The Rain's Gone and the Jam's on! Bandra, 19th August

Great Weather, No rain, most of the gang there, great audience, great energy! Them are the keywords. It was fun to be back after missing two Sundays of the jam. We are the Jam-addicts! I have realized that the Jams are so amazingly de-stressing that for the next 2 days days at least, I feel great! the jam is great outlet for the all the stuff we go through, through the week, and a great outlet for saying your heart out..

The jam went great, with lots of participation from the people, specially a guy called Deva, who is one hell of a singer and it was great playing for him..and Another guy from Uttar Pradesh who sang a song he composed to reach out to God when his brother's son was hanging on his lifeline..Among other songs we sang Bandeh from Indian Ocean, with a nice intro..singing that songs makes me feel hell of a lot better..And I think we introduced the concept pretty well this time..that we want all of the people to forget what cars we ride, or how big a house we live in, or how many achievements we carry in our pockets..and for once just forget all the loads of gyaan and judgements we carry in our heads about others..and be one on this platform of music..

Pulin was playing with his usual finesse, Kailash with his energy, Gauri singing and cheering all the way, great jugalbandis between the three percussionists-Tarun, Kaviraj and Chintan..Danish, Khyati, Vijeeth, Bharti all there with their customary energies..And we had the honour of having 3 pro shutterbugs- Nishant, Arjun and Alok covering the jams for us.. 'And I say to myself what a wonderful world'!! Here's the picture log:


Towards a more picturesque jam: Bandra with its beauty caught by our pro shutterbug Alok.






Great Audience who does not complain and bears us and moreover participates in murdering songs with us!





'The Wind cries mary': Here we go!




Deva (Guy in center) was singing so well he made the day!




Tarun and Sanjay 'Freeze lightning'!!




Wah kya baat hai! the night matures the mehfil and fun ensues!




The 'Guitar Row': Kailash, Pulin, Vinay, Tarun. Pulin who plays amazing, likes to keep a low profile..so he gives the shutterbugs an often miss..!




Kailash, Pulin, Vinay 'Bringing it on'!




Respite! Wind up at last!
