NH7 Weekender—A Musical Experience

My sister and I attended the NH7 Weekender last year and it was an experience for keeps. It was more than we bargained for. The ambiance, the colors, the crowd, the stage setup, and of course, the artists added all the needed excitement.

We had booked the tickets online and decided to attend one day of the fest since we weren’t sure what to expect. We checked out the website and listened to some of the artists and band who would be performing on that day. We were pleasantly surprised to see that they were many upcoming Indian bands who dabbled in rock, punk rock, indie music. The list was endless.

As the D-day drew closer, our excitement began to rise! How would it be? What would be the feeling when we hear so many bands play live? For that we just had to wait…patiently!

The D-day arrived and lo behold, we woke up feeling a bit tired. The weather was humid and the sky was a bit overcast. I kept peeking out of the window to check the sky and said a small prayer of thanks every time I saw the sun.

We arrived minutes before the event began as we did not want to miss a single thing. The event was not open to public as yet. Waiting in the heat seemed to drag for eternity! Finally, we were let in and escorted to a corner for a thorough checkup. The entire venue was beefed up with security. I was pretty impressed. Even as I entered the place I couldn't help getting excited. It was so beautiful and I didn't know where to begin or where to go!

We attended a couple of stages and enjoyed just listening to live music out in the open. I bumped into some of my office colleagues, said a quick hi, and continued visiting one stage to another. Overall, it was a great experience and it was there when we decided that the coming year we would attend for 3 days.

Back to the present, my sister and I are attending NH7 for 3 days and guess what, we have a big gang!

I can’t wait for next week!
