The Story

Some evenings are designed to be remembered. This is one of them.

"Raina Beethi Jaye" — the night passes by. But not this one.

Unschooled is an exhibition of art by children — curated by Tushaar, at one of Bangalore's most storied galleries. No formal training. No rules. Just the unfiltered courage to put something on a wall and say: this is what I see.

Raina Beethi Jaye is the musical answer to that courage. An hour of Ghazal and Classic Bollywood — intimate, unhurried, felt rather than heard.

Together they make one evening that asks: when did you last let yourself feel something?

The Performer
Dr. Anand Shankar performing

Dr. Anand Shankar

Twenty-seven years between the operating table and the stage. An Anaesthesiologist, an Army veteran, and a ghazal performer who chose music not as an escape from medicine — but as its quieter companion.

He has performed on Doordarshan's National Integration broadcasts, trained under a Presidential awardee, and sung in twelve languages. He is currently under the tutelage of a Hindustani classical guru — still learning, still listening.

On stage he carries all of it — the precision of anaesthesia, the devotion of classical training, and the warmth of someone who understands what music can do when words fall short.
