….still can’t get enough of him
…. still mourning perhaps the biggest musical loss of my generation
…. am sad about not having heard any of his songs for last many years….until this week
….worried about mortality, pain, success and when they all get muddled up
…. loneliness
….happy to see he still had so many fans, and that they [...]

It’s been more than a day since the world received the fateful news. I am still in shock. Have not stopped thinking or reading about it, and the sadness is still persisting.
My first introduction to western (non-Hindi) music was through “Bad” – which I borrowed from my chhote-mama over a summer vacation and played back-2-back [...]

Like many many millions in the world, I am going to miss Rick Wright as his death means I will never get to see the full Pink Floyd band perform together. They were the greatest band ever!!

The Summer of 2007 just becomes more wholesome every weekend. I have yet to share many stories, but let me start with this one for now…
We were at Stern Grove yesterday. Check it out at www.sterngrove.org . Its a series of free concerts in San Francisco, every Sunday, throughout the summer. In its 70th year, [...]

When I am tired of listening to the sales guy in the neighboring cubicle repeat his sales pitch for the N000′th time, I resort to http://www.virginradio.co.uk. Yes, this sometimes starts at 9:00 am in the morning. I recommend this station for its great selection of classic and contemporary rock. It throws in a pop song [...]

I am really happy to finally tell you all why I called this blog rock’n’roli.
I love rock music. Have loved it for years, and there’s no signs of aging yet. Infact one of the reasons why I wanted to come to US was to be able to see all my favs playing live. Being in [...]
