Music+Food at Kamat Bugle Rock

There are not many restaurants in Bangalore with a chance to enjoy Classical Indian music and food together. Kamat Bugle Rock in Basavanagudi is one place for that. On Friday night, one of our music friends was performing and it was a good change for my wife and I to visit that place for dinner. Apart from music, 'jOladdh rotti' (corn roti), North Karnataka's main food, is the attraction of this restaurant. When we were listening to music, hot rotti-s were being prepared across the aisle. Cooks were patting the rotti-s (an authentic way; here, rotti-s are not rolled or automatically pressed) with their hands and were directly baking them on low flame stoves. Men with white 'Gandhi cap', green kurtha and white dhoti help in serving these 'jOladdh rotti-s' to customers. Unlimited dinner for little over $2 is worth the price.

Returning back to India

This blog will go for a long discussion within me. If this is Chapter 1, there will be many more chapters to come till I make a decision. Very often, I get this question - "Should I go back?" If so, when? Sometimes I feel, I should. Other times, I don't see the need. This change of answers inside me is just swinging like a pendulum. I have seen people being in this phase and then finally deciding to go back. The end result is so much to take and give that it is a total change of life for someone who has lived outside India for nearly 5 years. Hasn't India changed in the past 5 years? Can I adjust to the latest society and trends? How is it to live in a busy city and work in an office 20 miles away from home. How is the work environment in India? I don't know have an answer to the last question as I haven't worked in India. What will I get going back to India? That is a touch question to answer too. In simple sense, I will get back to 'my' place - the f...

The most abstract question in music

When people come to know that I am into classical music, first thing they ask is, 'how do I recognize a raag?'. If they know some form of music, I might start explaining them something. If they don't know anything about music theory, I would start seeing the clock. Explaining from scratch takes a while and needs some patience from me and from the listener. When I practise with people who know music, but not much of the classical style, it is very interesting to see how they start picking my explanation. With a few examples from the movie songs or by playing some notes on the keyboard or the guitar, it becomes a good proof to what I say. On some occasions, it turns out that the listener plays some of his own things coming out of his/her mind or the one which he/she composed. It is fascinating to realise that they really did a nice composition and they did not know the 'raag' or 'melody' of that. Then, I start asking myself, "do we need to know the term ...
