Being Thirteenth time in @shreyaghoshal concert is not less than my first ever witness of The Singing kuyil in my life...
As usual.. The very Unplanned one.. Till the night before actual 23 December 2016, Kolkata concert, I have had no idea of putting me into one of those audience rows of kalamandir in Shakespeare Sarani π
Thanks a tonn to my beloved half, my dear Husband for giving me surprises in recent with full love, full josh. I love you now even more.. π
Phew! Booking flight tickets to kolkata only a 12hrs ago soo noo worries queries in packing early morning with both Sons this time. Main motto behind this mini Kolkata tour was Mukil, the little son of us as he was sobbing for not taking him with us for #ShreyaOnMtvUnplugged last month to Mumbai. He cried. We made. Just to pamper our sons as they are not less than shreya for our love(haha... May this line vanish from her eyes if she reading into this post).. Unplanned things work well for me perhaps, not much in our baggage or plan.. If you know me from twitter you must be wondering how I missed my first ever flight to kolkata for a connection flight to Guawhati last year.. It's always special and never going to commit same mistake again.. Took GoAir for first time which was. .delayed half an hour more around 11am so we reached Kolkata around 2. 30pm. BTW loved the my second visit to kolkata.. **Just for her**.. I dunno why I have got weird feelings that she may reduce /skip totally performing live for some days from now and that's why am not wishing to miss the possibility opportunities now. Only for now. Not every time I fly or been able to fly for her but most of us among #SGfamily desires to be in her each and every concerts by heart at least.
Leaving own stories aside...
I went to the venue straight from my room around 4pm as how she sings
"Jaisi ho... Waise hi.. Aajaaoo ...." It literally stuck with my tongue too..
Haha.. Havnt got time to refresh. And I was looking horrible.. And those odd 22kms frm room to venue made me even more tired. Who cared for makeupping (usually I don't do too much to make over my face or hair) it doesn't matter.. I have my husband as my boyfriend forever.. π
Around 6pm it was while entering gates of #Kalamandir collected my pre-booked passes of front row (for me front rows are always remind me of those fabulous scenes of Raajpaart Rangadurai where Heroine always finding/hiding her real wealth in fond of front rows just to adore Sivaaji ganeshan dramas.. *Tears* while mentioning this specifically) from ticket counter... Happy to see familiar faces of #SGfamily standing ahead of Entire Queue closer to entrance doors.. Haha.. Of course they are my soul I never feel new to any of corner/places that exist In this world.. I feel home just cos of Shreya and her hard core honest admirers. They are integral part of my /family as well ππ
Debdatta, Soumyadas( @loveushreyadi), @Susmita_SG, Chiranjeet Titas(haha recent lovebirds frm tweeple into couple after meeting in twitter Just cos of being shreya fans. God bless them) all were excited for Shreya and surprised to see mee on my appearance along with my family and that was cute to give warm hugs on demand. Lol. TBH. I loved these kids and shared few cute things of #ShreyaOnMtvUnplugged moments and left them their mouth wide opened and made my family to stand In Q as we don't wished to mess these kids/people waited in Q by joining them to enter indoors earlier .. We followed the regular Q. But I was stood with them to have nice chat and honestly I loved to b bounded by them. Still I miss Sohini and bipasha and Riya and Rosy and Ria and many more regular bong tweeps as they could not come for concert as it was early for them on a working day. And so missed meeting them. Phew!! @loveushreyadi was much keen in knowing the expressions of #ShreyaOnMtvUnplugged but time was short... Wish we could have spoke much about it. Maybe next time. OK?
Saw Hrishikesh, CO singer of Shreya on concerts arrived by walk with his wife. And we were asked to move in single in Q so I joined with my family standing in mid of Q.. Got Besht viewable seats for four of us my family on fourth row.never worried. I always prefer side corners of indoor hallπ
This hall I must say Quite closer to the stage than Music academy of Chennai (been three r four times earlier) and every seats r much closer to stage. Loved it.
