The Accident

I had refrained from posting anything about the accident and was shocked to see a variety of versions of what happened floating around and I thought it was time to clarify .. So pardon me for the late update ..

It was all going well and fine and we were rocking the shows at the Roots Music festival when on that fateful morning, the car carrying Raghu, Keith and Anung crashed off the road near a village called Gohpur on the way from Diphu to Itanagar.

All three of them were rushed to the nearest hospital which was of not much use anyway and then transferred to actual medical care in Itanagar’s RK Mission Hospital.

Raghu dislocated his left shoulder and sustained a chip fracture on his left shoulder also and was treated the same day. He is completely out of danger and is on the way to a full recovery. He has been advised a lot of rest and is back in Bangalore to just chill for a while :)

Infact, we played the show in Itanagar with Raghu coming on stage with a crepe bandage tied all over his upper body and left hand in a sling and singing and dancing and jumping around like he always does to one of the best audiences we have ever seen! over 6000 people jumping along with us made it a moment that brought a slight tear to my eye :) .. Pics of that event will be up soon .. it is something we hope to do again very very soon once Raghu recovers fully.

Keith managed to escape without a lot of injuries and was just shaken up from the accident and sustained a few bodily bruises which have completely healed.

Anung sustained the most injuries from the accident and is being treated in Delhi. I will update you about her status soon. She is completely out of danger and the doctors are still holding off from any surgery because she is recovering amazingly herself.

Thanks all of you for showing your love and appreciation and concern and I am happy to let you know that all is well on the south side of the Vindhyas!

There is a LOT more stuff happening behind the scenes which will be unleashed very soon .. so don’t you even think of going anywhere!

Back to the roots!

This is a quick blog post to let you all know that all is well and we are on ‘Roots Music Festival Tour ’08′ and are having a total blast!

The first show was in Imphal and the tour received a tremendous response! we had about 4000 people in the audience and everyone LOVED it!

The travelling party has moved from Imphal to Dimapur but a few of us stayed back in Kohima today and I recommend this place to each and every one of you!! Atleast once in your life, head to the North East of India, its an experience you will never forget :)

The band landed in Dimapur a little while back and we will be playing and unplugged set tomorrow and that should be a total blast .. I will post a better update and more pics soon .. but this is to let you all know that all is well and you can expect a TON of stuff from us :)
