Social media made a grand entry to the world and my life too. My orkut profile pic used to be Anushka Shankar with sitar. My confidence levels gradually increased to keep my own pic with sitar on facebook. I slowly started uploading my music bits on an audio platform called SoundCloud and shared it on facebook. Encouragement from facebook and also from trekking lifted my
Josh( spirit) to an all time High.
Started a YouTube channel with no major vision but with a realistic picture that, I won't become a viral star overnight. The very thought of posting on social media unknowingly brought in more discipline in my music practice. My generally publicly shy nature helped me to control over posting and keep the upload frequency in moderation.
From requesting friends to please subscribe to my channel, keeping a constant tab on views and comments to just posting and coming out with a thought that, 'I will post when I find time and you watch it when you have time' has been a satisfying Journey.
Gradually, my music videos started helping me create an ecosystem. Many friends started messaging about restarting their music journey seeing my videos( This would be my highest reward and I wish to treasure it) , I inturn got inspired by their song choices and attempted the same, we restarted discussing music , music started filling in the long gap of not being in touch for many years and the journey has been beautiful.
Thank you for reading patiently. My aim was to share my nostalgia as a music listner, music student and most importantly ups and downs of my musical journey and bring in a hope that a start or a restart can happen any time.
Like I already said, no matter what, there are always people ahead of us and there are people behind us, without feeling too proud , without feeling too inferior , not comparing myself with any one and most importantly trying to maintain originality in music and life, I will continue to do what I am doing, Consistently ever after :)
Very nice nostalgic reveal keep growing
