About Me

its always hard to fill in an about me section.. either when you read through it you think to yourself "man i sound like im bragging about myslef".. or the other side of the spectrum which would be " what a sad life i must lead" haha.. well to save myself the trauma of re-reading and re-writting this a hundred times over to see what would be the cool, interesting , and socialy acceptable way to describe myself .. ill leave the judgments up to you .. im your semi regular global gypsy type dude, who has his share of responsibilities that no ammount of partying , introspection or intoxication could ever shirk off.. i try to balance my duel life of being a full on business man here in india (family business like most good indian boys ) and also being a trance dj who owns his own record label ;) so as you could see my life is a bunch of opposites all piled into one.. and I love it!!!anyway i guess my random rambling has not really gotten you any closer to learning about me.. or maybe it has.. hmmmmmmmmm ?!? the rest you will have to figure out for yourself.. aiiiiight ;)www.thirdeye-records.comThird Eye Gig Guide * NYE Greenspirit Thailand .

My Interests

well music would have to be my first passion, from writting , listening or performing its all part of the vibe.. i love travelling as much as i can to break out of the normal work world and try and explore alternate realities, i love watching movies and being the most lazy dude around , or being out for 3 days straight causing trouble around the city :) love , life , music and food would have to be my interests

I'd like to meet:

aldous huxley, richard branson , jim morisson , timothey leary , donald trump, howard marks , frank sinatra and anyone i met through my amazing journey of life.. through my days of Highschool at cathedral in bombay... Boarding school @ the United world college Singapore and then 'college' in the states or while living in NYC for that one year of total debauchery haha :)

Music:

well its quite the mix of styles and genres , my parents are full on music aficionados as well as being musicians themselves.. so as you may imagine ive grown up with allot of varied influences. everything from coltrane , to frank sinatra , the beatles , doors , CCR , fleetwood mac , the who , king crimson , then into more alternative rock vibe with the wallflowers , stone temple pilots , live , tonic , the verve , oasis , old pearl jam , gin blossoms , as well as stuff like dave mathews band , ben harper, phish etc.. and now ofcourse im into much more electronic stuff , allot of ambient / chillout, allot of fusion and for sure plenty of good old Goa style psy trance ..

Movies:

wayyyy too many for me to list out here cause im a movie fan not a critic . but ones that have left a strong impression on me , the deerhunter , godfather , fear and loathing in las vegas , ferris beulers day off , crash , intacto (spanish) , pie , waking life , motorcycle diaries , apocalypse now , dead man walking , amorres perros , paradise now , la haine , the original matrix , the big lebowski , carlitos way , scarface , dog day afternoon , a bronx tale , boys in the hood , the usual suspects , and most recently (i know its cheesy) but pirates 2 dead mans chest . johnny depp is the king ;)

Television:

lost , prison break , simpsons , 24 , family guy , cribs , pimp my ride , the osbournes , carnivale , the office , entourage

Books:

the traveller , shantaram , da vinci code , the third eye , mr nice , it , angels and demons , black angel , the celestine prophecy , the rule of four , true hallucinations and anytihng by casteneda , stephen king , coelho

Heroes:

pretty much the same as the people i want to meet , as well as everyday people who stand up for peace , love and freedom.. and do what they beleive in ... as one freaked out cross dressing camp brialliant musician once wrote "I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing Will drive them away We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be us Just for one day" .... bowie
