Kailash Kher Live Concert at Qutab Minar

Many things in life, if you want to do them, don't need a lot of money, just some effort from your side.
Well, we have heard of something like this, but we were to realize it pretty late in life, yet pretty early.
We have been going out to some unusual places recently, all the ones which we want to but still we only go to malls and come back home. We have started visiting Museums, the exhibitions, matches etc. Now, it was time for a live concert. We read about a concert, live show, by Kailash Kher being organized by Times of India at Qutab minar complex. The passes to the concert were available at Planet M outlets. So, one evening we went to the Shipra Mall outlet of Planet M and got some passes for ourselves.
We have never been to Qutab Minar itself and so didn't had an idea about the parking situation there, etc. So, we thought, we will go by auto , after parking our car at some proper parking place, may be Palika or Ansal Plaza. but, we got late and headed directly to the Qutab complex. Went inside the parking, phew it was full, and was sheer good luck for us that we were able to get out of the parking. We went ahead and parked our car on the road side where many people were parking.

Went inside, it was a long dusty walk, lot of people around. but the arrangement was pretty good with lots and lots of chair, blasting music speakers. Soon, Kailash Kher was here, he is a pretty small guy but has fantastic sense of humour. The songs he sang mesmerized all three of us,. Nanna still hums the songs sometimes and if FM is playing any of those songs, she recalls. We all enjoyed there. Went to get some tea-coffe, was on the house, I was floored. Wow, TOI.

Initially we were sitting behind, from where the singer and crew were pretty far. Later we went ahead and were standing pretty near to them. Kailash introduced all of his team members and it was pretty surprising to see Sonu Nigam's brother there also playing an instrument there.
Kailash and crew were pretty humble in all the ways and looked like the enjoyed the good swaying crowd there. It was around 70 minutes and I think he must have sung 7-8 songs.


All in all a good evening their in the lighted Qutab Minar complex, the first for us. And I hope, we have many more events, exhibitions, concerts and matches to go ahead for. Soon, the IPL matches are going to start with much fan fare, lets see, if we can make it to any of those.

till then...cheers...