Around 6.30pm One of the organizers gave beautiful warm welcome to audience giving intro of kalamandir as it's 73rd Annual celebration since inaugurated and Shreya 's first ever live show happened on the same stage on year 2002 and how regularly she performs in kalamandir and gestures to receive her back now being topmost popular and talented singer among Current Indian film industry singing and receiving various awards in almost every regional languages.. ππ
Hrishikesh appeared onto stage sang few Hindi songs so beautifully. Audience got lit up with spirits.. Amused on seeing lights off all in a sudden.. (ahha we know A Storm is getting ready to hit Oceanic Heart of audience, Named as Shreya Ghoshal)
A voice that came from a long distance from backstage Amidst of darkness... Some illusion in me made me to feel as I was trapped in a black hole of universe where I saw stars alone closer to my visions and by every passing seconds it's getting into much closer with Divine hummings /Aalaaps( which you can hear, only in her concerts, it's nowhere In any of songs ) gradually increasing the tone and spirit inspiring to see the familiar face belong to the Voice still flowing into stage from backstage... Ahh this feelings enough to make the entire world stand still.. Shreyaaaa...... It is... Appeared into the stage Graciously still with voice(of messenger) humms as chants are only from beyond Universe... Took few more seconds... Lights are on... Began "Mohe Rang do laaaaall..." ππππππ
That's it...
Audience are muted..
Shreya voice alone immersed in every soul so pure, blended with peace and as soul healer..
This. This.. This moment... Is enough for me... I am happy to die with this moment... Tiredness all gone without trace in me after longggg journey. Awestruck... Left speechless neither got mind to work to applaud her presence on entry eyes went wet... Ardently Adoring her this way my heart elated. (still in search of better words to adore her but I don't have got biigggg brains as you all known) and so didn't wished to disturb her by poking my hands or face into her own world.. Lived her presence in front of my eyes closer closer.. She sang Deewani mastani following Mohe rang do laal... She acknowledged her favorite SGfamily gang.. As we all were on same row.. The kids said "We love you didi.." Her Expressions were so adorable and she replied them "I love you too.." here comes my husband screamed with frozen voice of cold "We TOO.."
Shreya Got surprised to see us, me and my family so came closer to our end,her both hands strongly pointed toward us.. She was like OMG!!!! so adorably elongated to speak out "YOU.... YOU GUYS ARE TOO SPECIAL FOR ME, VERY VERY SPECIAL LOVE TO YOU" with Cool voice.. She got EMOTIONAL to see us and could feel it in her tone itself that I will cherish it forever in my life.. And we were screaming even more.. I sent her some flying kisses and thanks in our Tradional way for Gesturing our Presence, the least I can pay in return πππππππ
Shreya recollected how she came to kalamandir when her first movie got released to perform.. Elated on coming back to such beautiful place of art and loved "something spec audience.." spoke lot in Hindi as I kept on blinking ππ she Sang Agar tum miljao.... Expressing her love towards this song with which she remembered /Recalled beginning of her career initial songs And she elatedly gave intro for jadhu Hai nasha Hai.. And welcomed audience to kalamandir exclaiming privileged for being there... Enof.. One by one got life back and cheered.
Finishing jadhu Hai nasha Hai... flute here was played well not to be missed.. ππ
Kids from every corner shared "We love you.."
She sang Tribute to ARRahman songs praising them how much she have listened to his songs growing with them... in cassettes of those days.. Few of her favorites beginning from "Ishq Bina kya marna Yaaraa.. Ishq Bina kya jeena..." to"Rojaaaa "aalaaps to "Jiya jale jaanjale" to "kaise Mujhe tummilgayi" to "Tu meri dost Hai.." to "saans .." carried her favorites of her own songs..... She paid listening to audience requests the most.. She asked "Singer ko Rehne doon" and again.. And said sorry that was bad joke giggled like mad... ππ who wants to count... I always loved to leave her with her plans despite having requests will definitely leave confusions within her from her plans which are best than us anytime... Bas I loved watching her so silent.. πππ
I was singing along with her "Manwa laage.." she was shocked and surprised to see mee too singing (often she watched my MOUTH SO CLOSER FROM STAGE MAN!!!) along with her without flaws.. She loved to see me this way and had her visions the most of times and every one around me was looking me whenver she expressed her love through her eyes to me closer.. I feel proud and she made it actually for me to feel soopar special π I felt shy whenever she caught me singing with her.. It was really amusing to see her giving extra care to this poor soul too while she singing on stage for hundreds of heads/souls other than me meanwhile. Phew. She is something else I hardly could describe about what she means to me to her...π
Kids again screaming "we love you.." one by one she loved π sang "fataafatiii.." lol just the word. She kept speaking a lot in bong I have empty ideas..
https://youtu.be/WsMMMegBhUY
She sang Samjhawan, She took requests of "Gaaye jaa.." Jus hummed two lines without words not refusing with requests despite unremembering wordsπππ
After Hrishikesh singing few songs
Shreya came back running to stage... Singing "KOLKATTAAA.."
As she promised started with Tribute section...
Chandni ka chand ho..
Kuch ajeeb thi ye Shaam ke..
