A. R. Rahman, the genius, performing live in Bangalore... I had to be there. Vikram went to Ahmedabad, so it was me with some friends -- six of us in all. We ended up purchasing the lowest-priced ones, we'd have to stand for the whole show. My repeated arguments for...

Hunting for accommodation in Bangalore?
(Thanks to Chirag and Amol. I'm not hunting for a place right now, but that'll help.)
