I have woken up to an extremely mind blowing piece of news. It’s only a miracle that I’m managing to type this out without caps lock, because what I’m feeling right now needs caps lock. In fact, I don’t think caps lock is going to cut it.
It all started with AIB’s Rohan Joshi Instagraming a video of Chris Martin from Coldplay playing at a Delhi bar. I will give you a moment to process the previous sentence.
And then he posted this picture!
Obviously, selfies were shared all over social media *stabs self*

A fan who was there (unlike you and I), sent a video to Buzzfeed India that they uploaded on their page:
The good people at @alittleanarkyfilms also shared video snippets from the night *continues stabbing self*

Vishal Dadlani solved the big mystery saying…
It wasn’t an event. We were at a dinner together, and he just went ‘let’s go play somewhere’! And, boom! @karshkalemusic

Yes yes! Chris Martin can just “go play somewhere” at a whim! WHAT IS HAPPENING!
Delhi, actually. Summer House. More jam, less gig. Chris did all the work, though. People were going apeshit. https://t.co/ph6zwHga0E

Oh, and did I mention Freida Pinto was there too?

I have encircled Freida’s face with yellow because “Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow”. *tears*
And in the bigger scheme of things, the AIB boys have had the last laugh… *death*
Hahaha, just introduced Chris Martin to come do a small set at summerhouse cafe at hauz khas. What?

I can now officially say I introduced Chris Martin on for a set. Holy. Shit.

My reaction when I heard that Chris Martin was in Delhi apparently…

My reaction when I found out it was actually true…

And you know the worst part? I am from Delhi! I moved to Bombay three years ago and never have I regretted it more than this day. Like, I just about got used to the fact that living in Bombay, alcohol in my life is always going to come to me with higher taxes and now I have to wrap my head around the fact that Chris Martin just randomly goes around Delhi bars performing. The struggle is real.
For this round: Mumbai 0, Delhi 1.
In other news, I met a fabulous celebrity last night at a bar too…

I just felt the need to tell you guys that.
