Rochelle Dsilva - Live at The Toddy Shop, Delhi

A poem for the man who taught me everything I needed to know about life.. I miss him everyday.

For my Grandfather - Rochelle D'silva

It took me a few years to write this piece. I like looking back at defining moments in my life and people who have caused my evolution. This is one such poem.

Starting Over

In conversation with Joshua Thomas for  Likh: The Process - a podcast series that highlights a wide spectrum of artists showing you how they have honed their craft and how they sustain themselves through their art.

In this episode of Likh: The Process, I talk with Joshua about  founding ‘Words Tell Stories’ and about how I got into spoken word. I also talk about my experience with organising open mics, conducting workshops and the books and EPs I've released in the last 3 years.
