Mumbai girl Eesha Sukhi's memories of growing up are those surrounding her brother, Amar practising the clarinet at home. Amar, 55, who's been playing the saxophone and clarinet at various collaborations in the city for 18 years, including with the Bombay Chamber Orchestra, is more like their mother — a jazz lover thanks to her Goan roots. Eesha, 38, is like their late father, the foodie who loved Bollywood. So, it's fitting that when the siblings started a business, and that too, on family turf in Khar, it had to be a performance space-cum-café. Amar manages the music and Eesha, everything else.
