Recently as part of Sydney Festival, there was A.R Rahman concert in Parramatta, Sydney. It was really good, the crowd was almost at 70,000 mostly Indians and very less anglo indians, it was a very cool show. Rahman an Oscar winning composer told the crowd that this concert is close to his heart and he was speaking in harmony for Indo Australian ties because of the recent racist violence against Indians in Melbourne.

The concert starts with Drums Sivamani. The show was on for 3 hrs, but I have just loaded three videos, concert started with Drums by famous Sivamani, See the video

Khabhi Khabi Song, one of my favourite

the concert ending with Jai Ho

Recently went a trip to grand pacific drive from Sydney to Wollongong.

We took the route via scenic tourist route via bald hill, also going via Royal National Park. You can merely pass via Royal National Park or you will have to pay toll if you picnic there. The river side picnic is exotic location.

The views before bald hill is amazing, this place is also known for hand gliding. The views from bald hill facing the ocean is simply superb.

After bald hill you will see the bridge, the cliff where the new bridge over the sea is build, which is a part of grand pacific drive, the drive is simply fantastic. You can also walk in the 800 mts bridge, but when we were driving it was mildly raining..

The drive over the bridge leaves you feeling great, and the route upto wollonging is great.

During this recession, everyone says that only China has the money .

Chinese are buying Australian assets and mineral companies day in, day out and after living in a multicultural environment in sydney along side with chinese and arabs, it makes lot of interest to know about china more than ever.

So was searching youtube on china and found this videos of chinese cities..by the way who told that china is a developing nation, it is much more developed than Australia or USA

This is the corniche road in AlKhobar. There is a showroom for Jarir Bookstore which is often visited and located in the prime area.

Somes times biking with kids is dangerous in the desert as you can see in this video I am trying to help one kid who has fallen along with the biker.

Man this sport is thrilling, adventorous and dangerous  

Desert rides are the most popular sport in these sandy beaches at Half Moon coast in AlKhobar. You can ride in motorbikes or powerful SUVs and there is huge sport activity (like gaming i guess) and you can see lot of the natives thronging there and having fun

Riding in bike in the desert is a fun but hard sport till you master the art of riding. The initial rides will leave your bike drowned in the sand and your wheels getting jammed in the sand. So you get out and pull your bike in the desert and come down and then try again.
