Pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts are intrinsically fascinating objects at radio wavelengths, especialy below 1 GHz where most of the action appears to happen. While instruments like CHIME and ASKAP are efficient survey instruments, telescopes like th Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope are better suited for targeted follow-up observations because of their ability to track the sky. The GMRT's flexibility is unmatched: newer instrumentation and modes of observing keep pushing the boundaries of its capabilities to newer territory. I will describe the results from our ongoing CHIME/FRB monitoring programme. In addition, GMRT is an excellent instrument to study pulsars. I will also describe novel ways of using the GMRT for scintillation studies using pulsars. With a new VLBI/baseband mode now enabled for the GMRT, it is well and truly poised to be a game-changer in low frequency radio astronomy. Google meet link
