In progress: the authorised biography of Indian composer Vanraj Bhatia
As Bhatia's archivist and a lifelong fan of his music, I'm currently writing what I hope will be the definitive book on the man and his work, equal parts biography and musicology. I plan to interview as many people who have known Bhatia and/or worked with him as possible: musicians, filmmakers, family, friends, anyone. If you are one of them, or know someone who is, please get in touch!
