Tomorrow, I’ll be performing a ghazal at an event organised by Dhaivat Aarambh Academy, under the guidance of my gurus. They gave me this opportunity to learn and grow, and I’m deeply grateful for it. This will be my first time performing with a harmonium and tabla. I’ve never actually sat down with a manual tabla before, so this feels like a new beginning in many ways.
I’ve been practising a few ghazals by Jagjit Singh ji and Mehdi Hassan sahab. There’s a quiet excitement mixed with uncertainty—and I think that’s exactly how it should be. Let’s see how it goes.
This academy event brings together every student and teacher on the same stage, and being a part of that feels special. The very next day, I’ll be performing at a sound healing session, where the focus shifts from performance to presence—through alaaps and bhajans.
The day after that, the work behind the scenes begins again. I have meetings with two music distributors, where I’ll be finalising distribution for my label. Later, Tumul—my friend and co-founder of February’s Favourite—and I will sit down to complete our website.
20th February marks the official launch of the label.
Right now, this is the rhythm of life.
There are five artists, including myself, with songs ready for release. Over the coming month, three to four events are already lined up, all presented by the company.
I’m looking forward to every bit of work ahead..
