Dee (@musicwithdeewood) and Rajesh (@musicman_raj), founders of The Bombay Jazz Club (@thebombayjazzclub) are the two people I go to whenever I need inspiration, advice, or just chat generally about the music scene and venues. It has been on my bucket list to have them on my podcast. We share many good memories otherwise, but in this episode, it's all about their work alongside their newest and youngest team mate Prachiti (@halfpl8). Being stalwarts in the music and finance industry, in this episode they share some of their past experiences plus the way forward. Anyone aspiring to be a part of the scene, these are the guys you should listen to.  Credits: Host: Arpana Gvalani (@arpana_gvalani).

Mobeen Ansari (@Mobeenansariphoto) and I talk about common interests in music, movies, arts etc. We share our stories on working on our coffee table book 'Breaking Boundaries', which celebrates artists with no boundaries, his experience on photographing musicians, and the random things we experienced working together. There's also a very cool Junoon (@junoonmusic) and Zoheb Hassan (@zohebhassan_) story we talk about. And many, many, more. This is the first online podcast I have recorded, so is special in many ways.

It's been over 2 months since Sidharth Sharma (@darth_sids ) and I watched our first @U2 concert together on our home turf. Second concert for me in 15 days, but first in many ways special. From being up and about from 5 am, to hanging in the GA line for an hour, to chilling for 4 hours inside the stadium with old and new friends, we recall the whole experience.  For all the hard work, we have sweet memories with lots of happy tears on the magic that happened 4 feet away from the band, AND MORE. It's a done thing that this is my most favorite episode. Sadly, not sponsored by (@bira91beer).

If you did listen to the first episode, you know what a good fruit salad can be. We had so much to talk about, so we broke it in 2 episodes.  We start this one with our common love, George Harrison, and much more.  Credits: Host: Arpana Gvalani Theme music: Astrometrics - Fire In The Mountains (edited) Creative Commons License(http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Astrometrics/Into_Hyperspace/02_Fire_in_the_Mountains) Logo Design: Salomi Shah.

These guys Yeshi (@mybutterhalf), Suva Suva (I like to call him that) (@lucidillusions.in), and @RahulNanda86 were a big chunk of my life at @Gostana. It was our living room, much like Monica's (Friends). The usual suspects missing on this episode are Bhavin (Master of Ceremonies) (@onechilledbeer) , Aabha (@bahapereyze), Anisha (@billiraani), Shibs (@lalakutty), Mittal (@akshaymittal), Saumi (@saumitramathur), VishChaparChaparvak(@prakkruth). We needed to break this into 2 episodes because we had so many fun memories about life at Gostana post 10 pm. Cameo memory includes my favorite nephew Ronak (@ronakbali).  Hear stories about music, renovation, vinyls, dancing, U2 (@U2), puppies and babies at Gostana.

Having grown up together, cousins Arpana (@arpana_gvalani) and Rakhee (@rakheegvalani) have together experienced first crushes, waghera, waghera. Here's their journey from Kumar Gaurav, to Nazia and Zoheb Hassan(@zohebhassan_), to U2 (@u2), with a dash of Manish Malhotra (@manishmalhotra05).  Host: Arpana Gvalani Theme music: Astrometrics - Fire In The Mountains (edited) Creative Commons License(http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Astrometrics/Into_Hyperspace/02_Fire_in_the_Mountains) Logo Design: Salomi Shah.

From Cusp to being in a nameless band, Saumitra (@saumitramathur) shares his OK Cupid journey to find Shunmuga and the invisible Rohan (@forkedtongue7). Secrets from Turner Road sessions to Powai jams are out in this episode. There was a special chocolate bar consumed before we recorded this episode which was NOT sponsored by BIRA Blonde.

Purely for the @U2 fans who are as mad as us Shubhayan (@tubaiography) and I. We talk and sing some songs and I'm mostly out of tune. BUT U2 ARE COMING TO INDIA. Be warned, we are random. In this episode I have also exposed my bad songwriting skills, but Yeshi (@yeshi.chaudhary), we LOU U. Make a Kiwi lemonade and order some butter chicken for entertainment.

In this episode I chat my band AnC @anctheband (I'm the 4th invisible member) about their beginnings, influences, and how they got together. We recorded this episode post midnight, after consuming 75 paani pooris, so be warned. The longest episode so far, but with many surprises, for us too. And yes, we are family....I got all my brothers with me..

The three of us got together one Tuesday night to talk about our individual journeys through music open mic events. Chirrantan Bhatt, Gaurav Jagwani , and Mohit Mukhi also had something to do with it. Listen to this episode to know will Harry (@harrythisside) be on a world tour soon? Will Sahil (@sahildhandhia) be the poster boy for Wedding Sutra or will Arpana (@arpana_gvalani) set up a buffet in her room? And so much more.  Credits: Host: Arpana Gvalani  Theme music: Astrometrics - Fire In The Mountains (edited) Creative Commons License(http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Astrometrics/Into_Hyperspace/02_Fire_in_the_Mountains) Logo Design: Salomi Shah.
