DESCRIPTION

This episode of Project Khichdi is all about 'Partial Pitch'. Tune in as your hosts - Adithya and Robin - battle it out in a winner-takes-all 'Pitch-guessing' contest! Using songs that the two of us know but haven't listened to in over two weeks, we try our best to guess their starting pitches, and determine who, between the two of us, has a better sense of pitch. It's all blood, sweat and tears in this one, so grab some popcorn, a pair of headphones, and play along! #pitchplease #partialpitch.
