It’s almost 25 years since The Rat Pack’s last performance together, and over 10 years since the last of them, Frank Sinatra, died. And yet, what magical memories the very mention of their names still evoke.

Most thrilling for us in Bangalore, singers like Stanley Pinto, Carlton Braganza and Venkat Subramaniyam have kept The Rat Pack’s legacy alive and well. And because The Rat Pack wasn’t just a boy’s club, not with the likes of Judy Garland and Shirley Maclaine and, years later, Liza Minnelli, always on side and often on stage with them, neither are we, with Priya Mendens and Alexis D’Souza never too far away. So sit back, relax, and open your minds and your hearts to Bangalore’s reincarnation, re-interpretation and celebration of the songs of those wonderful entertainers called THE B.RAT PACK!

And to explain that Indians were not involved in 9-11 – just 7-11. Finally, he talks about what it’s like to be Rajiv. And we all have some Rajiv in us, even if we don’t want to admit it.
