The Run: How Parikrama built one of Indian Rock's longest running act
There was a time when discovering a band did not begin with an algorithm.
It began with someone refusing to let you leave without listening. A cassette passed across a hostel room. A senior at a college festival saying, “You have to hear this!” A name carried from one campus to another until it became part of the air.
You did not find Parikrama. Parikrama found you.
This year, Parikrama turns 35. On June 17, they released ‘Inside My Skin’, proof that the band is still writing, recording and pushing forward. Not preserving a legacy. Adding to it.
Formed in Delhi in 1991 by Subir Malik, Nitin Malik and Sonam Sherpa, Parikrama arrived when Indian rock had no clear map. There was no proven route for an English-language rock band from India to build a national audience with its own songs. They built one anyway, through word of mouth, college festivals and live performances that stayed with people long after the amplifiers were switched off.
Their journey took them well beyond the college circuit. Parikrama shared stages with Iron Maiden, Deep Purple and Porcupine Tree - not as novelty openers, but as a band that held its own. At a time when Indian rock rarely received that kind of exposure, those appearances were not just milestones for the band. They were milestones for Indian rock itself.
‘But It Rained‘ became the rare Indian rock song that moved beyond the scene. But the larger achievement was this: Parikrama proved that an Indian band could write original material, develop its own identity and matter without asking to be translated for the mainstream.
The late Sonam Sherpa, who passed away in 2020, remains central to that story. His guitar work defined the emotional grammar of the band. His absence is not something to work around, it is something the music continues to carry. Today, Nitin Malik, Subir Malik, Gaurav Balani, Srijan Mahajan, Abhishek Mittal and Saurabh Chaudhry carry that forward.
Thirty-five years later, they are still those kids who started with the love of rock ‘n’ roll. That is the real legacy worth preserving.

Today, I decided to speak out publicly online to share the story of my happiness and tell how I found hope again after a very difficult period in my life. Two years ago, my wonderful relationship with my husband fell apart one of the most painful experiences I have ever had to endure. For a long time, I tried various ways to save our relationship, but unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful. I felt disheartened and wondered if there was any hope at all of winning my relationship back. Everything changed when I came across a testimonial online about Priest Alaska. The positive experiences described there encouraged me to reach out and seek his advice. I sent him an email, and after communicating with him, I regained hope. I am grateful that I took that step. Today, I am happier and look toward my relationship and the future with confidence. My experience has taught me that one should not give up hope, even when things seem impossible. If you, too, are facing relationship problems and would like to learn more about Priest Alaska, you can contact him at alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or visit his website: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.
