Shreya1975

Ever since i saw the first #AHFODtour concert live on periscope during the month of March early this year in south america I knew no matter what I have to see Coldplay live.. Since they never played a concert in my country till now I decided to start saving up money for one of their concerts in Australia... Little did I know that a few months later they would have a concert in India!! I was so thrilled when it was confirmed that they would be headlining the Global citizen festival India! Ahh that was the best news ever!! Like every global citizen festival a certain %of the tickets were sold... I tried my luck but I didn't get the tickets I wanted.. I still didn't loose hope as 80% of the tickets were remaining to be won... Long story short after a long wait and a lot of anticipation I managed to win a ticket to see COLDPLAY!!!! The ticket I won was right in front and I was soo thrilled... My excitement knew no bounds... (if you'd see my facebook and snapchat posts and stories... Its only about coldplay <3) I was so thrilled and it was a good thing I saved up quite a bit of money cause the concert was not in my city of bangalore (which is in the south), but in Mumbai.... I was so happy that COLDPLAY was coming to India and the best part on top of this? They were playing In Mumbai just 4days before my birthday!!! Omg I just stared at the screen for about 5 minutes.... Ah that was the best birthday present ever also what's extra special is that the band was celebrating their 20 years of friendship and being together and I was 20 years too just 4days from turning 21!.... Cut short to the day of the concert :) Gates for the concert were to open at 10:30am.. I planned to go stand in line at 8:30am (my mum thought I was crazy and I don't blame her) I wanted to wait outside the whole night if I could but not possible with my mum around.... Anyway I reached the venue at 10 am and I didn't have breakfast cause I was too excited to be there anyway luckily for me the queue wasn't that long.... My mum left me at the queue and headed back to the hotel( cause she got different tickets than mine) while waiting for the gates to open I started making friends with other coldlplayers... Ah it was so amazing to share the same love and emotional connection you have for the same band... The gates finally opened and we were each given a gold zone band and a loVe Button!!! Omg I almost cried! (my eyes were tearing up) I've been forever wanting a love button but I couldn't get one cause the shipping expenses were too much.. I could already feel the love and I immediately put the love button on my shirt. I really love the movement by lovebutton.org today with everything happening in the world I think we all need to spread the message of love. Back to the concert... After getting my loVe button I ran like I never ran before and got a place near the baracade! I was so happy that everything worked out and couldn't wait for the festival to begin... The concert started at 1:30pm in the afternoon.... The day was filled with different artists performing through the day like Demi lovato, TheVamps and Jay Z to name a few who were awesome!!! But I couldn't wait for the best and biggest band in the world COLDPLAY!!!!! Finally after a ten hour wait it was time for Coldplay to take the stage.... The orchestral music began and I couldn't contain my excitement! I got chills down my spine and the intro videos began and finally Charlie Chaplin's speech in The Dictator! My level of excitement was through the roof as my long dream of seeing Coldplay live was coming true! As Charlie Chaplin's speech is going on I see Will, Guy, Jonny and Chris sneak into the stage I start screaming until everyone else around me realise that they're here! Its actually coming true my long dream of seeing Coldplay live is coming true! The roar of the fans was so loud and A head full of dreams started the minute Chris jumped down the ramp my heart skipped a few beats! "Oh I think I landed in a world I hadn't seen when Im feeling ordinary when I don't know what I mean" . [MEDIA=instagram]BNSSDgIDREC[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSSDgIDREC/?taken-by=shreya1975 So beautiful!! At this point I really should apologize to the sweet camera man recording everything one for my horrible voice and two for my over excitement :) A head full of dreams is so beautiful live and the fans singing along was surreal! Chris ran past me and it was time for the confetti to fall omg it was so beautiful and as I'm singing along confetti falls into my mouth as well and it did taste good I have to say lol :D next up was yellow and it was so beautiful live! Chris singing "look at the stars, look how they shine for you" [MEDIA=instagram]BNSTdcWjosX[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSTdcWjosX/?taken-by=shreya1975 Omg beautiful and magical! At the end of yellow Chris started speaking in hindi omg he said "we're so happy to be here with all of you in India for the first time" (my heart melted like it didn't before) it was time for Every Teardrop is a Waterfall <3 everyone started singing along as Chris said say yo and the fans responding saying yo that was so magical! I was so curious to see which flag Chris was gonna hold up cause I carried along with me a flag which read believe in love <3 Chris raised the flag with loVe on it and it was stunning! Loved it when he sang " you can hurt, hurt me bad but still i'll raise the flag" ! <3 So beautiful! I waved my flag high up in the sky. It was time for The Scientist and everyone started singing along "come up to meet you tell you I'm sorry