What a truly great and successful evening at the MSIM 5th Annual Concert! 🙏✨ So proud of all our performers who gave their absolute best on stage. It was a true reflection of their dedication, hard work, and love for tabla throughout the year. This was not just a concert, but a beautiful team effort that came together to create a mega event. A heartfelt thank you to all the parents for their constant support and encouragement, and to our amazing volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes—this would not have been possible without you all. Our sincere thanks to Monash Council for providing such a wonderful venue. Special appreciation to Bhargav Sridhar for his amazing lehra accompaniment and Sanjeev Kulkarni for his superb anchoring of the event. On a personal note, a very special thanks to Shetal and Ishaan for their constant support in each and every project I undertake—it truly means everything. ❤️ Grateful, proud, and inspired—looking forward to many more such musical journeys together! 🎶

tl;dr - life is tough but we're (or at least trying to be 😂) tougher 🥲 so show up for our performances on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of March for the Adelaide Fringe Festival at the lovely @themercury.adl 🤍 ticket link in bio or on the QR in other news, life has been all sorts of daunting lately 🫠 touring internationally means everyday comes with a whole new set of challenges - especially in the weeks leading up to it. as we navigate these hurdles, and the 83475834 emotions that come up with them, something that keeps us going, is the thought (and faith 😅) of bringing this performance to life once again. also super stoked to be accompanied on stage by the wonderful @hughstuckey on guitar and @jaydabgarofficial on tabla. here's to hoping the universe is kind to us and things fall into place soon ✨ until then, we continue to rise and fall and rise again - one day at a time, one step at a time :') 🌿 [ adelaide, adelaide fringe festival, indian, classical, music, jazz improv, bio art, nature ]
