First weekend for a while that I stayed in Delhi. We had a little launch event for a comic and film on forests Saturday night so I had to stick around for that.

Sunday I went to the 'Great Indian Rock Concert', which wasn't great, but was ok.

Unfortunately the international act that was there, Sweden's Freak Kitchen, were a terrible heavy metal group, and were supported by several equally terrible Indian heavy metal groups. I enjoyed seeing rebellious Delhi teenagers dressed up in their coolest heavy metal clothes (plenty of Iron Maiden fans keeping the spirit alive in India).

There were a couple of other bands which were ok, sounding something like The Strokes and also playing several of their covers.

The highlight was seeing 20 Indian bikies arriving on their fat motorcycles in synch with each other...they all rode up to park at the same time, roared their engines for a minute or so, then got off their bikes and started posing.
