Coldplay recently gave an electrifying performance in Abu Dhabi as a part of their Music of the Spheres tour. The band is set to return to India after eight years, with multiple performances in Mumbai and Ahmedabad in January.

Another commented, “Hmm interesting. Visa on Arrival is for everyone or those with US visa?” The individual referred to an earlier post by Palan in which she explained how getting a 10-year US visa helped her save a lot of money on travelling and get easy access to different countries.

A third expressed, “Life should be enjoyed rather than just lived. You’re living it.” A fourth wrote, “Still cheaper than the Indian Coldplay concert.”
