Thank you SANKARA EYE FOUNDATION !
I really want to thank SANKARA EYE FOUNDATION on behalf of 4000 people who attended Sonu Nigam Concert in Kent, WA and 8,500 from San Jose, CA. Yes when we are staying far away from home, it is such events that bring back the festive feeling.
Sankara Eye Care Institutions is among 16 global social enterprises selected for the Global Social Benefit Institute Accelerator program at Santa Clara University's Center for Science, Technology, and Society. Sankara Eye hospitals have the state-of-the-art facilities and eye related services for all ages. The Sankara Eye Foundation is supported by donors, volunteers and partners throughout the US. The majority of fundraising effort is achieved through fundraising events, booths in major events, advertising and working with major donors. Their hospitals are spread across various locations in India like Bangalore, Coimbatore, Guntur, Krishnankovil, Punjab, Rishikesh, Shimoga and another one at Uttar Pradesh is under construction. There are many ways you can get involved and help eradicate curable blindness in India, do visit their website SANKARA EYE FOUNDATION.
The auditorium was completely filled with people one hour before the show, it was no less than any festival. All families getting together chatting, laughing and waiting for the show to start.
Yes it did start with the emcee Shruthi Menon introducing Jonita Gandhi who is the playback singer for Bollywood Blockbuster movies likes Chennai Express, Highway and many more. She set up the mood perfectly so did the dancers.
Sonu Nigam made a grand entrance to the stage and the entire auditorium was filled with loud applause, screams, whistles and hoots. His chiseled features and that sweet smile and this great stage presence makes him this heart throb that he is. When he sings of course its a treat to listen to him.
He is a Magician in every way, his ability to sing in different voices and his energy is so infectious. Every single person in the audience was either clapping or humming the song or dancing along.
He has this immense skill of emotionally connecting himself with the audience and he does it so well and you can just sit there look at him, listen to his voice and just forget about everything else.
Sonu Nigam was in tears when they played a small video clip of his 2012 concert where his late mother Mrs. Shobha Nigam sings a song. Audience showered all their love and support to this singer with loud long applause.
At the end he sang peppy dance numbers and took us to whole different level of excitement and fun. People jumped out of their seats and started dancing. Right from kids to teenagers to elders everyone enjoyed themselves that night.
WOW ! It was one mesmerizing performance. There was standing ovation to these great performers - Symphony orchestra group, dancers, singers and Sonu Nigam himself. We as a audience never realized that it was 12:15AM at night already.
Before the closing ceremony, the president of SANKARA EYE FOUNDATION gave a presentation educating us with the foundation and all the good work they have been doing. Even the media partners from Balaji Entertainment joined the stage to praise the hard work of the board members.
Thanks to the organizers, particularly Suveen who helped us with the media pass in the last minute and I was able to see Sonu Nigam perform within just four feet distance.
Next time Sonu Nigam is in your city, Please don't miss that show !
