The South Asian Bands Festival 2013 at Purana Qila, the oldest heritage structure in Delhi. My band What’s In The Name represented India on the closing day of this amazing festival, which had the best indie bands from across south Asia perform over three days. A stage jump went wrong and my knees dislocated during the fall. An army of over 6,000 energetic and cheering audience members helped me survive the pain and perform with full power for another 30 minutes. I ended up with a dual ligament tear in my knee beyond repair and spent months handicapped post-surgery.TCT : How would you like to be remembered?
