Instagram Journey of mine

I am going to share one wish of mine that got
converted into a reality. During the lockdown in the second quarter of 2020, I
started giving more time to singing to regain what I had lost over the years
due to other commitments like studies and jobs. I’ve been trained in Indian
Classical Vocals from Akhil Bharatiya Gandhav Mahavidyalaya (ABGMV), Mumbai up to
3rd year when I was in 9th standard and my music teacher
moved to another city. After that, I never got the chance to complete my degree
in Vocals till Visharad which I had always wanted to. I even considered preparing
for 4th year vocals exam and followed some of the YouTube channels
for guidance, later to realize that I needed a Guru to teach me the nuances of
classical music which can’t be learned through YouTube only. I created an Instagram
account – MeLockDy (representing melody during Lockdown) to save all my
recordings in one place, which I couldn’t, unfortunately.
Fast forward to Sept 2023, when I came to know about Ukulele
classes for beginners at Lippulaiva Library, Espoo, I could think of nothing
else but joining that. As a beginner, I sincerely attended all the classes and practiced
at home. We were taught both English and Finnish songs by a Finnish instructor.
Thankfully the medium of instruction was in English and I didn’t face any issue
in following the instructions. I am someone who believes in experimenting with stuff,
on my own, after getting acquainted with the basics. So, I started finding the
chords for Bollywood or devotional songs, recording them, and uploading them to
my YouTube
Channel and Instagram
account. With consistency, I have uploaded 71 recordings in the last 5 months
and I couldn’t be more happy.
As a believer in the law of attraction, my Instagram
journey has made me realize that no wish or goal is a small one for the
universe, if you wish it, the Universe will help you achieve that. Right now, I am not aiming
for any particular subscriber count or monetization, all I am focused on is to
enjoy this process and improve my skills so that when I look back at this
journey, I can do nothing but marvel at what this journey has given me and be proud of myself.
