adil and vasundhara have been playing regularly each tuesday at turquoise cottage, so it makes it worth going all the way there – the accomplished players the both are. the added incentive this time around was the fact that one of the youngest sitting member of parliament from the swank south mumbai constituency was also supposed to join them to play some mean blues. now i’d heard (and read) of milind deora being a blues guitarman (and if i’m not mistaken, he shared stage with buddy guy too when he was down in mumbai a few years back), but then we always tend to associate politicians with playing a ‘different’ kind of music.

politics and music – not necessarily the best mix.

not always though. as milind showed that night. mighty impressive the manner in which he played effortlessly that night. the fact that you were witnessing a member of parliament playing in a pub with an upturned jacket collar, denims and slippers just brought home the fact better.

adil & vasundhara – said earlier, say again – always a pleasure watching you guys.
