Black Coffee Acoustronix

Told you I'd be back soon..and how!
I'd like to introduce Black Coffee Acoustronix, an incredibly talented, professional and stellar musical ensemble by Mayookh Bhaumik, the mastermind behind Black Coffee. Together with Tritha Sinha, Ghatam Somnath, Joy B and Tapash Roy, Black Coffee is probably one of the most original and inspiring bands I've ever heard. Alongside their mind blowing live shows, the energy they put into their music is probably the most entertaining this city has ever experienced. I hope you (especially Tritha & Mayook) like these shots..
Next time, I'll make sure to shoot the entire band!

Love,
Ro

Bam!

Yes, so fast, so good!
The Flower Market
Calcutta in the Rains!
AND
War of the Worlds: Nature vs. Nature and Man vs. Nature




Giant May Flower (Gul Mohar) Tree struck down by lightening.
Workers, young and old, systematically hacking it to pieces..
Therein lies the Circle of Life.



At the Lakes, post storm with Niko, Shaswaty and Alaric



A Kingfisher Bird! I hadn't seen any at the Lakes till yesterday, I think the rains brought out the best.

Giant Escargot. I had to stop Alaric and Niko from starting a BarBQ a la Escargot for dinner.


Fun with Alaric on the terrace..he spies with his little eye...me!AND lastly, I spy with my little eye, four pluckable mangoes!

Back with Black Coffee. Stay tuned.
Love,
Ro
