unplanned sunday activity

last sunday was a nice sunday relaxing at home, lazying around reading, watching TV basically chilling,when my friend calls up at 5 and says, jijaji gave me sunidhi chauhan live performance VIP pass, its today at 7 are you game for it...I jumped off the bed (well am not a sunidhi chauhan fan or something just that seeing a live perofmace was much better than what i was already doing that day)got ready and in an hours time or so we were seated in our ' VIP seats'. (ok okay i'll stop emphasizing on the VIP seats...its just that i never got a VIP pass before :) )

The show started, was hosted by MC Vik, and he sang kangna .. then he introduced a new singer sonali who sang pari hoon mai followed by another new singer Ayub Patel who sang my fav 'chaand sifarish' then came the queen of item songs with a very high spirit and lot of 'josh'( bajaj mobike were the sponsorers hence josh), wow she looked simple and nice. Though she sings all item songs (well most of them) she was very dressed very very decent.Reminded me of how soon time flies its just around 9 years back, we went to see antakshari (live) and there Sunidhi had just come as a filler she sang a number or 2 and she was a child performing in frock, and now she was the main attraction and ran the entire show by herself with her voice and dancing moves and grooves. she sang around 9-10 songs to name a few 'meri mummy ko nahi pata', 'dhoom','parineeta's song',ishq kabhi kariyon na, bidi jalaile, munna bhai's dekhle, her latest song from Don etc

The crowd was totally involved in singing and dancing, and it was not that only young folks had come, there were people of all age groups, boys were dancing like crazy and there was also a little boy standing on the chair and dancing and when sunidhi noticed him and waved him back he was overwhelmed (you should have checked his face)
