Before I left Michigan in February this year, I went to see Dr. Raju, who is very well respected in the Greater Lansing (Michigan) area for his spiritual knowledge. I discussed certain incidents that happened during and before the Mahabharata War. I shot a video of him speaking. Such discussions are very much missed by [...]
I shot this little video at Charleston Park, which is right beside Google’s Main Campus at Mountain View, California. After doing my laundry this morning, this was the first when I actually went to check out the park. I thought of tying the video up with a poem I wrote couple years ago. Enjoy! There’s [...]
I reached Sunnyvale yesterday after a 1-day delay at Lansing on Friday. I’m currently staying at a temporary corporate apartment provided by Google. The hunt for wheels and a roof is on! I’m looking forward to my first day at Google tomorrow. Weather here is cold (between 45-55), but certainly no freezing temperatures. I took [...]
I decided to record an oldie tonight by Cliff Richard, one of my dad’s favorite singers. He was England’s answer to America’s Elvis Presley in the 50s. Born to Anglo-Indian Parents in Lucknow, India in 1940, he is one of my favorite singers too. I dedicate this song to my dear Father . Here is [...]
Quite an inspiring flash presentation found on Canadian Bible Society’s site. It was sent to me by a Michigan State University Professor, Dr. Reddy, who also conducts Gita class at the local Indian Lansing Temple on Sundays. Take a few moments and watch it.

After Le Chale Le Chale, here is another song (finale) performed by MSU’s Indian Graduate Students during SARGAM night last month. The original is by the Indian fusion band, Indian Ocean. It is about terrorism and how we can make earth a better place to live. This one’s another recent favorite of mine to play [...]
Last night I decided to record a video to kill some time. It’s an old Kishore Kumar song from the Hindi movie, Shalimar. Just a first acoustic attempt. There’s always room for improvement. It’s an easy song to play on Guitar. The audio is a bit choppy at times, but the overall video is alright. [...]
On our way to the Himalayan Paradise Khajjiar, Nikhil and I stopped at Jalandhar to halt the journey and met up with my school chum, Nikhil. He came over to the hotel and after dinner we chatted and played some songs. Here’s a (grainy) video I shot of Nikhil (the guitarist!) playing guitar and singing [...]
After sending an Independence Day SMS to my sister in law, I realized that I should post this video of Capt. Lal reciting some Urdu Poetry during another one of our Sher o Shayri evenings that we enjoyed last year. He starts off with a patriotic poem by Bismil Allahabadi, a great freedom fighter and [...]
My trip to Khajjiar, which is still etched in my memory presented paradise in its own way. Here is a video Nikhil made while we made our trek to the top of the Kalatop Forest. It was a pretty dense forest full of many kinds of animals though we were only able to spot a [...]
