I've been putting off writing about this for so long simply because there is so much to convey - so many dots to acknowledge and so few words to do so. Somehow managed to find a small word-window tonight thanks to all the moody King Krule that I've been listening to- so here's the deal : i'll be making my international debut in Croatia at
@outlookorigins next week from July 24th-28th.
@outlookfestival is one of the most celebrated music festivals in the world and i'm very grateful to be representing India alongside
@chrmsmusic ; Big up to
@krunklive @sohailarora @rishi_o_o_ @we.levitate for seeing this through!
// I keep coming back to Nietzsche's proposition of 'eternal recurrence' time and again. He asks: if your life - with all of its trials & tribulations, joys & sorrows, choices & lack thereof - were to repeat infinitely, exactly the way it happened, would you accept it gladly or recoil in horror at the thought of it?
for a long time, I've only felt mild to raging horror at the thought of being eternally stuck in a life of my making. how do you build a life that can be deemed worthy of such an eternal return? Is it even possible? can you radically love your fate enough to not want to edit it? i doubt it.
But to my pleasant surprise, over the past 3 years something changed. somewhere between - <all the music and the friendships and the dances and the conversations and the goodbyes and the hellos and the heartbreaks 💕 and the quiet repairs and the sunsets and the books 📚 and the breeze 🍃 and the cups of tea and the words and the trees 🌴 and the kisses 💋 and the hugs 🫂 and the kittens and the yapping and the silences and so many more things> - for the first time in a long time, I'm resting <like a kitten🐈 on a warm lap> in the realisation that if I had to live my life all over again exactly the way I did, I would happily do so without changing a thing about it.
after many years of self-doubt, this is a precious and grounding feeling to arrive at. dear friends & family, and potential friends & family, I have only ya'll to thank for this welcome change. Thank you for your kindness!
This is just the beginning ; so many miles to go before we sleep!
