Mumbai gets its first International Storytelling Festival with artists participating from Canada, Egypt, France, Japan, Spain, UK, US, and India. We're also performing as part of the festival on Sunday, 9th October 2011 at 11 am at Barfiwala Auditorium, Next to Versova Police Station, D.N. Nagar, Versova, Andheri West, Mumbai. The event is open to all. For more details on the festival, please visit their website: http://www.wordfullyyours.org

We'll have a Dastan-e-Sedition performance for the first time by Rajesh Kumar and Rana Pratap Senger. Till date Mahmood and I only have been performing the same. So, it will be exciting to see the take of these two artists on the Sedition tale.

Rendezvous at Ninasam

Apologies for the absence. We were at Ninasam, sucked into the idyllic setting of this beautiful village. Thanks to K.V. Akshara for inviting us there. More about our sojourn there later. But if you're keen to know more you can check their website: http://www.ninasam.org/

Meanwhile, I'll post info about the upcoming shows this month. A bit late in the day but please bear with us.

Thanks
