Raman Negi performing “Choo Lo”, a song he’d written for and sung when he was with The Local Train. This is, I was told, the first time he’s performed this song anywhere after going solo about 5 years ago.

Just listen to the crowd go nuts!!!

New World Order. Mumbai, May 21, 2026. #khachaak

There’s this one spot on the Western Express Highway, where I always see this cable weighed down by scores of pigeons. And yes, those are more pigeons behind, atop that barricade. Yesterday, traffic came to a standstill for long enough for me to take a picture. #khachaak #bombombombay

This was an evening almost 35 years in the making for me, personally. Def Leppard’s Adrenalize was the album that opened up the gates to heavy music for me. Up until I picked up the tape (last photo) in a tiny store in Fort Kochi, I was mostly listening to Michael Jackson, Wham, Madonna etc. And while I still love pop, Adrenalize, back then, opened up my ears to a new (to me) sound.

And now, three decades and some later, to be able to see that band live on stage was an experience I wasn’t quite prepared for. While I always knew they’d be good live, I honestly didn’t expect them to be so so good. The production, the setlist, and of course, the performance – everything was on point. A slightly older than usual audience also meant there wasn’t as much pushing and shoving as one might see otherwise. (Bad necks and weary backs, you see.)

Shoutout to BMS for a near flawless experience. (Your mileage might vary.) I love Jio World Garden as a venue because of how easy it is to get in and out. The parking and loos help too.
