This talented 24-year old red head writes the most lovely lyrics and gives them justice by singing them in his magical voice. He is well-known not only for his melodious tunes but also for his humble and down-to-earth nature. There is no wonder that he has female fans (Sheerios) all over the world. And surely, I am one of the many. So, when his concert was announced in Mumbai, I was overwhelmed! None of my favorites have ever visited India. My best friend Suruchi and I were on cloud nine. To have the perfect concert outfit, we started our shopping strides. Clothes, headbands, hairstyles, shoes, makeup, banners, lyrical imprints and so on. Our excitement was quite as much as when a kid gets a box full of chocolates!<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Finally the day arrived. Ed Sheeran&#8217;s concert was at Mahalaxmi Race Course on Sunday, 1st of March, organised by Fly Music Festival. Suruchi and I were fully geared to witness the best day of our lives, which certainly it was. The musical evening was to start at 6 pm and we reached a tad early by 4 pm. We went to the venue and were shocked to see the long queue for the entry. We were inside the arena by 6 pm and were pleased to view the rocking stage. There was a DJ playing some good music. He was quite energetic despite the frequent chorus of &#8220;We want Ed! We want Ed!&#8221; from us.<\/span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-blU5X-EkK0c\/VPhQXYeRdSI\/AAAAAAAAAyY\/6qW_PZt1SQ0\/s1600\/20150301_180818.jpg\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-blU5X-EkK0c\/VPhQXYeRdSI\/AAAAAAAAAyY\/6qW_PZt1SQ0\/s1600\/20150301_180818.jpg?resize=240%2C320\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-u-ZPfGOACJk\/VPhQX3RWfII\/AAAAAAAAAyg\/4hwAWyuGHKw\/s1600\/img_150304_1005.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-u-ZPfGOACJk\/VPhQX3RWfII\/AAAAAAAAAyg\/4hwAWyuGHKw\/s1600\/img_150304_1005.jpg?resize=320%2C320\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;The whole time, both of us were having mood surges of extreme happiness to craziness to disbelief and then again to happiness. We were still trying to cope up with the realm of the whole thing. I am so glad to have a friend like Suruchi. She can understand my craziness, passion and love for someone who doesn&#8217;t know I exist. (That is because she shares this interest.) This evening would have been dull without you, pal!<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The concert finally began by 7.30 pm. The moment came when I saw him for the first time. Ed Sheeran was here, in my home town. I, among others, yelled at the top of my lungs at his first sight. My hands clutched my face, trying to take it all in. He entered wearing kurta and pajamas, carrying India&#8217;s flag which he wrapped around the mike. He wore Indian clothes! Now I don&#8217;t know what can possibly be more sweeter than that! His bright blue eyes matched the blue kurta and it felt like watching an angel right in front of me. &#8220;Oh I&#8217;m a mess right now&#8230;&#8221;, he began and it was followed by yelling, singing, dancing, jumping and lots of fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Kjpk2VeOA6c\/VPhQiXUrplI\/AAAAAAAAAys\/qZn5sYd1ilo\/s1600\/FB_IMG_1425389802679.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Kjpk2VeOA6c\/VPhQiXUrplI\/AAAAAAAAAys\/qZn5sYd1ilo\/s1600\/FB_IMG_1425389802679.jpg?resize=640%2C441\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: blue; font-size: large;\">Ed Sheeran performing on stage.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Tracklist<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I&#8217;m a Mess.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Lego House.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Don&#8217;t\/No Diggity\/Nina.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Drunk.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Take It&nbsp;Back\/Superstition<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Photograph.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Feeling Good\/Tenerife Sea<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Thinking Out Loud.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I See Fire.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The A Team.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Give Me Love.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">You Need Me I Don&#8217;t Need you\/Fancy.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sing.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If you view the setlist, you would understand how much all of us must have enjoyed that night. Before it all began, we were all unfamiliar people with different names, class and values. I even had an inferiority complex after watching some girls with their pretty outfits and perfect accents. But once the concert began, when we heard the golden voice of Ed, we were all united. We screamed together. We sang together. We danced together. We cried together. We all experienced such an excellent musician, made countless memories and shared an infinite level of happiness.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-GRkPdLomPrI\/VPhQiJyh57I\/AAAAAAAAAyo\/cwEvrpxBYow\/s1600\/FB_IMG_1425389793126.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-GRkPdLomPrI\/VPhQiJyh57I\/AAAAAAAAAyo\/cwEvrpxBYow\/s1600\/FB_IMG_1425389793126.jpg?resize=225%2C320\" width=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; <span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Every part of my body ached because of standing straight for 5 to 6 hours. My stomach growled as I hadn&#8217;t eaten anything in 6 hours. I was sleep-deprived. And yet, all these things were thrown in the corner for the whole 2 hours of the concert. Even though Ed didn&#8217;t see me, even though I couldn&#8217;t go to the airport on his arrival, even though we couldn&#8217;t get a &#8216;Meet and Greet&#8217; session, I felt a connection with him and that was priceless.
