किताब बंद कर टेबल पे रखी। “वे दिन” अब मेरे सीने से जुड़ा था। निर्मल वर्मा ने जिस ठहराव से यह उपन्यास लिखा था, मैं उसी ठहराव को ढूंढ रहा था। सोच रहा था कि जब उनकी कहानियाँ पढ़ता हूँ तो हमेशा भूल जाता हूँ कि कहानी है क्या। बस जो लम्हे वो सजाते हैं अपने शब्दों से, उन्हीं में पड़ा रहता हूँ। तभी फ़ोन बजा। पता चला कि दोस्त मिलने आ रहे हैं, कुछ try करवाना है और वो बस घर पहुँच ही रहे हैं। बिस्तर से उठा और...

हर साल मार्च के महीने में मेरे गांव में मेला लगता है, इस साल पहली बार मुझे जाने का मौका मिला। जब पहले दिन गया तो मेरा दोस्त दीपिन वहां गाओं वालो को कोम्बुचा ट्राइ करवा रहा था। उसने मुझे कहा की अगले दिन कुश्ती का कार्यक्रम है और मुझे दो बजे आने को कहा। अगले दिन एक बजे मैं तैयार होकर वहां पंहुचा और दीपिन से मिला, उसने कहाँ की आगे जाकर एक अच्छी सी सीट पर बैठ जाने और इंतज़ार करे। कुछ ही पल में पूरा ग्...

Here’s the tracklist:Fursat FM -PreludeMoon - Angad Berar, Debjit Banerjee Vulnerable in Bihag - HedrunLille...

As you may know, I have been making these meditations on youtube for about an year now. These are improvised long ambient compositions that goes everywhere and I love making them. Today was also one of those days where I placed my camera and hit record to make another one of these. The length of these videos usually range from 8-15 minute mark. I like to think of this as doing the dishes music or...

I have not stopped thinking about the new Death and Birds post called “ embers ” in the last few days. I have caught myself asking how Chloe came up with the line “The universe is under no obligation to make sense to me" to "existence forms a web, not a ladder" to “What awaits is a Daliesque landscape, where breathtaking despair plays chess with love, and hopelessness waltzes with truth” As I sat...

ICYMI - These videos are part of my series that I am doing on YouTube called “ Attic Meditations ”, where the idea is to do one hundred of these regularly to learn more about composing, arranging and overall listening. I got back into making this after almost a three-week gap, and I loved putting this together. Just a few recommendations for the weekend along with this: To listen - Nala Sinephro -...

This is the video I shared on my Instagram after being away from it for the past six months. About five months ago, I asked myself that do I want to go back and get sucked into the type of content I am shown there and get my attention robbed from me via the hyper-addictive reel-centric feed. Today, I asked myself the same question, and the answer was - It’s worth another shot. So, I decided to see...

The idea for this one came from the much-needed rainfall two days ago. I was getting ready for Friday and there was a window of total cloud cover but only light drizzle - the only way I enjoy the rain. This is how I love making music. The technique is called Live looping where one layer after another, things keep building up and it’s all improvised on the spot. You may know FKJ as an artist who ma...

In the last couple of months, I have had a difficult time writing about my photographs. It should be simple right? but I have come to realise that it isn’t. My photographic practice which everyone calls as my “Work” revolves around Lodhi Garden in Delhi and the landscape that Bir has to offer along with objects that usually gets ignored by most of us in our day to day lives. I have been meaning to...
