Cubbon Park is the only place in India where comics just get up onto a bench and do stand up. I recently had the pleasure of both performing at and talking shop with one of the fellows who founded the idea, Falah.

Talking Shop 01 - On Cubbon Park With Falah

While I was in Bangalore I really wanted to catch a hold of some, if not all of the founding fathers of the scene there. Luckily enough I was able to catch Sundeep Rao and Ahmed Shariff who were kind enough to give their time and insight into comedy and Ahmed's life (you'll hear it). After the recording of this, Sundeep went on to do one of the most killer sets I've ever seen in my life. Ever! So have a listen, specially if you're a comic starting out. It'll definitely give you some great insights. Here's a link to the article about that night's performance:

Feelings & Shit Ep.3 Comedy Amongst Other Things With Ahmed Shariff, Sundeep Ra

It took me a while but in Chennai I had the chance to force the very funny Kritarth Shrinivasan (@ComicCurry on twitter) to sit down and talk about comedy and cricket and his travel company, On Rustic Routes. Give it a listen, this guy is headed for the top! 

In case you haven't read the gig diary mentioned in the interview, here! Read it! Read it now! NOW! Sorry.

Feelings & Shit Ep.4 Travel, Cricket, Chomu Etc With Kritarth Srinivasan

On the 30th of December, a few years ago, my cousin sister passed away in a car accident. Since then, every Raksha Bandhan has been a painful reminder of how much I miss her. Well here's to you, sis. Hope heaven's got good tunes.

Lyrics:

Sister Superior, you've been gone for a while,
I've been trying real hard to smile.
I've been walking 'round sister, I've been feeling real low,
Don't know what I know.

And I hope, that you're happy.
Oh I Hope, heaven's got good tunes.
If I could, write a better story.
Oh I would... Yeah I would.

Sister Superior,
I've been missing you so much, 
That I've been feeling out of touch,
With the date and time. 
Try to forget you, 
But you've been holding on to my thoughts,
Yeah sister, can't get you, can't get you out of my mind.

Sister Superior
