Doing Jalsa and Showing Jilpa

Krish Ashok is an anti-social, music loving philistine who is doing jalsa, showing jilpa, enjoying gilma, thinking about matter, vuttufying peter, sutthufying ooru and generally having gajabuja fun. Web 2.0, violin, guitar, balloon-wala flutes, pencil sketching, Terry Pratchett, Asterix, Chacha Chaudhry, Rajinikanth are some, not all, of his interests. Mixing things that don't mix in ways not attempted before is also a source of everlasting passion for him. In addition to that, he loves the city of Chennai, its auto drivers and its very expressive language, Madras Bashai (a.k.a Tanglish)

Since November 2006 however, he has added a new item to the top of this list - to seek out new and interesting ways to keep his wife smiling all the time. To do that, one either has to be genuinely funny or simply be willing to make a complete fool of oneself once in a while. I think I am slightly better off at doing the latter.

The author dabbles a little bit in music. He is determined to use his 15 years of Carnatic violin training to produce everything except carnatic music. He has an unholy obsession with musical instruments and collects them like non-rolling stones gather moss. The author also has a distinct dislike for singing (especially his own voice) and this reflects in his creative output in the form of casual, trivial and oftentimes below-par vocals.

His current solo compositions can be heard here: http://www.stage.fm/krishashok
