A window to my world ...

The Charming Charminar !!! The Cat and the Bat at Ramoji Film City !!! :) Date: 16th,17th Feb Junta : Guru,Raghu and myself I'm just back from a short trip to hyderabad,which was actually meant to be an obligatory visit to my relatives,but turned to to be a very pleasant experience. On Saturday we visited Charminar,went through the streets lined with shops selling "authentic" pearls,bangles and the most colorful/gaudy/jazzy clothes for women.Its a different experience walking through the colourful crowded streets ,bustling with life with hawkers selling samosas,and channawalas and bangles and what have u ..And also the madina masjid besides charminar,retains the old world charm.You'll see hundreds of pigeons flocking there ,and over the minarets.Its all so beautiful in its own.When you visit Charminar,go there ready for all of the crowd,else u'll find it very irritating.Next we visited the Birla temple and the next day we went spent the whole day in Ramoji film

I had a rocking time at the Unity Concert,a part of Unmaad 2008,hosted by IIM bangalore, this weekend.It was so much full of energy and Veene,my brother and I had a great time.There were 2 bands performing :The Pakistani band strings and the Indian band called Mrigya.I liked the novel concept in one of the presentations by Mrigya in which there was a fusion of Rigveda chanting and reading the Azan .It sounded heavenly.Also besides the bollywood medly mix by Strings was very entertaining and had the entire crowd there joining in. So the count of my live shows have increased and I am looking forward to many more. [ Lucky Ali ,Hariharan,Kailash kher, Atif Aslam (Jal Band),Pankaj Udhas ,SivaMani ,and now Faizal(Strings)!!! )
