Hi, I'm Amit! I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I am a medical doctor by education, but that is only a small part of my interests. This is channel is a bit different, as we cover a lot of different topics. The channel is a reflection of me... it can't be tied down to one single area. But I promise you will learn something while being entertained!
My family is originally from the Western UP-Delhi area of India, specifically Bulandshahr, Amroha, and Ghaziabad, and the art and culture there has shaped the Indian part of me. The American part, well, you'll see that pretty easily! I consider myself a storyteller at heart, and I hope you find a small story within every one of our videos. You may find our videos are probably less vlog, and more film in style! They will be un-hurried and immersive. Thanks for watching and for your support!
PS: Make sure you use the Playlists to find videos of your favorite subject in one place.... we try to keep our channel super organized!

A taste of what is to come in our cooking series: Sharbat-e-Rani, the Cordial of the Queen. Made by and named after my Mom, it's made primarily of Rabdi - milk cooked down with saffron and cardamom. A juice is added to the rabdi - watermelon in this case - and topped with rose water syrup and basil seeds. We will be making a video of this over the summer for you all to enjoy! So excited for this!

This is our heartbeat. "SangeetShala" means "House of Music" in Hindi, and it's time to take the next step in our evolution, the name of our "tv show." The end goal is to be a temple where music from the Indian Subcontinent is given love and studied so that its knowledge can be passed down to the next generation. The goal was always to be a proper show with episodes for each song or piece of music, and we're not there yet, but we're going to one day. While I love doing Harry Potter, food, film, health and everything else that we do, and will continue to do, this is why we have a channel. It is our heartbeat.

Quick update: I wanted to film this past week, but unfortunately, I didn't recover from being sick as quickly as I hoped. My energy levels just weren't there, and I didn't want to make videos that only had half the effort put into them. The good news is I think my strength is finally coming back, and I should be filming this week. Expect our first (formally) episode of SangeetShala, and I will combine the last 3 episodes of Rings of Power into one season ending review. My apologies for the lack of videos the last 2 weeks, but I just wasn't well enough to do them justice. Looking forward to being back in action now... thank you so much!

"As it turns out, the tiny, ubiquitous honeybee has the power to terrify a mammal that’s 22 million times its size. In fact, even the sound of the insect’s buzz is enough to send a family of elephants into a panic, showed studies by Lucy King, an Oxford zoologist and preeminent researcher in human-elephant coexistence at the nonprofit Save the Elephants. Upon hearing the telltale hum, elephants will run, kick up dust, shake their heads as if trying to swat the bees out of the air, trumpeting distressed warnings to other elephants as they flee."

"To encode a nervous system requires thousands of genes, each of them with many thousands of nucleotides, the letters of the DNA code. Acquiring this massive genetic storehouse of instructions while sustaining viability each step of the way was a daunting task. After 3 billion years of single-cell organisms that adapted to the changing climate of the early Earth, the first animals began to flicker in the dark roil of the ocean bottom, hardly recognizable as an innovation against the highly competitive world into which they were born"

"The molecule, which scientists have been trying to detect in space for decades, is carbonic acid, a precursor to amino acids, the basic building blocks of proteins. Its chemical formula is H2CO3. Hardly a household name, carbonic acid nonetheless is key to our capacity to breathe: It ferrets carbon dioxide from our blood into our lungs, where it can be exhaled into the atmosphere. It also plays important roles in various geological processes on Earth. An excess of the molecule in the oceans can lead to ocean acidification. “So while it’s important to life itself, it’s even more important in several atmospheric and geological processes,” says Miguel Sanz-Novo at the Spanish Astrobiology Centre in Madrid. Sanz-Novo’s team confirmed the presence of carbonic acid in space for the first time, publishing their findings in a pre-peer review site called Arxiv."
