                        The Modern Flute of India





For a long time, the colonizers and the colonized have exchanged skills, culture, and art. When it comes to music, India has started accepting fusion music in particular, indie music artists. Indian Youth is gradually moving away from Bollywood songs as the influence of the indie music culture, which grew in the United States, spread among Indians in the modern era. Independent music is rapidly winning Genz and millennials’ hearts. Artists like Darshan Raval came out of the indie music scenario. Prateek Kuhad’s music grabbed Barack Obama’s attention whereas Ritviz wraps his message with catchy beats. The Kochi-based upbeat group  When Chai Met Toast’s ‘Beautiful World’ will put a smile on your face during tough times. Anuv Jain’s latest song ‘Mishri’ has a soulful touch of transcendence. Every dreamer’s absolute favorite song ‘Kho gye hum kahan’ by Jasleen Kaur is a cherry on top. ‘Roz Roz’ by Yellow diaries is on every indie music lover’s playlist. The local Train taught us the meaning of self-love through their song ‘Khudi’. Parvaaz’s music, an eclectic blend of psychedelic rock with folk, has carved a place for itself with popular songs like Beparwah, Dil Khush, with its beautifully written poetic pieces in Urdu, Kashmiri, and Hindi. These Independent artists add meaning to the music world and play the soulful flute of modern India in the hearts of musicophiles.

It is a tale of overthinkers and writers, of observers and doers, of dreamers and deluded, of me and you.

                        Body Awareness: How to deepen your connection with body? When was the last time you were able to articulate your true feelings? How often do you find yourself lost? In this era of selfies, we tend to forget to connect with ourselves. A generation with thousand selfies yet so little knowledge of self. For most of my adolescent period, I neglected the voice of my body. I had no confidence or sense of self. I did not know who I was underneath the built-up anxiety, unrealistic expectations, overthinking, and regrets. While striving for outer contentment, my inner peace started rotting and the traces could be seen in everyday life chores. That’s when I realized that the pot was melting and that’s how I came face to face with the adversity of life. So many of us do not really grow through what we go through. We tend to move further away from our consciousness as we delve deep into the cruelties of life. It tak...
