Mr Vindaloo's Mother...Kala Vindaloo!!

Mr Vindaloo as you know is our Roadie Man..he loves the polka and he does march to the polka beat. This fine lady here is Kala Vindaloo and she is our personal chef and you may remember her as the fine lady who first took us in when we arrived in new Delhi. She is also Mr Vindaloo's mum. She is such a fine cook too. Maybe a bit too much curry on our vegetarian cabbage rolls, but other than that she is a fine chef lady. I am going to get some of her recipes and put them in a cook book and it will be a big seller I am sure everywhere.

Kumar, an oscar in his future?

Lets celebrate with some Diet Fanta Orange as Kumar has hit the time big and if things go right could go up for an oscar I bet...sometime..maybe. Kumar along with being our manager is now very famous for being in a scene of a movie that is now a big big hit. If you look closer in a scene of a big big movie you may see Kumar. Our manager, Kumar was doing some peeka boo scouting at the Taj for our upcomming Taj polka festival ( in the plan stages) and some movie was doing the film and he may be in one of the scenes at the Taj. This is a big movie about millionaires and if you look closer in one scene you probably saw someone with a diet orange fanta...that was Kumar! ...at the Taj!. Now this photo(on this page) Kumar took and he was in Agra going about his peek a boo business and he took this so I will pass it onto you. These children had heard about Polka Band Gobi so Kumar told them it won't be too long till they see this band at the Taj. As a note added, I don't think Kumar will go to Hollywood for the oscar party as he has some shows to manage here for Polka Band Gobi, but due to all the requests of the many fans on where Kumar is/was...this is the latest on Kumar. Yes, he is getting famous, just like Yosh and Stan.

Nagla Dhimar...hot of the press

Oopah...I think our roadie man Mr Vindaloo forgot to put the dates down for all of our many polka fanatics and so here we go on where we all will play, first off...Nagla Dhirmar on Thursday... Maithan on Friday and Dayal Baghon on Tuesday. I am sure you can see all of you from our tour dates that we are getting much closer to the Taj and our goal, our wish yes it is, of playing inside the Taj . Is this not also a very good article on Polka Band Gobi and our playing in Nagla Dhimar. This was just the other day ( look at the date on page to see this). Our Mr Vindaloo is a busy man handling all the requests for Polka Band Gobi, I am sure his mother is very very proud of him.

Mr Vindaloo

Call me "Mister Vindaloo"

Yosh here, to bring you up to date

This fine man ( really true and for really) loves the Polka and when he heard us play at the
Baldi festival he came aboard the Polka Train and is now our "roadie manager" . I can see that with Mr Vindaloo we are going to Polkatown!!
So one and all, meet Mister Vindaloo one of our biggest fans ( and we do have so many fans it is true),

Here is the newspaper story

Newspaper story from Gungsuh Times! on PBG

Yashi here.
There was a newspaper an article about our playing the polka festival at Baldi . Many fine things were said about PBG ( Polka Band Gobi) . I will get copy of newspaper article for you. It was a raving article and I think many people will read this.

Grand Trunk Road ...To Baldi

Wow, such good news Polka fans of Polka Band Gobi. We just wrapped up our first ever polka festival in Baldi India. You just take the Grand Trunk Road somewhere to the north of Delhi and put your tuk tuk on the Grand Trunk and peddle away. As they say here, all roads on the Grand Trunk lead to Baldi. We were the headliners for the festival and this is going to be a yearly tradition I am sure. The food was great ( take a look at the delights
brewing). Next year we plan to have more polka acts than us. We realized that we need to have a polka club to teach people to do the polka as not too many in the audience knew how to polka, so that is our next plan.

Club Timings

I am sure everyone has heard of “Tusker's Bangla Sahib Road” in New Delhi a very famous night club that really has a scene. It is big and many many people come to hear the music. Well…we played at a place just like that, only smaller. We played last night at a place called “ The Timings”. We polkaed the house up and our fan base is really building. I need to let you know that the name we have now for our band is the Polka Band Gobi and we can all thank Kumar for this as he is a very wise man. As I was telling Kumar in a letter his advice reminds me of my uncle Wujek. When I was a very young man and when I was helping my uncle Wujek with the cabbage harvest and when I would sit on his knee, Wujek would say to me, he would say,” Yosh, there are people who march to the beat of the Polka and there are those who march to a different beat of the Polka.” He said something else about that , but that was long ago and I was young and I forget what it was. I guess it means you want someone who “hears” the polka and Kumar sure hears the polka. I hear the polka and so does Kumar.