you don't know how lovely you are!!" <3 it was soo beautiful omg Chris at the end said were so happy to be here in India for the very first time! Expecting birds to start since I used to watch every concert on periscope the band started playing God put a smile upon your face! Omg!!! I screamed so loud & it was awesome!!! I'm running out of words actually Chris and Jonny headed down the ramp and were rocking it out! [MEDIA=instagram]BNDySYpjqBe[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNDySYpjqBe/?taken-by=shreya1975 The fans were going wild including me and I couldn't help but scream Chris, love you Chris and Jonny, love you Jonny both of them being the sweethearts they are smiled and ran back to the main stage next up was Paradise and as soon as Chris started playing everyone started singing along it was beautiful and so magical in the end Chris said I don't want to stop, Will I don't want to stop this is our first time in India and I don't want to stop it <3 then he said everyone listen to me and put your phones away and lets dance! When Chris Martin tells you something you like that you obviously listen to him! And everyone put their phones away and started dancing along with Chris! <3 he's such an amazing dancer by the way omg the whole area of the concert were dancing along and it was so beautiful Chris and Jonny again headed towards the ramp rocking out with each other and again I started screaming Chris, love you Chris Jonny, love you Jonny by the look on their faces it could easily be said they were loving it too! They headed back and surrounded Will like when they started you know... It was so beautiful! The lights went off and the band were heading towards the B stage [MEDIA=instagram]BOffYI9gkL3[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BOffYI9gkL3/?taken-by=shreya1975 the screams for the whole band were so loud and I did scream for each of them too.... They started playing Always in my head! Omg it was stunning (Chris did take someone's phone it the crowd and take a video too) they then played magic and it was so beautiful! At the end Chris asked do you believe in magic? which we responded by saying yes I do of course I do! It was time for everglow and the rest of the band headed back towards the main stage we started screaming for them and they being so sweet smiled at us and smiled at each other walking back. Chris asked for the lights to be put on and he said if you want to send love now is the time to do it and this is a song called everglow it was soo beautiful omg I got tears in my eyes<3 [MEDIA=instagram]BNSQDsRDDQe[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSQDsRDDQe/?taken-by=shreya1975 the video of Mohammed Ali started and the roar of the fans was so loud Chris ran back and the lazers went off!!!! it was clocks!!!! [MEDIA=instagram]BNSU598DByK[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSU598DByK/?taken-by=shreya1975 Omg it looked so beautiful and the fans started singing along,"lights go out and I can't be saved times that I tried to swim against "<3 omg it was stunning! Clocks ended and it was time for midnight!!! It was so beautiful gosh I couldn't take my eyes off them midnight ended and Chris said everyone put your phones away and hands up!! I knew it was Charlie Brown and i screamed so loud people were wondering what I was doing anyway Charlie brown started and everyone started dancing together and then Chris said stop the song we'll have to start it from the beginning we'll be second time lucky in that very moment I screamed Nooo Why? I'm not sure if chris heard my voice but then he said its soo beautiful to see all of you dancing together and my guitar is broken... Anyway they restarted Charlie Brown and it was stunning! Next up was Hymn for the weekend it was incredible as the video was shot in Mumbai!!! Everyone was singing along on top of their voices I oh I oh I am feeling drunk and high so high so high! So beautiful Chris started waking back to the top of the beginning of the ramp like he was drunk and high it was so cute and people behind me were scared and I had to tell them no no he's fine don't worry :) fix you started and my eyes filled with tears Chris asked the audience to take out their phones for their flash lights to put them in the air omg fix you was out of this world ahh the last chorus sing along was so beautiful and so magical and still fresh In my memory! (the whole concert is) then the spotlight was on Jonny I knew Heroes was gonna start I screamed so loud and one of the girls behind me asked are you psychic? I laughed and said no this is how their setlist is <3 heroes was such an incredible tribute to David bowie and prince and everyone we've lost this year Chris said drop it will and I lost it and started singing woah-oh-ah-oh oh oh it was time for viva la vida!!!!!!! The crowd went berserk and started singing and dancing together I couldn't help but keep moving my hand like Chris does omg( take me back to the concert pleaseeee) it was so awesome and so beautiful! The crowd sang so beautifully along with will woah-oh-ah-oh oh oh oh it was beautiful! The song ended and Adventure of a lifetime started the balloons fell on us and we all started singing and dancing along with Chris and the band omg seeing Chris dancing really makes your day doesn't it? It came to that part my favorite part of the song where everyone gets down Jonny played that amazing riff and I just screamed everybody get down before Chris did! Everyone looking at me very puzzled but they listened to Chris when he said it omg I loved it all of us got down and low and then 