Asheem will definitely be missed by all of us and Indian Ocean where he sang, played tabla, tarang apart from other Indian percussion instruments.
Let the soul of Asheem Chakravarthy RIP.

Rusty Moe, the rock band from Chennai has released a new single for Christmas called Rockin Around The Xmas Tree. They performed the single at Live 101 – Rocking Christmas last week. And I knew that the song was a winner the first time I heard it. I’ve been listening to the song on a loop ever since Divyan gave me the song! Perfect song for this Christmas!
