A gig underway place The Boho Pad

There is a quiet lane in the nether regions of Santacruz where a building called Krishna Bhavan is located. It's not one of your new-fangled societies. Instead, it's a three-storey structure that looks as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. The lift itself gives you an idea of its vintage. It's one with a black collapsible gate that travels only to the top floor, which houses the office of a production house called Bohemian Films. Shivi Arora runs it. She also owns the space. But it's her sister, Upasana, who was instrumental in turning the flat into a venue for gigs, with one concert — featuring Nush Lewis, Bryan Rodrigues and Kenneth Soares — slotted for this evening.

The event will be an intimate affair, because that's how the space — called The Boho Pad — is structured. You enter through the main door into an area that has a room with glass walls at the far end, where the production team normally sits. There's another room to the right that's recently been turned into a co-working space that can fit about 10 people. It's adjoined to a dining area with a pantry next to it. And that room leads to a large terrace, which is where the gigs are held if the musicians prefer performing in the open.
