When we played in Pune last year we decided we weren’t going back without cake and cookies from the famous German Bakery. Enjoying them in Bangalore the next day, we didn’t foresee having to reflect on that simple pleasure like this.

Terror could have struck then as it did on the night of February 13, 2010. But we lived to write this. And we shall make the most of the life and joy granted to us.

It is somewhat edifying that we were able to reach out to Pune on February 14. Opus Pune webcast the One Small Love concert live to its patrons.

Thank you for turning up (and turning down your other Valentine’s Day engagements) and for your support and encouragement right through this initiative.

What does it take to draw the line? Gaurav Vaz, bass guitar player for the Raghu Dixit Project and a Bangalorean whose heart beats for Mangalore, tells us. Watch the video.

“One Small Love – Bangalore for Mangalore” – a celebration with music, food and free speech with performances by Konarak Reddy, Allwyn Fernandes, Gaurav Vaz, Karan Joseph, Ravi Kulur, Gerard Machado, Swarathma and Thermal And A Quarter. 7 PM, Feb 14
Special thanks to Merwyn Rodrigues for the poster. And, eternally, to the incredible folks at Happy for dreaming up the music video that started it all.
