Yogiraj Ashram Lane, on the fringes of Kalina in Santacruz, is a meandering stretch that leads to a dead end. The only clamour in the area is that of people talking, or haggling with the vegetable vendors, along with chants from the nearby gurdwara. In fact, when an auto rickshaw enters the narrow lane, it turns heads. Neil Mukherjee - the guitarist behind songs like Senorita (Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara) and Que Sera Sera (Pukar) - lives in one of the buildings here, away from the pandemonium. The 46-year-old, who has worked with the best music directors in the industry, prefers to keep a low profile. But after years of confining his work to the studios, he is all set to come out of the shell and play more on stage. He took the first step by releasing an EP, Local Guitar, recently. It has eight tracks where six of them are available in the video format, shot by Tenny Thomas.
