Namaste, Dear Music Lover, While most of us who do playback singing would admit that it’s not an exact science, there are established methods to our madness. In case this post’s title seems confusing, we can allay that or similar concerns by noting it’s not about music practise per se (as in routine musicianship training). […]
Namaste, Dear Music Lover, While about 90%+ of this blog-site is devoted to singing, specifically for movie playback music in Bollywood, there are some off-topics that I simply cannot ignore, because for example, my heart 💜 is pulled in the direction of those dealing with the tragic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic that has persistently […]
Namaste, Dear Music Lover, Let’s “talk shop” for a while, okay? This post is about some of the audio gear we singers use, and how to best use it. As usual, all ‘gear talk’ here is geared mainly to playback singers (and any who aspire to sing for India’s Bollywood movie industry). Yes, I do […]

Namaste, Dear Music Lover, This blog-site is a vehicle to express my thoughts and for advice to you for whom singing is more or less a passion for your well-being. (As it is for mine.) Some people sing to express or convey their thoughts in the usual forms of songs or raags (however, most raags […]
Namaste, Dear Music Lover, At certain key points in our lives, we each can benefit greatly by learning from more experienced people who offer their experience, expertise and guidance. I hope that, even if you’re still seeking your ideal mentor(s), maybe this post will help to inspire you to keep going and find them! An […]
Namaste, Dear Music Lover, Please… don’t tell me it’s inconvenient to wear a face-mask in places like (indoor or outdoor) shops and markets… really, anywhere people must be in close proximity to unknown others. Or if you must, just tell it to the hand because I’m simply not having more negativity these days. Full stop. […]
Honestly, People!? Who gets “bored” 😑 in idleness‽ I rarely do! Namaste, Dear Music Lover, My line of inquiry this time is simple: Who gets bored?—-or,How can people with lots of time on their hands say “there’s nothing to do”? I’ll get straight to my point.
