Similar rhythms
RANJIT HAD to audition for his dancer-mother, Sitara Devi, in a music store to be gifted a drum set while Amit had a father "who did not know the repercussions of buying his son a guitar from England".

That does not stop them from indulging in their time-honoured tradition of pulling each other's legs. You realise later that you've escaped by a whisker when you catch them in their act. Soon even that is laughed off as the duo gets ready to talk about everything under the sun, but with a dash of music. SUBHA J. RAO enjoys
