I was lucky to have met Anna while on my month long journey in Russia. 

I met her in Moscow and she turned out to be an awesome personality. A musician by profession, a jazz drummer, I went to live concerts and her recording studio. She was doing music for a film and thanks to her that I got to contribute to that film score. My name is there in end credits of that film.

I can't praise her enough, kind, generous and judging by the way she handled my questions in this podcast, tolerant.

She is about to release her first album. Let's hear what she has got to say. The only regret which I have is that, I didn't have professional recording equipment to record this podcast. Hope you can ignore the shoddiness of the microphones and hope you enjoy.

Conversation with Dmitry. I met Dmitry while he was traveling in India. A couple years later I went to Moscow and met him there. He is my first victim of coaxing people in to record a podcast. A software programmer by profession he is a jolly good and super calm person.

Book which Dmitry prescribes - Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Indian song which which is more popular in Russian than in India - Jimmy Jimmy Aja (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRSLPx0HSvw)

Conversations with people whom I met while traveling, which a photograph will never be able to capture.
