I needed this experience to get away from my stressful pianist lifestyle. It was a form of spiritual rejuvenation. For weeks we didn’t have any hot water and a few times I ate food so spicy, that I literally fainted seeing stars and visions of the maharaja in front of my eyes. We were a fun group of wild musicians and hit some of the major cities including Chennai, Mysore, Bangalore, Delhi, and Agra where we concluded with the monumental Taj Mahal.
