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…

Khush Raho Ahal e Watan

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…

Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary

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…

Both of our cameras…

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…
