Dilemma
It's strange...the ways of life and the very essence of living. A winding path that brings you to a threshold that you least expected. Certain ways of your very being will change forever, giving you a perspective of life that you chose to experience...will that change who you really are?I hope not.

A legendary date
The melee of people would have otherwise been claustrophobic. But today was a different day. If you are an admirer of musical legends, then this would be one of those days when everything's 'wonderful' with 'layla' and 'cocaine'.
For me, it was an impulse buy - a ticket to the concert at Hyde Park featuring Eric Clapton on June 28, 2008. I am in London and it's my first summer here, so I just wanted to experience the outdoors in the typically 'London fashion'. Be out in the sun, picnic-ing in the park with friends and listening to some classic music.
The doors to the Hard Rock concert opened at 1 pm sharp. It was an atypical bright and hot day. The crowd only got thicker with every passing hour. My friend and I were in by 2.30. We found ourselves a delectable location (it was right in front of the big screen!) and suitably positioned ourselves to experience the legend.
John Mayer came and so did Sheryl Crow soaking up the sun. By this time, unwantingly tanning myself (read: burning myself) in the utterly scorching English June sun, I waited for the Man. No money in tow (I'd overspent buying the ticket), all I could afford was a measly couple of beers trying vainly to beat the heat. And vain, it indeed was...I was dark brown by the time the legend took to stage.
But if you were to ask me, was all the gruelling pain and fun worth it, after all. Yes, it totally was! Coz it was a legendary date. The electrifying fingers and the mellifluous melody were enough to make it all worthwhile. Some people reign the world with only talent. Eric Clapton is one of them and to witness a legend perform live is an experience to be treasured forever.
It was 'wonderful tonight' with 'cocaine'.
