Welcome Advaith! Happy Silking... My short tryst with the Bangalore music scene came about around 6 years ago when I was consulting for and launched a project called Kyra Theatre in Bangalore... brilliant concept that didn't last long for various reasons, which I won't go in to right now. Today, my music scene is completely influenced by suggestions and moods of my musically-inclined 14 year old daughter! :)
