Dude its been ages… but I’m back and buzzing with stories for ya (in all their audio & video glory coming soon!) First up lets turn back time to last Thursday at Hard Rock Cafe. The eye-candy crew from Penn Masala brought the house down (and the heart rates of all the girls up) with killer shows in both Delhi and Bombay thanks to Karan Wadhera from Cashmere Asia who set up the gig, remember I told you his brother Naveen Wadhera is the guy who started the group 6 years ago at the University of Pennsylvania? The Bombay show was particularly packed and although I spent most of my evening shuttling up and down the stairs making sure the VIPs weren’t getting shafted at the door by an extraordinarily stupid handler *SIGH* but I still had a blast! This may be in part due to the open bar and incredible fire tricks performed by HRC’s big daddy Sanjay Mahtani 🙂 But just in case you missed it, here’s a bunch of audio/video from my radio show when they were on, plus pictures from the night, Enjoy!
