My opinion on concerts/theatre/and other shows I’ve attended
One lovely day we were driving through the streets of Dushanbe (this rhymes!) and I saw a sign promoting a concert of Sadriddin & Ghazaal Enayat. I was mostly interested in Sadriddin, because this was a concert in his own country. I wanted to see how he will perform, how the audience will react to him and the… Continue reading Tajikistan part 2: Sadriddin live in Dushanbe!
Story time! Today my parents and I went to Centre Island, an island close to Toronto. If you google it the information you will get about this place is “a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city”, a pretty calm area.

They’ve truly done a great… Continue reading Been there, saw that: Rudimental live @ Tivoli, Utrecht (22-05-2013)

RDGLDGRN is an American band from Virginia. I had never heard of them before I saw them perform on the 22nd of May at the Tivoli n Utrecht. I actually had no idea how to even pronounce their name. My friend and I were just calling them ‘the consonants’ until during their show we found out… Continue reading Pictures: RDGLDGRN live @ Tivoli (Utrecht)
