Nikhil, Nikhil & I

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…

In the Garden

Here’s a song I recently recorded on a friend’s request. She didn’t really specify a song, so I just went ahead with this one. This is Brad Paisley’s version of a spiritual song.

Khajjiar – Paradise Unmatched

Nikhil and I finally made our Himalayan journey and spent 4 days in Khajjiar, also known as the Mini Switzerland of India. The journey to the place was simply fabulous right from Dalhousie, another hill station. The clouds were right with us and the roads, trees and everything else looked fascinating. Both of our cameras…

My Rifle My Pony & Me

After my plan to Leh (roof of the world) was canceled, Nikhil and I are searching for a new location. Check out some of the photos from my recent trip to the Himalayas (Almora, Kausani, Bageshwar, Haidakhan, Mahavatar Babaji’s Cave path, and some other random clicks).Rains came yesterday night, which took away some of the…

Mighty Himalayas

I am on my way to Himalayas this weekend to feel the mist, the mountains, and the peace that comes with it. Hopefully the staleness that has crept within me will melt away as I spend my extended stay in India. The places I will be visiting are Kausani, Almora, Dwarahat (in search of Babaji’s…

Song for All Lovers

After You & You Alone, where Justin showed his vocal skills, it’s now turn for another John Denver song, which I performed on the Keedy dinner night. JD wrote this song for his 93 year old friend Marty and her late husband Olis, and how they loved to waltz out in the frozen tundra of…

You and You Alone

From My Sweet Lady, the next song in the Keedy Dinner Series is You and You Alone. I wrote it last year for my brother and sister-in-law on their wedding anniversary. Justin and I recorded it back in November and got some very good reviews. We decided to do it again for the folks that…

Keedy Musical Begins

I was finally able to edit and upload the first song that Justin and I did during our Dinner at Mr. Keedy’s. We started out with an Eagles song called Seven Bridges Road and then we moved on to Back Home Again by John Denver. The idea was to start the other song with the…
