Hi there,

I have another update for you from Bangalore. Regular listeners to the Pods and Blogs podcast may remember an interview with the founder of . I went along to the London Twestival this year and many of you may have been to your own regional events as part of the charity organisation.

While here in Bangalore, I managed to catch a gig with a pretty amazing Indian fusion band called . Here's a little clip of their performance outside a shopping mall. They certainly have enthusiastic fans!

That might seem a little disjointed, but Swarathma also played live at the Bangalore Twestival. One charitable organisation to benefit from their good musical work was children's charity . Luckily a volunteer with that organisation was standing right next to me throughout the gig, so I asked him about the connection and where that money goes.

It's nice to act charitably and go to the events that raise money, but it's even nicer to see the smiles and know that it was definitely worth Tweeting about. I was pretty impressed to meet someone from the other side of the Twestival operation as proof that social media get-togethers really can make a difference. It's been said that charity begins at home, but it also seems to get a good head start online wherever you are.

More from my Bangalore online journey soon -