1....2....1....2..3 GO! And we jumped back up again Omg it was amazing it felt so beautiful to be alive and in that moment! The ending was spectacular with everyone screaming woooohoooo woooohoooo back to Chris <3 the band went off the stage and people thought the concert was over I knew it wasn't cause they hadn't played the instagram request yet..... The crowd started the viva chant followed by coldplay coldplay ole ole coldplay till the video of the instagram requests played. Then guesthouse (kaleidoscope) began and the band made their way towards the B stage the screams were loud as ever! Chris wished the crowd and asked everyone down the front and the middle to keep quiet for a minute so that he could hear the noise from the people at the back my god it was loud and so beautiful! They played in my place it was so beautiful!!! Next was Don't panic!!!! Oh my god hearing Jonny sing that second verse was so beautifull I couldn't help but scream Go Jonny!!! Then it was time for the band introduction!! love the way Chris changes things here omg he so sweet and so funny he introduced Will as the best actor in the world and you would've seen him in game of thrones season three episode nine red wedding, next was Guy he said everything Justin Bieber knows he learnt from him and last but in no way least this is Johnny buckland from Wales my bestfriend and the best guitarist in the world. Then Chris called a very special guest A R Rahman!!!! They sang Vande mataram omg it was so beautiful! How can we not love coldplay more than we already do? Chris singing along with A R Rahman was so cute and so beautiful without a doubt Chris won a billion hearts that night and so did Coldplay after that they played chana mereya another hindi song from Bollywood it was so beautiful omg! It was beautiful and perfect! I was waiting for amazing day to start but they played A sky full of stars omg Chris ran passed by me and smiled oh my heart! He went down the ramp and took an Indian flag and started dancing with it! Omg a sky full of stars was euphoria in its purest form! [MEDIA=instagram]BNHOd7CDysP[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNHOd7CDysP/?taken-by=shreya1975 The confetti was so beautiful [MEDIA=instagram]BNOSrPkjuWg[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNOSrPkjuWg/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNORw_tDKaS[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNORw_tDKaS/?taken-by=shreya1975 and I couldn't help myself but sing and dance along when Chris ran back to the main stage I started to cry and started screaming Don't go noo Don't go coldplay! It was time for the last song for the night Up and up!! It was so beautiful and so amazing !! I couldn't help but cry..... Chris said this is one of the greatest nights of their lives and well be back soon as long as you want us too the crowd gave their loudest cheer and the last verse we all sang together like one family for the last time! "Fixing up a car to drive in it again when you're in pain and when you think you had enough.... Don't ever give up! " The fireworks were stunning! Just believe in love! <3 IT WAS OVER!!! the band took their final bows and waved at us one last time and left the stage. It was all over!! I started crying and I collected confetti to take back home and for memories and as a souvenir. It was the best birthday I could ever ask for! The best day of my life no doubt! As I was collecting Confetti I dropped my flag and I looked back I saw two small little kids holding the flag to take a picture with the message "Believe In loVe" seeing that made me so happy! By the end of the night i'd lost my voice (no complains here) if I could relive that night again i'd do it in a heartbeat!! No second thoughts about it! It was truly spectacular! and a night i'll cherish forever and never forget!! Thank you so much Coldplay!!!!! Love you with all my heart and I know I'll see you soon!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Thank you so much Coldplaying for letting me be a part of this amazing family and for letting me share my experience! This was my first COLDPLAY Concert and it was beyond my wildest dreams so beautiful and magical #AmazingDay #BestDayEver #Happy21 #BestBirthdayEver #AHFODtour [MEDIA=instagram]BNec_uqDvCz[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNec_uqDvCz/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNSVh5kD7d7[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSVh5kD7d7/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNSU598DByK[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSU598DByK/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNSUMLzjG59[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSUMLzjG59/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNSRMxFDieZ[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSRMxFDieZ/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNSOwu7jm1U[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSOwu7jm1U/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNPCO9DDpRq[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNPCO9DDpRq/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNORw_tDKaS[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNORw_tDKaS/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNOBsxED8x5[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNOBsxED8x5/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BNOA3iOD2YJ[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNOA3iOD2YJ/?taken-by=shreya1975 [MEDIA=instagram]BMywSrqDKXi[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMywSrqDKXi/?taken-by=shreya1975
