MI'06 Peace! MI'06 MI'06 Rock On!
Had a lot of fun at Mood Indigo this time again after missing it for lots of years.

Parikrama, who have played at MI 7 or 8 times, again played their regular set. Then I was able to catch Pankaj Udas, KK and Kailash Kher. Also caught a dutch blues/jazz guitarist named Jan Akkerman who was pretty good.
Then saw a play "Sa Hi Besura" directed by Makrand Deshpande. It was a decent play but felt it was a little too long.

One of the most spectacular things I saw was the next version of lighting cigarette lighters during slow songs/ballads. When KK was performing his slow song Pal, instead of the lighters going up, hundreds of cell phones went up!!! It was so impressive seeing those cell phones flickering their tiny lights all around the open air theater and it went really well the touching song "Pal". In fact KK instead of ending with his latest hit did an encore of Pal and asked the rest of the lights to be dimmed and requested everyone to "do that thing with your cell phones". Sadly I don't have a photo of that but it was a really stunning sight to see...you can do that in the next concert you attend :)


And then there was this on the MI'06 mural... :D
Wassup!
