I know some girls who make music come out de pipe (maybe other places, too).
They love to play the organ, it would seem like  .

Ah yes .... the brother of Hari Wankar...Hari couldnt play the sitar like his brother but he was a regular on Don Krishna's rock concert.
The good ole days. Hari and Krishna putting a show of all shows-made brother Ravi's sitar seem like Felix Tounbuckle on a haystack of panjeros.

Toyota named a car after him?? What car was that 
I'm currently trying to communicate "service A/C's" to someone who claims to speak English (but doesnt understand what the term means). Welcome to BOONESVILLE! :-S

The car
the Ravi4 i think it was called
Who remembers Shankhur Anis?? well known as one of the dirtiest footballers in India.
Shankhur would go in, unprotected, under great pressure, and "do the needfull" . often coming out with a black eye or dirtied by the poor condition of his opponents side.

Hmm, haven't met many from Australia 
But come to think of it, I've met quite a few from the USA so it could be an American name.

Sure is! Now KP is a force to reckon with in the English team, though one can't help but feel he'd be better off staying with the South African team, who've got far more balls than the English team does  .
