Strike A ChordS02E04: Music, Movies, and Arts with MobeenMobeen Ansari (@Mobeenansariphoto) and I talk about common interests in music, movies, arts etc. We share our stories on working on our coffee table book 'Breaking Boundaries', which celebrates artists with no boundaries, his experience on photographing musicians, and the random things we experienced working together. There's also a very cool Junoon (@junoonmusic) and Zoheb Hassan (@zohebhassan_) story we talk about. And many, many, more.

Strike A ChordS02E03: U2 @ Home with SidIt's been over 2 months since Sidharth Sharma (@darth_sids ) and I watched our first @U2 concert together on our home turf. Second concert for me in 15 days, but first in many ways special. From being up and about from 5 am, to hanging in the GA line for an hour, to chilling for 4 hours inside the stadium with old and new friends, we recall the whole experience.
For all the hard work, we have sweet memories with lots of happy tears on the magic that happened 4 feet away from the band, AND MORE.
