One Amazing Thing I've Done
Here is a list of bands I have seen live: Metallica, Megadeth, Machinehead, The Prodigy, Lamb of God, Karnivool, Testament, Periphery, Slayer, Biffy Clyro, Iron Maiden. Love my job cause I get to see most of these bands for free Pretty much traveled the length and breadth of India with the band Swarathma in the last 2 years.Loved doing shows at places like Ooty, Coorg, Jaipur and Indore. Small town India is amazing. Been to Singapore as well. We played at The Esplanade next to Singapore River. One of the best live music venues I have seen till date. Been to The Eden Gardens a handful of times during my days in Kolkata. I am as obsessed with cricket as anyone else from India. Being a fan of cricket watching a game at the Eden Gardens with 80,000 people was always an experience. On a sunny morning in February 1999 Pakistan were 26/6 and Javagal Srinath had taken 4 wickets in 3 overs. I was there. Best spell in test cricket I have seen so far.

Love spreading the word about new bands that I discover. Places that serve good food.
