For this episode we had a someone who was part of creating Indian rock history. The vocalist for fabulous Indus Creed and the awesome Alms for Shanti,Uday Benegal, makes an appearance on IndiCast. I had asked him to join us to talk about the past, present and future of his band and also about generral things happening around him. As usual, we had to battle a few technical problems and had to edit a few awesome moments out of our chat. This episode does contain a few f*&^s here and there and it would have ruined the episode if we took them away. Morover, almost 75% of the people who took our survey said they would be fine with it.

I hope you like this episode and do comment on it. It would also be great if you could take 5 and complete our listener survey.

Intro & concluding music is an extract of Alms for Shanti’s SuperBowl performed live at Mumbai. This page has a few more of their sound clips. If you like what you hear then buy their CD.

Episode Notes:

• Uday on P2P music piracy
• How does Uday create music and his inspirations
• Why did Indus creed split
• Talent doesnt guanratee you any success in music
• What’s a record label worth if they cant market your music
• Uday’s entry into music
• Indus creed (Rock Machine) never had a manager. Imagine a rock group doing their own taxes. I pity the tax authorities.
• To get event updates, join their mailing list on their website

For 3 days in a row we have been trying to record this episode and finally it here. We had initially planned for 4 guys to be online but then it so happened that everytime we tried to conference, one of the guys in India would have network problems. So then we finally stuck to whomever we had online. Porus (yes, its porus) is a partner at M-Power Consultants, a company that specializes in handling money for NRIs.

Also, we have been guessing that most of our listeners are from US and are students et cetera but we want some solid facts now. We have created a short listener survey to know about who you are and what you like. It’ll be of great help if you could participate in our listener survey.

Episode Notes:

• Good and bad memories from Wankhede stadium.
• Pissing off bengali’s and sardars, Porus doesnt discriminate.
• Investing options for NRIs
• What the heck is NRE, NRO and FCNR? Porus explains all
• Finance is just too big a topic to cover in one episode. We will talk more about investing options in future episodes.
• Hottest investment area in India is painting.

All our bengali, sardar and gujju friends, please use the comments to send hate messages to Porus.

Aditya
