Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier!


I am eagerly waiting for Iron maiden's new album to be released! I can't tell you how excited I am at this moment! There is nothing like looking forward to listen to a new Iron Maiden album. Ever since I got this news, I've been way too much excited! Come August 16th, I will be having the CD in my hand and my ears will be pleased to hear new maiden songs!

Its time to go back a few years. It was in 2003, when I first heard Iron Maiden. It was because of songs like "The Sign of The Cross", "The Trooper", "The number of the beast", I got into maiden! I started loving maiden from the first time I got to know about them. In 2003, they released Dance of Death and when I got to know about this and when I saw the album art of this album, I was like I need to own this album for sure! The title itself had made me go crazy! I went on to buy a audio cassette of Dance of Death. I loved each and every song from this album, especially Dance of Death song! I even remember giving the cassette to a couple of my friends so that they can get a taste of maiden!

In 2007, it was A Matter of Life and Death. By this time, I had heard almost every maiden song. I remember that span of time I spent waiting for the album, talking to people about the album, about the album art, about Eddie in a war field and other stuff. It was the time when my semester results would be announced, AMOLAD made me forget all the tensions! I remember the day when I went to the music shop with my friend to get this CD, I was all excited with a broad smile on my face! I got a key chain with Eddie on it! wow, it was like a icing on the cake! Came home, listened to the album and I liked this album! I was in the maiden mood for quite a long time after getting this CD!

Soon after this I got a chance to see Iron Maiden Live in concert for the first time in my life! It was Ed Fest and their first concert in India. How lucky am I? Until that day I had never thought even in my dreams that I'd see them Live!

In 2008 February, I saw them Live in Mumbai. It was the opening show of the Somewhere Back in Time world tour. And in 2009, they played in Bangalore and it was the 2nd leg of Somewhere Back in time world tour I believe! Three times in three years!! :) Space is not enough to pen down the memories I have from these 3 concerts.

August 2010, Iron maiden's 15th studio album is scheduled to be released. I am as exited as I was back in 2003 and 2007. I am sure the album will be one of the best. I liked the single "El Dorado" and the Video of " Satellite 15..The Final Frontier".

I am hoping that I will get a chance to see them Live again soon. Hope they play in Bangalore! keeping my fingers crossed!

Just 18 more days!! Damn, time moves slow!

Seagull

Birds are a wonderful creatures. Each one of them have their unique offerings and fascinates you. We were going in a noisy boat, engine roaring, and people speaking loudly with each other. There was this beautiful seagull, away from it's heard, hovering around the boat checking out what these noisy people were upto!

Photography - 1

This is sort of a come back post on my blog! It has been almost 3 years since I wrote anything on my blog. In fact I had forgotten my login id and password. Got the email id from one of the mail which I had sent to my other email and later recovered the password! I wanted to write so many things but somehow it never happened! Anyway I would want to make some posts on photography along with other things! So here goes...  Wont be writing about my Photography hobby much on this, but I would want to share a pic which I had taken recently. The reason being that it was an experiment or rather I should say my first attempt at Panning photography. Without saying much, let me post the pic! I would let the photo do the talking! Car on the Highway! I used my Canon 550D to take this pic. ISO 800 focal length 50mm exposure time 1/15 sec aperture f/6.7 It was quite an experience, I would share some more pics from the session and would share the experience.

Places to visit from Bangalore - Halebeedu

Bengaluru is a place from which one can plan a lot of short trips and weekend getaways. A lot of trip-worthy places around. I would like to capture and showcase a glimpse of some of these places I visit in the form of short video clips and in the subsequent posts I would write a detailed posts. Halebeedu: Halebeedu temple complex. This 12th century structure has a breathtaking hoysala style architecture, with intricate carvings, mesmerising idols. One loses track of time when they go here and gets lost in the midst of this architecture marvel! Such a rich place this is, yet it feels sad to know that most of the idols are mutilated or destroyed. How can one be so cruel, that they go ahead and try to destroy such a marvellous place? Yet with all the mutilation and onslaught, it is still standing tall, showcasing the great architecture of the 12th century. Halebidu is a around 200 km from Bengaluru, and can easily be a good weekend getaway. If one wants to witness this timeless w...
