I want to share something with you. I've experienced many failures and triumphs. I lived as an independent musician for almost 6 years now. My band 'Split' has given me all i needed to know that five guys with a common belief can achieve things. We drink, we fight , we hate and most of all we love and respect each other.
My girlfriend has taught me many things. Patience, love, silence, dignity, to have belief in myself. My parents showed me how to hold my head high and smile.
My music has given me all i have. My friends, my enemies, people who love me , people who hate me, people who don't give a fuck, people who want to manipulate me, who want to help[ me, love me, who want me to sign their guitars, who want to give me guitars. Most of all I've met people who think am special. People who'll come for gigs , pick up my gear, buy me drinks, share joints, buy me bhurjee, want me to buy them bhurjee, will keep me from giving up when I feel like shit.

I want you to know if you're a musician struggling somewhere who feels no hope... listen to these songs ... they've helped me deal with feeling like an insignificant piece of shit, a failure.. a nobody. They've showed me what an excellent riff, a few good lyrics and belief can do.... This list comes courtesy my beautiful, supportive girlfriend Priyanka. She made this list of songs and has being playing it to me for a few days now cause i've been struggling with my career, the music business and it's people... I've come from feeling like crap to being new again... a believer that music heals...
I am a musician. I am proud and happy I made that decision. It's been hard ...but worth every minute. One day i hope one of my songs will be on someone's list.....
