The conversation is over, but the most obvious question of the interview has been left out: Why is their band called Namo Fusion? In an age when Namo only means NaMo, Dr Narayan Raman and Sarosh Izedyar clarify that they have named themselves after the Sanskrit term, which means bowing down, to bring a sense of humility to the stage.

Raman, 50, and Izeydar, 48, whose band is around seven years old, will be taking the stage at an Andheri East pub this week to perform the release of their first-ever album, Namo. Izedyar, a guitarist, says, "Narayan and I have known each other for a long time. We met at a concert years ago during a Navratri event and then he [Raman] went for his studies to the US. After he returned in 2012, we connected and started working on some music together."
