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…
Here is another marvel of a Nazm by Dr Rahi Masoom Raza. Enjoy!
I wrote this back in August of 2003 and strangely quite a few people liked it back then. I just found it today hiding beneath my stack of sheets. So I thought I would put it up here. The photo is of Kalatop Rest House at Khajjiar, Himachal. Peace~ Stopping by the house on my…
Haven’t had a chance to write or record anything in last 3 weeks due to my move from Michigan to California. Google is keeping me busy and other than getting lost on highways once in a while, things are not that bad. Last night I wrote a Nazm before going to bed around Midnight. Slightly…

I have been listening to Slim Whitman for about last 9 years or so since the day I stumbled upon his CD back in my college days. I cherish his yodeling and his mellow, romantic and clean-cut songs. His yodeling reminded me of the Hindi singer Kishore Kumar when I first heard his songs. This…
Both me and my older brother grew up listening to the Gentle Giant of Country Music, one of the Greatest Crooners of all time, Don Williams, or Don Chacha (Hindi for Uncle) as we used to call him when we were kids. This was one of the first songs I learned to play on Guitar…
