Sitar, Sitar

Tonight Ellen, David (one of the Disney guys) and I went down to Colaba for a sitar concert. The maestro was pretty young and reminded me of Joaquin Phoenix. His dad, who sat in the front row, was very vocal about the performance. At one point, we walked up to the stage and said something to his son. The audience was really into it and often gasped at the intense moments of the songs. My favorite part was this HUGE, bright advertisement that was draped on the wall behind the sitar player. It was basically a giant billboard advertising the sponsor of the event. Afterwards, we went to dinner at a place called Trishna's, which was themed like a boat (?) Delicious lobster, king crab, and prawns (Indian style, of course). A fun, cultural evening in Mumbai.

And for some reason, I felt compelled to play Rumours when I got home...
