On the way to the Durham Cathedral, I saw this old man sitting on the bridge just playing softly, the hits that were most definitely from his time! and it was magical how just that soft soothing music made such a difference and lifted the ambiance of the whole place

This was another picture snapped at the Lovebox festival where the vibe was all about people coming together and enjoying the music as they chilled out comfortably! and for a festival to allow for this to happen with about 50,000 people in there, is quite special! I loved this festival and would love to go back again if I possibly can and [...]

The Filthy Dukes were a band that played on the same stage as us at the Lovebox festival after us and they had a fantastic idea for marketing themselves. They gave away these blue balloons to everyone in the crowd, or atleast to as many people as they could and when the band came on stage to perform, there was a nice sprinkling of blue balloons [...]

It was a once in a lifetime chance to see 70s disco king Bappi Lahiri perform live and he did not disappoint! Just as advertised, he came by, ran through a 20 minute medley of his hits from the 70s and had the crowds jumping and dancing to it! Infact, one of the most unique things you will ever get to see is a Bappi Lahiri concert where there [...]

This particular photo was inspired by my good friend Anup who is a brilliant photographer among other things! This is a standard trick where you begin zoom in while the shutter is half depressed and zoom in completely before the shot is made. Sometimes when the light is nice, the results are just brilliant!

Indigo Children (formerly, Superfuzz) are the band to watch among the newer bands in the Indian music scene. They are tight as hell and are dynamites waiting to explode on stage! A very energetic act with very little talk on stage, they actually go fully mental when they play on stage! This picture was taken at the end of their show at Blue [...]

The Fender Electric guitar is just magical. It has a certain air about it and from experience, I have seen very many guitarists who will swear by it and it always ends up being the fender wielding guitarists that are most mature and feel based! I don’t mean to generalize, but its been my observation! Every good gutiarist has a fender [...]

A while back, I had asked all of you to suggest a name for the band I was playing with. A lot of interesting suggestions came up, but what stuck was “Allegro Fudge” which was suggested by none other than Derek Sivers himself! Infact, it was suggested as a spur of the moment thing and without even knowing what it was for! But it [...]

Siva always gets a raw deal WRT photographs during the show. Most photographers tend to focus heavily on the guys in front and neglect the drummer . However, he always has the best shots during sound check! Its quite wierd for me to be part of the band doing a soundcheck and my camera always next to me so I can click some shots for the blog! [...]

About a year back, my good friend Mark, called me and asked if another friend Ram Ganesh, author and playwright and creator of some brilliant original plays like ‘Snakes and Ladders’ (which I admittedly watched 3 times because I so loved it!) can take one of Phenom‘s songs, ‘Resurgence‘ for a short film that he [...]
