Srikala Nalkoor - Om Shanti Om
Mumbai


Deepika-pacchi ahemm padukone made GSBs proud by her cast in Om Shanti Om. The GSB involvement just got even better with Srikala presenting a song from the movie Om Shanti Om. Lets hope Shahrukh is replaced too by a GSB, so that our chendi chelli remains within the community :-P..

Jokes aside, here is a lovely debut performance by Srikala!

Chutney Chat with Abhang Gulvady

In our series of interviewing members of the Idli House Council (the team behind Radio Idli), Samiir Halady interviews our ever-smiling and sporting Abhang Gulvady.

Abhang is a software professional and works in Pune. He is an accomplished Tabla player and comes from a family of great Musical Maestros. In our group he is known for his magnificent levels of energy, though he defiantly appears as a silent smiling person in the corner. So here we go with Abhang's interview (keep your speaker volume higher to hear the background music):
