Turning 25!

Well I’m writing this blog in the most apt time. In two months I would be turning 25. Ohh my Gosh 25! Is it just a number or seriously you have to act mature ? Like you have just given your 12^th grade exams and eventually you are 25 now. It is seriously kind of 'LIKE IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY' of Ravinder Singh.

This phase of life comes with so many complications. You have just completed your studies a year back and your first job brings you with plenty of hopes and optimism. In short your life just took off. You want to earn-spend-shop-explore-travel and your parents are like ‘let me find a perfect guy for you’. DUH! I think most of the girls of my age are annoyed hearing this from their parents.

This is the final call for our life. Especially for we girls, we need to think what we actually want from our life. Doesn’t matter how much you hate marriages, some fine day you have to say 'yes' to your parents and you would be wrapped in an expensive attire ready to get double with sorrows and happiness of course (sarcasm)

So, no perfect time is gonna come to push you with the things you want.

There is a big difference between spending your own money and depending on your husband for finances. I think no one wants to be the second one(not at least me)

I think all our dreams and desires becomes less difficult to achieve as a bachelorette. Still it takes efforts to get started with it. You need to be stubborn for life. Stubborn for -your kind of life. Stubborn to fulfill all your bucket list. Stubborn for dealing with your parents of what you want to become. Make them count the crucial things you are looking for in the coming years which are more important than getting married. It needs courage and confidence to say and to work on it.

We all know that a self-made woman is more respected than a woman who flaunts her husband’s money. Many years from now when we look back and recall that I have been there,done that..trust me that pang of satisfaction would surely gonna bring immense happiness to the soul. I hope there would not be any disappointments and regrets then. It’s not only about money ,it’s about being in the space you want to be, be the person you think you can be and taking that first step towards it. It would be discomforting, but that’s what life is all about. It starts at the end of our comfort zone. So buck up girls! Let’s keep our heels and head always high. I don’t want to miss my last train, do you?  

P.S.—This piece I’m writing to motivate myself and to all girls of my age :)

If you are planning for Sunburn Goa…

If you are planning for Sunburn Goa…

Sunburn Goa is the biggest music festival in Asia. It grew bigger and better since it started in 2007. Nikhil Chinapa(pioneer of EDM in India) conceptualised the format of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) in India. Celebrated along the shore of Vagator beach, it is now a four days event in last days of December.

Sunburn Goa is all about Live Love Dance as it says!

Here I would be talking about things to keep in mind if you are the one planning for Sunburn Goa.

You should only spent money on Sunburn if your nerves are into EDM. 
There is no place in Sunburn for the people who drop here with the idea of strolling around beaches. You would regret being there if you’re not a hardcore trance music lover. This festival shows you the different genre of music including trance, dubstep, house, tech house, trap music, psychedelic trance and more of this.

Worried about ticket pricing? Here is the solution. 
Being the largest music festival of India , ticket pricing  for this fest is bit high comparatively other music festivals. But the good news is that now you can pay in EMIs. You book ticket of Sunburn from www.bookmyshow.com and they give you the option of paying in installments. It is important to make your mind asap for the fest so that you can book the ticket being an early bird.  As per my experience I would suggest you to book tickets asap and should not wait for the last moment rush. The more you wait, the more you pay. I never want you to make that *facepalm* expression. I was charged 8,950 INR as the total amount when I booked the ticket in early week of November 2015.People outside India can book tickets from www.viagogo.com. This is also the official international ticketing partner of Sunburn Goa.

Where to get the hardcopy of ticket?   
Once you are done with the booking of tickets, your booking ID would be generated which you have to show on the ticket counter of the event ground at Vagator beach and they would give you the wristband as per your ticket category.

This wristband would be serving as the ticket for the entry into Sunburn ground. Recommendation is not to misplace or tamper the band as there is no replacement for the same.
Finally you are at the fest. Get that impulse! Nail it
Forget the world now. Those world-class music is made to take you high. Mesmerising ambience- flashy lights-with classy music all over the arena. There are many stage apart from the Sunburn main stage and there are DJs to get you go wild with the music they play. So now is the time to loose your grip.

  
 Hotness all around(Wink;)
Of course, when you are at EDM festival, you expect hot chicks around you. Guys need not to worry about that. You will find large flock of female music lovers who has made their way just to get that pang of EDM.

 Eww-that dusty sweat!
You will have to face different layers of dust all over you mixed with sweat. No matter how much time it took you to choose your coolest Sunburn attire from your closet, sadly it would all multiply with smelly sweat and dust .A place gathering approximately 4lac people from 42 countries drenched in music will obviously witness those bad odour dust and sweat wrapped all over you.

Bad news for non-smokers
It’s an EDM event, you will find people boozing and fagging almost everywhere. In fact in the main arena you may find a guy fagging weed till the last DJ plays. The whole area would smell weed dipped in dust and smog. So you have to be passive smoker in this scenario. My experience says go with the flow .After all you are here to experience the best EDM in the world live in front of you. So better ignore and live it up.

 Foodies- here we come!
Beer, snacks, pizzas ,here you will find everything you love but unfortunately they will rip you off with the price. I would suggest you to make yourself full for at least four hours before you come. Even buying the water bottles can be the ouch moment.
  
Caution : You never know who is the pocket picker.
It is highly recommended that you don’t carry any expensive stuffs with you. Mobile phones need to be specially taken care off. Of course, you don’t want to sob at the end of a sexy show. It looks funny when the phone hunting sessions starts at the end of the show. You don’t want to be the one right?? 

Those splendid Sunburn After Dark Parties…
The good news is that parties never ends at Sunburn .If you’re a party animal, you need not to worry. Sunburn has everything you wish for. You can directly go to Sunburn after dark parties that too for FREE!! Yes, you heard it right. These are the perks of being a part of the largest music festival. You just have to show your Sunburn wrist band and they welcome you with open arms.

Get some Desi feel at Sunburn too
Not expecting here?? Then you’re wrong!Folks! If you’re a street food lover, then it’s  definitely for you guys. You’ll not believe but there are several vendors and ram shackles outside the Sunburn arena which gonna serve you with the typical street food. So what’s wrong in taking a bite of pav-bhaji at Sunburn ;) 

P.S.- I went to Sunburn Goa 2015 on a road trip from Delhi to Goa . These are the information as per my experiences. Queries are welcome:)

*Get some time from your drudgery life and Live Love Dance*
