Since they have been married, musician Joel 'Veena' Eisenkramer and music lover Vidhi Salla have been chasing the sun. They spend half the year in Vermont, his home in the US, and when temperatures dip to minus five, they flamingo to Mumbai. An Indian slide guitar player, Eisenkramer and Salla, bonded over music from day one.

"My musical background is only listening to radio in India," says Salla. "Vividh Bharati was on in our house pretty much all the time. So, that's how I absorbed Bollywood music passively. And then, I actively sought out ghazals, bhakti songs, a little bit of classical. By the time I met Joel, I had attended live Indian classical concerts by Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pandit Jasraj, and several others." They met in Pondicherry in 2016. "I was managing a heritage hotel, and he had come to play a concert there. Two years later, we were married."
