A Game I Thought I'd Never Play

Infected Mushroom at Lure

On the way back from the gym I took little pains to bring up the topic.Played out by the heavy bombardment of strenuous exercises I had lilliputian worries of planning a night out.However,once we reached  home I soon realised that thanks to my brother the 'decompression' was inevitable.After fencing half an hour in order to zero down on any of the popular clubs we still did not have a clear picture.I knew Infected Mushroom was playing at Lure,but getting the names on the list was a difficult task.Although Ankur had forwarded the names I had little hopes of making it.Knowing they generally make a trip to India before a new album is released I knew there would always be a next time.So yea,IM out we now had a to make different plan- an arduous task.Here Id like to mention,it is staggeringly annoying if somebody tells you to get going without you having the destination in mind.I feel the merriment in anticipating, if not more, is equally important.

So after scratching off a few places and taking into consideration that it was the last hour of the day  we finally settled for Love Hotel.A quick shower,couple of shots of green apple,I stepped out of my room in full swagger.Its weird how the most beautiful things happen unplanned.

The car journey was rather uneventful except the argument bout lighting up a smoke.Considering I had already smoked quite a few, for once I decided to stick to 95.4 alone.

As we entered Ai a tonic current of air hit us.As always is the case with this place the aesthetically pleasing surrounding always stimulates the drink-o-meter.I settled down with  the LIT pitcher as we picked up a table close to where Aaron James was playing.The New York to New Delhi theme was well thought of as i saw quite a few blind drunk people dancing to the retro tunes.I myself do not mind to trip the light fantastic but that is post gulping down some killer stuff.While I was busy drowning in the music being played, Ankur ordered for the starters.This is where i would like to bring up the delectable pork belly on the menu at Love,by far the best pork I have ever tasted.Trust me it does not get better than this.As we were busy peloing the ambrosial food,He bestowed His courtesy(at a rather odd hour of the day)A message and yes!!! Ankur had managed to get our names on the list at Lure..hmm...now that called for a bottom up..uhmmm...aaarhh..was that a pitcher?
Lure was not far.As we entered I could easily see the difference in the crowd as compared to Ai.Younger crowd coupled with sum super sexy music would surely make it up here.The lounge area,where Infected Mushroom was spinning it,was chock-a-block full reminding me of the HCP structure I had come across in some stupid chem book.

A few minutes in to the zone and yea I knew where I was getting at :a confluence of stoners, drunkards and psychosis afflicted individuals.For once I found comfort in being in matching companionship.The psy trance duo churned out some of their popular hits like Psycho,Deeply Disturbed and their newest single, Killing Time.The crowd went wild when Becoming Insane was played.And hell yes! so did I.Their infectious energy was getting to everybody around all alike.There was this group of demented guys who went crazy with the Israeli flag only to be stopped by security.As the music got better(or possibly I was bombed),the beats confirmed 

my belief:

    'There Is More to What Is Around Us Than Meets the Eye'

After being immersed in the music for a duration that seemed minuscule, when I finally opened my eyes,much to my disappointment, I saw the crowd melting off.Although there were still some 200 odd people,I decided to make a push.An hour of indulgence and awsome ataraxic music was enough to keep me going for a few days to come.

As i stepped out of the lounge into the outdoor area to find Ankur and Natalie sippin on drinks,I observed a quaint calm on the table.To each their own religion I thought.They did not request information about the show inside and I took little pains to bring up the topic.
