Jagjit ji live at Bengaluru

Rohit from Delhi has tried to call me while i have missed his call some how, later when i saw my mobile notifying about his miss call, i pinged him, he asked me to check my mail. There was a big promotional poster for Ganesh Utsav and it was nice to know that Jagjit Singh is also coming for a live show.

Now the task is to get tickets, the first thing i did is forwarded the information to all other JS fans here in Bengaluru. I asked one of friend try to get passes from TOI office at MG Road but he was not successful. finally a day before concert i got a call from Prasad that he has got concert passes.

finally the day came and i reached the venue at around 5:30PM. Show was expected to begin at 7. Prasad also joined after some time. It was big gift for me that he had got VVIP tickets , O great and both of us were on the front rows eagerly waiting for Jagjit to come.

around 7:30 he was there after lighting the lamp near to Ganesh's Idol he was all set on to stage. and a great start with "hosh waloon ko khabar kya " ... followed by "aadmi aadmi ko kya dega"..



Jagjit ji was not well with having cough problem .. but he still he was getting all appreciation from the crowd, there were some some 7 to 8 thousand people, Abhinav Upadhyay on tabla and Deepak Pandit on violin present excellent jugalbadi which made audience stunned...



There some more good numbers like "kagaz ki kashti", "ahista ahista", "koi fariyaad". He made audience to sing along on "tum ko dekha to yeh khayaal aaya" and a lot more ...

Great thanks for Prasad and his friend, who has arranged VVIP pass...
