We also insist on telling you about our these two odd FOUNDER MEMBERS and some special folk from 'those' days ...

Prashant 'shetty' Bahadur ... founder, initial guitarist with, no wait, even before Sonam ... when we first got a-jammin' that june of ' 91 ... quit while the going was good and is presently "with" the supposed ball of life etc, playin it in Mumbai...

whatever that ball is ... Rahul 'mallu' Malhotra has always had a bigger 'un of those ... firstest ever drummist with parikrama those KMC days ... rehearsals are never the same without him :-( Docked in Kobe(Japan) anow ..

and then there's Mr Chib ... Arul Chib ... our first "critic" and so, obviously, our very first "sound engineer" and often "chibbing" in as the resident 'fiend' , philosopher & guide... as also the renown author of the "official Ban'ne'd AIDS Magazine" c.1992 AD.

Easily the most-liked common friend of each and everyone of us ... Parth Shri Tewari ... now resides in the US of A but he's never out of our daily laughs. Can be safely called the funniest man on earth and you can only meet him and know why ..

Fella's who've been part of the parikrama that parikrama's been ...
all dem' as rhythm guitarists !!!

K Christopher was with us in college as part of the MUSOC society and also later as axeman for bands like Calamity, Xpyre, GravyTrain .. till he finally caught the 'real world' train to become a lawyer.

Valentine Shipley joined us after Christopher left sometime in 1993. A very talented and accomplished Singer, Guitarist, Composer in his own right, he's currenty pursuing his musical interests in the Delhi and Mumbai circuits.

Stephen Namchyo or Steve as he goes, is one Guitar player of exceptional feel and control ... and the whole of North East India can vouch for that. With us though for only a few months in the winter of 1994-95, he left us impressed with his style!

Vipin Mishra joined us when Steve left, ironically, just before our maiden North-East Tour ... back in 1995 that was. Our youngest recruit then, fed on a diet of Led Zeppelin and his Dad's army rations went on to become the biggest , most sinewy member of p a r i k r a m a. We grew together for 5 years and perhaps he grew the most. Both in size as well as proficiency with his instrument. A successful Composer / Arranger / Guitarist today .. we still do miss him on stage.
