After spending a family time in the picturesque Maldives, DJ Nikhil Chinnapa is in the city as he prepares for a weekend full of music. “Pune has been a special city for me,” Chinnapa says, adding, “When I first came there in 1997, I got the vibe that it was a lot like Bengaluru (his home town). It’s the people of the city that makes it what it is. People in Pune were more open and accepting much like Bengaluru. It felt like home. Pune had this chilled out vibe, very open society for music. It makes me feel like I’m always welcomed. It’s almost like a second home.”
