DJ AV

Remembering the incredible time when I was DJing at the camouflage themed party on Friday night at @ials2019, right before the man @djkhalid100 went on!! (at NSCI Mumbai) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aH0iphgmg/?igshid=1rwovxr9lp4uy

Trying out some exercises I came up with inspired by @frankgambaleofficial 's sweep-picking approach and technique. 🎸 The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in war. 🎸 #guitar #sweeppicking #economypicking #alternatepicking #pickingtechnique #practice #arpeggio #frankgambale (at Baner) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XP_OahV5n/?igshid=nluk1fltat93

Some absolutely incredible memories from jam-sessions in the frogpond at Symbi, Lavale campus, circa 2010. 🎸 That guitar belongs to @avaphale. The violin and the hand playing it belong to @violinankur 🎻 Evidently, black nail enamel was my thing back then 🤷‍♂️ (at Symbiosis International University - SIU) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_T5w5Jh9Go/?igshid=1974xrgz0wjmw

Me on-stage, in my element, exactly a decade ago. 🎸 Simpler, louder, more beautiful times. I often wonder what parts of me I left behind in that fog. 🎸 My bestie @avaphale clicked all my best pics EVER, during my headbanging days. Not even pro photographers could capture what she did, on her humble phone cam. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Xh4wghlaS/?igshid=13qawa5gninjx

Incredibly pretty chandelier in the beautiful home of my good friends @vaijayanti.kherdekar and @yayatizende https://www.instagram.com/p/B-VAGUNBfos/?igshid=1kb2ic5nli340

Not a bad way to start the day 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/B85YTmdB9Uu/?igshid=1u1ukldig5wbh

Rely enjoying re-reading this one after a few years. 🔸 Every great book has something new for you when you read it again, because you're no longer the same person who read it the last time! https://www.instagram.com/p/B80YnKGh4dD/?igshid=189vjus28dkhz

FB memories show up an awesome memory, circa 2008, from the KPIT music room, with some of the usual suspects!! 🔸 The painted "Ragas and Blues" sticker tore off, so the band was called Gas and Blues and later As(s) and Blues 🤣 🔸 WTF was up with my hair in 2008? My best guess would be that I was in the awkward phase between having short hair and growing them out long. (at KPIT Cummins Infosystems) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tj5vThUaR/?igshid=60n394urywcd

3 levels of zoom (swipe👉) and 300 levels of memories at this gig by @animeshchauras and @violinankur at the unforgettable amphitheater in the Symbiosis Lavale campus. (at Symbiosis International University - SIU) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8p-LdKhpAh/?igshid=8fkrlwx1hh03

Nothing like a good night's sleep to put you into a good mood! 😴 I'm particularly pleased with the deep sleep percentage. I've been trying some techniques before I fall asleep and it has been getting better. 😴 In hindsight, is getting better at sleeping really a good thing? 😋 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8iD7HsBx8L/?igshid=svwqymalfv42

Stumbled upon some unexpectedly deep relationship wisdom in an undergraduate Electronics Lab!! (at Abasaheb Garware College) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8foSENh9vl/?igshid=154gulyx1aowx

Tools of the trade!! 🎸 My little pedal-board is finally filled up with the addition of the AD-2 😁 🎸 @animeshchauras @violinankur when are you guys gigging in Pune then? 😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8V_YfPBp2z/?igshid=1mrlj2ot5hn7c

I don't know of any one word in any language that is equivalent to the sentiment of Ustaad Ghulam Ali's ghazal 🔸 "Jab tasavur mera chupke se tujhe chhu aaye, apni har saans se mujhko teri khushboo aaye.." 🔸 But if I did, that is what this one would be called. 🔸 Background loop from a beautiful kiz track by @meri.rinaldi 👕 courtesy @lsdexperiencemumbai 🔸 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8JyC92BEZD/?igshid=1sf97uf448po1

My latest gadget. A wearable that tracks your mental state and trains you to get into flow states easier and faster. #djav #newtoy #wearable #foci #fociai # https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Ia5a2hqft/?igshid=19n0c55592zfw
