Why the name:
The main reason we dont have a name yet. We chose to stick to vikarama for now. vikarama is a combination of the first syllables of a few people we know. We had a short brainstorming session to come up with a band name, but was futile. The following are some of the names that we had thought of and were taken up by others.
