We haven't been to Kolkata. That's the conversation starter we opt for, when speaking to Nischay Parekh of the dream pop duo Parekh and Singh. Their latest album is called Science City, inspired by the largest science centre in the Indian subcontinent. Images of domes and dinosaurs surface on Google, but we can imagine it takes more dexterity to capture the essence of a place with imagery - like the duo does with their music. "As a concept, Science City is a microcosm of Kolkata. It conveys the idea of an entertainment that used to exist," Parekh tells us.

After performing in Kolkata, both he and drummer-producer Jivraj Singh were scheduled to perform in Mumbai and Delhi this week. "But we ended up selling more tickets than we expected and the logistics didn't allow for that," Parekh explains, adding that new dates will be announced today.
