Note:This post is written from a perspective of a Deadmau5(pronounced - Dead-mouse) fan , Please move along if you are not in a mood to hear or read about Strobe , the one song i have talked about constantly through many posts
Prologue:
There are a few songs which you feel you will never get tired of , and Strobe is that one song for me. The song is playing on repeat as i write this post. This song or i shall name it the life song because it is composed in such a manner that you can use it for narrating your life story or some important story or a person in a staggering 10:37 minutes , a build up (slow and steady ), a rise, and bamm! some mind boggling beats. First introduced to me by Angad , he suggested a way similar to what i just described to savor the life song in his blog or maybe at his house.
Some say if you count the number of times i have heard this song , you will be astounded. It is called the Strobe

So plug in your earphones and read on
It all started with Sunburn announcing a Deadmau5 concert in India and i was likef*** yeah. I was more excited than anything ever before , like a child is when he rides a bicycle for the first time or maybe a person's first kiss. The day it was announced , i made a few calls asking the members of The Legion to join me in this experience of a lifetime. Many of my friends chose not to go to the concert saying one song is not worth attending a concert . I was disheartened and wished that Angad was here , because if he had been here he would have agreed in a heartbeat. The first respite came from Alam who showed interest in coming but said it would depend on his office whether they will allow him to take a leave on 14th March.
During a course of 2-3 months i kept asking other friends again and again to come to the concert , and failed every single time but that didn't demotivate me and I kept trying. One fine day when the concert tickets were available for sale , Alam said he would not be able to join because his office won't allow him to take a leave on a Friday( He lives in Surat and to attend the concert he had to take a leave ).Frankly speaking i was infuriated that day and demotivated and decided not to go myself , but still kept bugging people to attend the concert ( i don't know why i was so persistent). Luckily the tickets were available and on 7th March , with the hope that someone will say yes , i asked Alam that the tickets are still available and he should talk to his supervisor about taking a leave and fortunately his boss agreed and he said yes book the tickets , and like a child i ran around in my office premises excited and happy. I quickly booked the tickets and waited impatiently for the D day. In all this there was this moment when i decided that i might attend this concert alone.
14th March(events in chronological order, timelines may be approximate)
0600 hrs : Alam leaves for Mumbai
1030 hrs : I am playing Assassin's Creed-Revelations
1130 hrs : I write to my supervisor saying i am ill and cannot come to work
1230 hrs : I constantly WhatsAppin Alam and asking him to share his location , like a 10 minute reconnaissance
1326 hrs : I meet Alam at a mall
1400 hrs : The true details of the even cannot be disclosed : Highly confidential
1446 hrs : Still Highly confidential
1500 hrs : We set sail for Mahalakshmi Race Course(sunburn arena) with a bar of Bournville
And thus starts the journey to Deadmau5 , It was a hot day and i could see the Bournville in my hand melting , soon it was like that Cadbury Silk advertisement . After savoring the chocolate bar , and riding the auto for almost an hour we reached our destination and on our way we talked about Deadmau5 and women.
1645 hrs : Lined up in a queue for the passes
1715 hrs : Collect the passes
1815 hrs : Enter the arena , look for a good spot
1845 hrs : Rehab starts performing
I and Alam were standing at a location very close to a set of hanging speakers and when Rehab stepped up on the stage and played the first bass beat , both of us were literally blown away by it's sound waves. We decided not to leave that spot until the concert was over. After approximately 90 minutes of Rehab's music Deadmau5 took over the stage and he was wearing a Kurta. After a few minutes he played 'Tunak Tunak-Deadmau5 style' and the crowd went totally bonkers. One thing about the crowd , it was too young and i could see people who probably didn't even know how to pronounce Deadmau5 but none the less it didn't matter. He played Ghosts n Stuff and i went totally nuts when he did so , and soon after he played the very best - Strobe , complete 10 minutes and i was almost in tears , tears of joy.
I felt that my life was complete now and i can die in peace. It was a beautiful concert and i will remember it for a very long long time.
Thank you Deadmau5 for making Strobe and for coming to India
PS- If you still haven't heard this song , you can die
PPS - Deadmau5 is a person named Joel Thomas Zimmerman
