Make Great Art.
Its a good game to play in your free time, if you have no ambitions of conquering the world and having a successful startup launching roman salutes. What, in your mind, is the greatest album ever made? Or better yet, what is that one album you’d wished you had made?The latter presents a much more interesting proposition - its a question asked of you but phrased as something tangential. With the fo...
Please don’t eat musical shit
I really hate shit music. Hate listening to it, hate recommending it to other people. And I do mean hate in the strongest possible way. When there is so much good music coming from India, there is no reason to eat shit. Each one of these tracks can be the entrance to their own rabbit holes. Explore at will. Happy Listening. Please don’t eat shit.Indian Ocean - RodayAhmer - ElaanThe Down Troddence ...
Benighted
This song by Opeth - was daily listening for almost 2 years. Every day that I was in a job that I did not want to be in. For a paycheck, it sucked the soul out of me. The lyrics rung true every single day. It was my first proper job too - and my family needed the money. Those were the only reasons I stayed. I was never good at it. Never productive. It wasn’t something I studied for, yearned for or...

Black Sabbath
It all began in Birmingham. And it will end there. Black Sabbath created heavy metal.
Dreamless
There are some days when you want no music. No external sound stimulus at all. Then there are days when all you want and need is sonic violence. You may not necessarily know when that is needed. But some days, the need for it is inevitable. Insatiable even. A barrage of drums, guitars and vocals that provide the sonic boom to the tunnel focus your Brain has achieved. Its not about proving a point....
Moment of Creation
Girl from Ipanema is one of the sensuous and compelling pieces of music I’ve had the honor of hearing. But its unveiling to me was a mere side event. Compared to the magnificence that is V for Vendetta. This scene, was a crescendo. A starting gun. To a marathon of a series of questions and discoveries, that happily continues to this day. I can wholeheartedly say, this is where my education re-star...
TSP Player Profile: Varun Khilani

Last season he was good to make it to the squad, and this season he has had starts and many more playing minutes, thanks to his persistent practice and training, Varun has improved his game.
