I had one of my dreams come true recently when I saw him in the real and true sense. The dream was to see and hear Bryan Adams, whom I adore for his sheer simplicity and down-to-earth persona, live. And he was just fantastic and rocking, as usual. The rock star had come to Hyderabad for an open concert and me and my friends made sure that we do not miss this memorable extravaganza.
The heartening thing about Bryan was that he performed on stage with his electric-guitar and his trademark mouth-organ, with such ease and gaiety that everyone present to witness the demi-god were mesmerised. The environment was electrifying and each one of us were blissfully enjoying the musical aroma created around us. His raspy voice sang more than 20 songs and all-of-them were as afresh as the ones which he recorded on studios.
I could never forget his numbers like Summer Of '69, Here I Am, Clould Number 9, Star...and many more...Another thing which really made my impression about him was that he quit school at the tender age of 15 -- all for the sake of music and used to play in the nightclubs. He had his own stages of hardships in his early career as he had to give demos and be content with small work, whenever he got any. But he finally got the stature, that he truly and fittingly deserved.
This makes me wonder one thing and that is if we work hard and we truly believe and enjoy what we believe in, one day by the God's grace, we would reach the abode for which we all are here to sail for.
Wonderful Evening it was and an unforgettable one...Thanks Bryan for being what you are...God Bless!!!!
