Last year in December I'd only wished to perform once infront of a real audience. No instagram, no YouTube, no paid clap-clap audiences, just a random stranger audience. People who are going to point out all the good and all the bad without hesitating. People who'd appreciate and criticise freely. Through all of 2017, I am lucky to have performed for so many such audiences, so many times that I've lost the count of it. It got so better with each new day that at one point I even got the opportunity to jam along with some of the (in my opinion) finest current generation musicians of Kashmir, and learn some essential things from them and also make friends with some of them aswell. I'd only wished for one little audience and damn looking back at this year, it was undoubtedly so unexpectedly fulfilling. If you are a person who has for once been my audience this year, thank you for unknowingly making my year so good. 💓 This song is called "You need me, I don't need you". It's a rap song on a guitar and one of my favourite rap songs ever. This is the song I'd first performed for the first audience back in March and the clip from that day is down in my feed already. This is the last recording of the same song in my phone from September. Through the learning curve, as a result of working on it ever since, it's gotten quite better from the first clip, I can tell gladly and proudly. It was only one simple stupid wish a year ago and look at it now! :p 💓 Also, new year goals are stupid, they're just an excuse to do stupid shit for the remaining part of the current year. Just wish and act. No lame goals and anything such. Be realistic. Make a wish, keep it a secret and work on it evey single day possible for 1 complete year. A year can literally transform you in ways, you wouldn't imagine in your wildest dreams, depending on how you work with your time. #awish #thefallenchinar #edsheeran #ynmidny #2017 #thebestyear (at Naseem Bagh, University of Kashmir)
