with them !

1 AM to 4 AM:
I sat in a jam session for one of the best bands in delhi, Parikrama. They have been around for long time, started around when i was in college.
The drummer is Kalsi's brother in law. I can safely say that it was one of the most awesome musical experiences in my life !
This was in a studio in Hauz Khas mkt ... almost like a college gig. Only that the whisky was Johnnie Black instead of Aristocrat. And that the female groupies of old are now wives :-)
The band has been together for while now, and you expect the "tightness" in the music. But this was the first time i have seen good musicians just letting it flow .. The vocalist would start on "I still haven't found what i am looking for", but a totally different version from the original one. And on a very off beat (at least that is what it seemed to me initially). But the way the other members followed, and the way that the beat came together .. man ! Excellent joints were being passed around. The hindi word which describes the mood best is "suroor", which means something between intoxication and passion.
There was a Djembe which i promptly took over, though i think i was careful not to disturb them too much.

You can see it in these peoples faces ... they are good, they are good together, and they were really just having fun. And so was I.
