She probably gulped down music with every meal in her childhood. Why not? Not every child would have had George Harrison (The Beatles) sitting in the next room, trying to figure out the grammar of the sitar, from her father. Sitar player Anoushka Shankar — daughter of the late Pandit Ravi Shankar — absorbed the best of both worlds. Her fingers explore uncharted territories on the fretboard; she loves collaborating and experimenting keeping the textbook Classical style intact. The 35-year-old is all set to promote her new album, Land of Gold, with a series of concerts in India next month. Her first stop is the NH7 Weekender in Pune.
