Now about the event :
For all the enthusiastic Swarathma and Papa CJ fans were so early, that event the organizers ended up as late comers as compared to them. They patiently waited through all the sound checks and commotion before the start of the event.
Though Twestwal's official time was 12:30 to 4:30, we started at about 1:00pm. It started with Pritham Venkky - An amazing MC, introducing Twestival and the agenda on it. Followed by Vaijanthi (a.k.a VJ) our India Twestival Co-ordinator, introducing the audience to the history of twestival, why we do it, et al.
Finally.. Let the drom rolls begin .. Here comes - Twestival Bangalore September 2009 !
The event took off with some mesmerizing acts by Nakul Shenoys' - Beyond Magic. This guy got us all Awestruck. I witnessed it myself - and it was unbelievable.
There I am, one of this targets @ the magical acts.
Then came a short stint with Great Laughter. Stand Up comedians Aron Kedar and Papa Cj got everybody rolling on the floor with some quick wit laugh.
Finally, came in the much awaited performance : Swarathma.
And was it was worth all the patience !
They floored us all, by some exclusive numbers, catchy kannada lyrics and superb music. I just could not hang on to my chair. Within minutes i got off my seat and was dancing until they finished.
And there were some final rounds of gift giving by Amit (a.k.a Daaku) , some chocolates and beer to celebrate,final accounts and we all parted.
This was one Saturday we all shall cherish - Great Fun.
