[EXPLORE FRONT PAGE: 10-28-2009]

Okay…let me honestly admit that this was a rather gloomy decision on my part to go to a Sonu Niigaam concert instead of the one of Artcell. And I had to, partly because my parents wanted and partly cause I didn’t want to waste the Premium ticket after being successfully unable to sell them! So I went. And HE came onto the stage: and thereby the story started for me!

You all know him better than me, I guess! Memorize all his songs by heart, read all his interviews and know all about his personal life…if I ain’t wrong! But I started from the very scratch! Then I saw him standing there on the stage, moving the crowd by his eternal music, electrifying them by his decency, modesty and kindness when he accepted every request from the audience, talking with them, clapping for them and bowing for them. And I thought how can someone so big, can be so sober standing up there, ruling the crowd??? The answer was, he himself: Sonu Niigaam!

Okay, there were some technical (!) limitations of shooting in this particular concert!
1. None had any DSLR in the front seats except for 2 from the organizers side. They weren’t allowing anyone to shoot even with mobile (though ppl did, yeah!). So I had to take all the shots sitting in my seat in the second row, which is the reason behind the same frames in each photo!
2. My only gear was 400D with the 18-55mm had to bear all my torture throughout!!

So here it goes…..
