Let me just call up my friend at Deep Sound Entertainment..POA: One of his friends' friend will be there at the metro station of my choice, to sell me the Early Bird Passes. Of course, this entitles me to a special discount. (As if, I need that incentive to attend!) A young guy turns up to hand me over the passes. He is almost my age. 'Cool! dynamic people' I think to myself!. I pay him cash for four people, out of which two(girls) definitely WANT to attend, but the other two(boys) will have to materialize out of thin air. One pass has Monika's name on it and the other one has mine.
What if the event gets postponed?? Normally, you would put your name on the guest list the day of the event and show up to pay on the spot and enter. So, I ask the guy, 'What happens if Armin decides not to show up or the event gets cancelled?'. He gives me that look and asks, 'Why would he not show up??'.'Umm.. yea why wouldn't he?..'OK thanks, Bye!' ... 'Hey! me and my friends are hanging out in the mall nearby, do you want to join us?'. 'Umm, I have to get back home, maybe another time!' So I get on the Metro, back home. On the way, I worry. What if Armin can't make it? What if Monika does not show up? I have passes for four people and am not sure whether anyone except me can make it there. But I am going be there for sure. For sure. Right?
What makes me so confident that I will be there?
I am hooked to the concept of 'the law of attraction'. It states that if you orient your mind and actions towards a positive outcome then your subconscious mind helps you find ways to overcome obstacles and make that positive outcome a reality. I have been at it for a while. I have enough proof that it works. So, I know, for sure, that I will be there.
Why this fuss about Armin? Why am I such a big fan?
I believe that each one has music inside us.. just like the 'heart song' talked about in the movie 'Happy Feet', there exists a specific genre that we truly connect with..While, some of us are lucky enough to come across that genre pretty early, others have to keep looking, till it finds them. I personally have hopped from Pop to Punk Rock to Death Metal Rock to Jazz to Classical to Soft Acoustic to Soul to World and on and on. Yet, nothing had quenched that thirst.
I had spent six months in London for an internship but had not gone clubbing. Lame. I know. Yet, my farewell party found me in the Ministry of Sound for a couple of hours. Instantly, I had been hooked - what is this music called, who are these artists, where to find more of this, is it only played in clubs? My friends were too high to answer. I left the city with a sense that I was really close to finding out my genre.. but the fact that it was called, Underground Music didn't help at all!
My transitioning between genres was on, when a distant friend, took me out clubbing in Bangalore,. It was the first time I was officially introduced to EDM- Electronic Dance Music. I knew I had been found. What sense of liberation I felt!!
My search for the genre had ended, my quest for live shows had begun. How I yearned to share the passion and experience with thousands of other fans. I wanted to attend live shows! I would have to move to Europe for that to be possible. That might take at least a year to happen.
And, only three months of moving to Gurgaon/Delhi, Armin decides to visit India! Could it be true?!!Yes! It has to be! I even have the passes in my hand! All I have to do is, get Monika here and arrange two boys...only two days to go! It will work out! It has to! It will! But HOW..?