Kabhi Kabhi mere dil mein Khayal aata Hai..
Aapke nazron ne samjha..
Ab to Hai tumse har kushi apne..
(Gestures to Lata mangeshkar...
Singing..)
Kya jaanu sajan..
Aaa jaane jaan..
Piya Tu abtoh aajaa..
Dum maro Dum..
She actually **danced** with exact essence of movements too to original songs.. Such care n every Lil gestures she paid while singing these beautiful songs to leave whole elderly audience taking back to their early ages to dwell in without disappointing them for sure. They loved living it whole heartedly. Thanks won't be enough to tell shreya for making their evening. πππ
Adding as there is no deadline to take requests as far as nobody feels hungry, nobody feels sleepy, not crying like babies, sang Zoobi doobi,.. Radha on the dance floor,
Said "only 63.75% of audience ..Alone singing and alive, I did a research with equations with experts. I want all the bathroom singers to join, Wat happend to ur riyaaz u all done these many days .. I want it to com out today " And carried OOO LALA.. . I don't want to fill my blog extending.. π
"Singaar ko Rehane do..."
She gave intro over two minutes.. As here you go for video ..
https://youtu.be/ASSqG1KKDDA
Singingly" Thank you "for audience..
Taking more requests of Devdas from every corner" thik ache " haha ppl interrupted her from beginning Raabta twice.. She kept humming n said OK n stopped and started finally.. π
She sang Raabta, (haha I loved the way how she took breath in between words/lyrics is unusual ones from regular concerts) ... Transformed to Chori kiya re jiyaπ
She wondered at audience saying "usually kyaa baat kyaa baat sur mein ghaa rahe Hai.. aaj Sach mein Sach bolungi.. there used to be few singing on 13th note during end of concerts and thers not such note existed though.. Today I am not even finding one.. Why you all are so Perfect, so Pucca..??!! " Asked us to round of applauds to ourselves π
Debu( @debdatta18) stood up and asked for MUNBE VAA... Straight to shreya... Shreyaa said "aila..Tamil song?? Kya problem Hai?? (spoke lot with problems I dnt understood) Regional songs in Kolkata.. Problem hojayega.. Phir main wahan pe kya gaaungi??"
Came to my end Seeing me with
** secret smiles **
"TAMIL IN KOLKATA?"
Kept on smiling graciously...
I said
"If you are not going to sing Munbe vaa, I am not going back to Chennai.."
Lool people around us looking like as what is happening here between these!!!
I don't even know whether she was able to hear me or not... But staring at me while speaking of munbe vaa... Sang "LEJA LEJAAA RE...." and POINTED ME WHILE SINGING "NEE" MOIYYE MANNMELA...
ππππππ
I still wondered while seeing her why and how she took leja leja instead getting heap of requests from #SGfamily of munbe vaa
She is really An Angel...
Instead of COMING IN FRONT (munbe vaa..)
Shreya loves me to TAKE HER (leja leja re) !!!!!!!
I could not believe this way how she dealt with me.. I feel extra special on receiving her special love.. It's cozy as well comfortable for me to breathe. She definitely knows how to treat and deal with me straight. She feels me as a kid to her still.. ππ
She gave intro(she sounded soo cute and sweettest while saying instruments name too, especially sang" flute "in her voice πππ) of her band after finishing sunn Raha Hai na Tu... (she giggled at beginning yaara so unusually that sounded so cute to see live her doing this π)... Yaaraaπ said Thank you to kalamandir from Bottomest of her heart for bringing her there.. ✌️
She took requests of "Tumi robe nirobhe"
and monjulika time... mere dholna sunn to end the night kept on saying lot only in bong I understood only
" ANANDH "ππππ
"Thank you, good night..." by singing only to audience..πππ
2Hours n 50mins came to end... Shreya and her dad was facilitated adding gestures on their commitment for being there.. And my heart was... Wat it came to end.. These two and half hours coming to an end... Having no idea on her future concerts in Chennai to see further... Expects though...
Woww... Seriously I couldn't find her manager this time so unusual to feel.. The first time since year 2009 I havnt saw him in shreya concert ever. So she stayed backstage for a while too without tensions.Could see the happiest face of her after ending concert staying on stage giving end notes to audience that never happened earlier as she always used to go marathon from stage before finishing her last line of last song.. Anytime. Is it a healthy improvement in her concerts..?? π
Once again thanks a lot for all the well wishing souls, for reaching this line of this post πππππ
Let mee meet You all soonest than you think with another Shreya Ghoshal concert Post π
