STORY OF SELF-LEARNING

How I learned to play harmonica at the age of 49.

“I saw my boss going outside. He was in 60s. I asked him where he was going he told me that he was going to a guru for learning harmonium. That was the time I got confidence that when he can learn at 60 then why not me at 49”

Since childhood I wanted to play harmonica but, could not find any guru. Time passed by and I got married. My kids got in to college then I had time but again no guru. Actually I was shy of learning at the age nearing 50.

My hesitation went on till 2017. Then one Sunday, in the evening I saw my boss going outside. He was in 60s. I asked him where he was going he told me that he was going to a guru for learning harmonium. That was the time I got confidence that when he can learn at 60 then why not me at 49 and then I searched online and found one Mr Bhat in Baroda and started learning from him.

I belong to Delhi but now living in Veraval Somnath, Gujarat the place of 1st Jyotirling. I work as Sr GM-Commercial with Aditya Birla Group

Now music is my Passion. Whenever I find time I play harmonica, Bansuri and Saxaphone which also I am in learning stage. I did my schooling from Kolkata and I can speak Bengali also.

Hope my story inspires others.
