Docs do the sing thing

Desi bass in the desert
Desi bass music producer Su Real alias Suhrid Manchanda demonstrated a snippet of his new album Twerkistan through the release of the title track as a music video.
The song also features Delhi-based vocalist Tanya Nambiar on vocals. The video, directed by Satyarth Shaurya Singh, is set in the desert and tells the story of the Sultan of Twerkistan. “From the word go, I wanted an anthemic title track for Twerkistan, and an epic video (see below) to accompany it.
The song evoked imagery of the desert, dunes and dust in my mind as the lyrics tell the story of the Sultan of Twerkistan, exiled from his sovereignty, on an epic quest to reclaim his throne,” says Su Real, who will start his pre-album tour in October. He will also accompany Nucleya on a pan-India tour when the latter launches his second album Raja Baja in September.

As we wade through mucky potholes and unprecedented traffic, sometimes even a frame like the one we’ve reproduced here, of Mandira Bedi, can surely calm the senses.
She’s in Ladakh and posted this peaceful, trippy frame of her seated smack in the middle of a road, surrounded by the rugged beauty of Ladakh. She posted: ‘Sitting chillin with my cup of coffee.
That’s what last Sunday was in Ladakh. That’s what Sundays should be.’ We think so too.
