So, this isn’t a Life List item, but pretty important for me to have done it. At least once! I’m talking about visiting a karaoke bar and actually singing a song in public there! Ok, well, so there wasn’t really a lot of public around, but well.
I was holidaying in Goa during my 24th birthday with two friends. Post dinner we headed to the karaoke bar upstairs, notes from where we had heard during our dinner.
No one knew me in Goa, and it was my birthday, so I shook off the shyness and took the plunge. The song that was sung: Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns ‘N’ Roses.
Tip: It was SO much fun, all of you MUST do it. And yeah, karaoke bars are definitely going to see more of me!

That’s one of my favorite-most song, but I am sure I am never ever going to sing that in public, or for that matter any other song – KUDOS to you
(and belated Happy Birthday!)

Listen, you must. At least once. Just for the experience. Go to a place where you don’t know anyone, won’t be too embarrassing then
And thank you for the wishes : )

My hubs and I were just talking about Karaoke… it is SO fun, especially when you are in a new place – no need worrying about looking silly! GREAT song choice too… I bet it was a blast! Hmmm… now I have to look for a place, other than the flat, to belt out some tune-age!
Sosha
Go for it! Sing one on my behalf

Hehehe, wonder if the already scanty crowd dispersed! Okay, just kidding, Sosha! I’m sure it was fun

This is something I really want to do! But I think it may require some liquid courage and a few enthusiastic friends to get me up there