New Poster for Polka Band Gobi

Yamya is so happy to be on our Polka Band Gobi Poster. This will sure to bring many people to see us an hear our wonderful polka music

One of biggest fans of Polka Band Gobi

Yamya brought her sister and nephew to one of our concerts. We did a concert in the park for everyone . You can see how happy the nephew was to meet big polka stars like Yosh and Stan

Update from Yashi

I can tell to you and you would not be surprised I am sure from all the requests for information that have come to me asking for information on what the heck is going on with Polka Band Gobi (formerlyThik Polka). My nephew Lucky, has been forwarding messages to me and he let me know that Cheektowaga and Tonawanda are missing Thik Polka, the band. As you know we are in New Delhi ( this is in India) playing polka gigs all over the place. We met with Yamya a very famous sitar player and she joined the band so now when we do our polka music, the blending of the accordions and sitar is just so…magical ( you could imagine this I am sure).
We are so so lucky, as the phrase goes, for when we settled into India this very famous chef asked us to play in her restaurant and we bring the house down with our polka music and we get to live here too! The weather was oh so hot so our lederhosen went away and we now have full cotton lederhosen and this is so much better. And no more with the cabbage rolls! We now only eat vegetarian cabbage rolls and the chef lady makes them special for us and I think it is a hit with the crowd that follows us too. I will have to tell to you how you do vegetarian cabbage rolls. You get this bread stuff and roll cabbage in it, add some curry and there you go. It has some secret herbs and spices, I think so. Next letter I will let you know how our fan club is building up and the music we are playing. I have heard from a Khuresh Kyryl of Tuva ( a country close to India somewhere, north I think) and he is a throat singer. I have heard him throat sing on the internet and I think, yes I do, that this man will play a key part with Polka Band Gobi and our search for the perfect polka. Maybe he will join us when we play the Taj . That would be very nice, we just need to work out the timings for this.
Yashi , over and out

I heard from Kumar

I heard from Kumar today, he is in Mysore and he has a strong, very strong interest in being the manager for the band. We make so many hundreds ( that is right...hundreds!) of rupees a day
so it will not be a problem to work out arrangement with Kumar. We need to still need to meet with Kumar in Mysore. Wanted to update the fans

Playing the Polka in Delhi

It is going so well today. We have a place to stay and play. You know that place where we first played the polka and had our first meal when we arrived in Delhi...well we live here. This is where the band plays and where we stay and where our poster is shown. And this fine man says he wants to be our manager. This is good

Most newest member of Polka Band Gobi

From Yosh, now called Yashi used to be called Yosh writing from New Delhi . I need to bring my worldwide fans up to the date of now. You know us as Yosh and Stan as,” Thik Polka” the Polka Band of renown and you have always known us as Yosh and Stan.

We were world known as Thik Polka but now since we are in India with our Polka band of renown we are Yashi and Santosh and even better news for everyone, it does get even better. We now have a new member of the band and a new name. No longer Thik Polka we are now Polka Band Gobi and we now have a new member that makes 3(three) which means we are now a trio. So when we do our Polka playing we have a band member that plays with the sitar. Oh the sounds that blend with a sitar and an accordion….so …mellow… or some word like that. Her name is Yamya and this means “light” and she does light up the stage. Her photo is here. She does like the polka.

The best tea in all of the world

Yosh again. Our second day in Delhi we came across this tea man and we had the best cup of tea ever. We told him about our polka band and as you can see, he was a very very happy man.

Pretty close to best food in all the world

Yosh reporting in. Our first day in New Delhi went well. We found accordions in this great bazzar place and had our first meal at this restaurant. We played a polka and got a free meal from these wonderful ladies. And we found the greatest drink, just like Kumar said...this orange diet fanta is the best.
