### My story

Om sai ram! Music runs in my veins, thanks to Papa ji—my guru, my everything. Recording with him, performing with my band Saaz-e-Mehfil, or just jamming with friends, that’s my life. I always say, 'Zindagi mein aap jaise pita ho to usey bhagya kehte hain!' (If you have a father like you in life, it's called fortune!) Teaching at Rythem Home Music Academy and seeing students find their groove is pure joy. Wherever I go, my tabla goes—Udaipur, Dubai, doesn’t matter. Happiness is rhythm.

### My work

- **Tabla Classes & Group Lessons**: I teach tabla to all levels at Rythem Home Music Academy. Group tabla lessons feel like family time.
- **Fusion & Bollywood Tabla Performances**: Love mixing classical teentaal with Bollywood tabla covers, Sufi qawwali, and devotional bhajan performances.
- **Live Shows & Band Gigs**: Catch me with Saaz-e-Mehfil or other artists, doing live tabla band shows. The crowd’s energy is unbeatable.
