On the 2nd of August, one of our classmates was to perform on the famed stage of Hard Rock Café in Worli. I love anything that has to do with music and this, was a chance to be there for my class. Well, there was a party scheduled too. The whole idea was to move away from the assignments and let us all bond out of class. This was the perfect excuse.
Venue: Hard Rock Café. I realize I am mentioning this name repeatedly. That's because the impact is still very fresh. I am from Hyderabad. The only city in the world to have 2 Hard Rock Cafes or, as we usually call them, HRCs. Coming from a place that that has such strong Rock music fan base, the HRC here in Mumbai would have to have me floored. Well, apart from the enthralling performances of my fellow classmate and his band- “Beat-route”, the restaurant did surprise me.This was the first HRC to open in India and it surely had to make its mark in a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai. The whole restaurant can seat over 150 people and it was huge! The whole atmosphere was electric. Rock music is a serious business in the Hard Rock café. After all they even named themselves so. The walls are not mere walls. They hold within its gaping holes and crevices (purposeful, of course), memorabilia that were once owned by the bigwigs like Eric Clapton, Alice Cooper, Madonna, Led Zeppelin and so on.
This also means that people who visit HRC are music fans like me who wouldn’t mind a bite or two while they listened to their favourite performances. There are 2 stages in the restaurant. Yes, for 2 simultaneous performances.Talk of a night out in Town! I'm going there again! for sure!!
