Anoushka Shankar


Anoushka Shankar (Bengali:born 9 June 1981) is an Indian sitar player and composer  in the United States. She is the daughter of Ravi Shankar, Indian sitar player, and Sukanya Rajan, a bank employee. Through her father, she is the half-sister of Grammy Award winner Norah Jones.


A.Shankar was born in London and divided her childhood between London and Delhi. As a teenager, she lived in Encinitas, California and attended San Dieguito Academy. A 1999 honors graduate, Shankar decided to pursue a career in music rather than attend college.

Anoushka is married to British director Joe Wright, and is expecting their first child in the spring of 2011.

Shankar began training on the sitar with her father as a child, gave a public performance at the age of thirteen, and signed her first record contract at 16.

She released her first album, Anoushka, in 1998. Later, in February 2000, Shankar became the first woman to perform at The Ramakrishna Centre in Kolkata. Both Shankar and her half-sister, Norah Jones, were nominated for Grammy awards in 2003.

Shankar, in collaboration with Karsh Kale, released Breathing Under Water on 28 August 2007. It is a mix of classical sitar and electronica beats and melodies. Notable guest vocals include her half-sister, Norah Jones, Sting, and Ravi Shankar who performs a sitar duet with his daughter.




In 2009, Anoushka started writing weekly columns for HT City, the lifestyle supplement of Hindustan Times. These columns appear online on social network Desimartini

On 29 November 2002, she performed and conducted at the Concert for George held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. It was held in memory of George Harrison and was modeled after Ravi Shankar's benefit concert with Harrison, the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh.


Shankar and Jethro Tull postponed a concert scheduled for 29 November 2008 in Mumbai  after the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. They reorganized the performance as A Billion Hands Concert, a benefit performance for victims of the attacks, and held it on 5 December 2008. Shankar commented on this decision stating that: "As a musician, this is how I speak, how I express the anger within me [...] our entire tour has been changed by these events and even though the structure of the concert may remain the same, emotionally perhaps we are saying a lot more."

Love

If I had written this article a year ago, I think its content would be completely different.
Love demands all of you in the end. There is no negotiation. It is not an institution. It does not make sense or have your best interests at heart necessarily, but it is all that matters when it occurs. The evolutionary psychologists suggest that this obsession is solely for the sake of pro-creation. But whether you agree or disagree with them, when it occurs, love has a one-track mind. The lover.

Orkut "Chitty"

These days, I spend few time musing over the sandies musings!.To scribble I launch this one,Which is one of my blogs(say).Its not serious|Let me start with a fairy Orkut tale|

I have a funny Orkut tale to tell.I befriended a gal on orkut and months later, discover that the person who I befriended is NOT the person I thought she was.it is someone else entirely.Amazingly her’s profile picture looks remarkably like the person I thought I had friended. In additon Chat went on....This story ended happily Yesterday,that is a good thing.She said she is...But this sort of thing could have a dark side. While I am not planning to worry too much about it
