Love movies or not, WAZIR is a must watch!!

8th January 2016.

Good morning friends. How are you all? So it has been exactly a week today since new year. Everything is still great.
So somehow, me and few of my friends managed to get first day first show tickets for 'Wazir'. Believe me or not, Vidhu Chopra sir has portrayed a masterpiece. Let me begin with the cast, Amitabh Bachchan sir, Farhan Akhtar, Neil Nitin Mukesh & Aditi Rao Hydari. The casting itself is a dynamite. And with John Abraham appearing in a cameo role, is just like a cherry on the top. The plot is perfect. The action is perfect. Songs are beautiful as well. Each actor has done a brilliant job! And a legend like Amitabh Bachchan undoubtedly makes the film legendary.
And yes one more thing I'd love to mention. My father, Pradipto Sengupta played the Mandolin, Rubab and Oud in the Background music of this film. You can listen to his playing in many parts of the movie. You can visit my father's website here.
Friends, 'Wazir' is definitely much more than just a one time watch. In fact I'm sure I'm going to watch it again. You all will undoubtedly love the film. Do not miss it.
Thanks for reading.

Limitless Friendship Proven!

5th January 2016

Hello friends!
How are you all? Hope you all are doing really great! So I was wondering what could I possibly share today? And then I recalled an amazing experience of mine from the 2nd January 2016.
So it was the 2nd day of new year and adrenaline was still pumped up! (It's the same till now)Anyway a person called me up in the first week of December notifying this information that he wanted me to perform solo in a get together show. It was his 50th birthday celebration and he wanted the evening to be musical. So I was all psyched! Somehow we met up and decided the songs. Songs were all hindi old classics from the the 60's an 70's! So anyway I practiced the songs and I was all ready for the evening. The evening arrived and then I realised that these were a bunch of friends who were of the same age. They all were turning 50 and they were having a family. They all grew up together, played together, supported each other, they literally shared life together. And when I say family it was a huge family, built with friendship, love and affection. They were childhood friends. One of the friends had organised the complete event. He had nicely made slideshow with all old pictures when they all were in their 20s and 30s. I then realised that these friends were done living half of their respective lives, but the influence of each other's friendship was so strong back then, that they all are a family now. Yes they do not meet daily, they all are professionals and are also busy in their respective lives. But when they met, they virtually became teenagers again. They sang songs from their young times, recalled all their old memories, joys, sadness, ups and downs. The evening ended up being all emotional but good emotional. When I saw this kind of love and friendship among these people, I just hope that, 30 years from now, me and my friends share the same lovely bond of love and make a great family. This was one great experience for a lifetime. Yes I didn't make huge money out of it, I neither got any qualitative exposure as it was a private show, but one thing I learnt and achieved is that, love, friendship, affection exists and all these things posses a lot of strength!
So anyways, at the end of the evening they greeted me with a warmth, which could be literally felt even in this chilli climite! They appreciated my performance. I'm thankful to Mr Sunil (right) who invited me to make this event musical. And also Mr Ajit (left) for letting me be a part of his birthday celebration!
Thanks for reading.

Year ended Musically, year began Musically!!

2nd January 2016

Hi everyone, I just hope new year is being generous to everyone. Well it has been beautiful for me at least. 31st evening I performed in a musical concert with my band(Spardha) in this place near Sus, Pune. It was a fun filled event and crowd was cool as well. Few of my friends on guitar, me on the keyboards and a friend of mine who sang a few songs. Oh and I sang a song too. It was one great experience. The next day was fun too. The same crew performed at another venue in Pimple Saudagar, Pune. This show was amazing. It seems like day by day our synchronisation is improving! And a very key note I need to mention is that the food we had after our performance on the 1st of January, was incomparable. We all had this amazing Chicken Dum Biryani, how great it was? Can't be expressed in words. We ate a lot of food. And then Spardha's founder treated us. The evening concluded with a very healthy discussion about growth of our organisation. Well that's much needed. We're going to perform in many venues upcoming weeks. And I'm going to keep updating on my blog.
Anyways New years have been fun for me and my friends. I hope all my other friends have had a wonderful new years too. I feel pleased to have shared my wonderful experience with all of you.
Thanks for reading!
