Why Did I Dream?

I hail from the well-known Chakravorty family in Guwahati, a family that has been known over the years for it’s contribution to the world of Arts, ranging from poetry, short-stories, drama, recitation, music and fine arts, this family has done it all, at different levels. However, there wasn’t one member of this family who did it for his/her living.

Also, over the years, I had made friends with a lot of musicians, a lot of bands, all of whom had similar stories, barring a few. They all switched their priority from music to something else. They joined the corporates. For their living, they did stuff that they never wanted to. Music was in their blood, but never did they ever bleed !

When I joined the Corporate world for the first time, in 2008, I used to wonder if ever there would be a possibility of musicians walking out of their homes to come to offices, like the IT Parks, to make music. I wondered if ever there could be such a demand for music. I wondered, but never came up with an answer, until one day, during a Guest Lecture in college, in July 2010,an Idea struck !

The idea was to create a market, a market for ‘Personalised Music’. I wrote down a brief plan about it in my note book. A friend called Richin was seated next to me. He read it. ‘It’s nice’, he said. Next, I showed it to Prof. Ray Titus. He said that the idea rocks, and cited two reasons for it. One, that the investment would be rock bottom. Two, that no one had done anything like this before. I was inspired.

I worked on this idea for a couple of weeks more and then I spoke about it to my first cousin and band-mate, Buddha. He loved it and made it his own. Since then, we quit looking back.

...more to come...of course !!!....
