Music
Hindustani classical vocals, riyaz, and the discipline of listening.
Before AI, there was riyaz.
रियाज़ · स्वर · ताल
I started training in Hindustani classical music when I was around five. That training shaped how I think: patience, structure, improvisation, attention, and the ability to stay with complexity for a long time.
I've trained in Hindustani classical vocals since childhood. The practice taught me how to listen, how to repeat without getting bored, and how to improvise inside constraints — which, weirdly enough, is also how good systems and products are built.

What the training built
अभ्यास
Training
Hindustani classical vocals from childhood — years of riyaz before any line of code.
Raag
Improvisation inside strict structure: the same constraint-and-freedom that good systems live by.
Listening
Deep listening as a skill — catching the small thing that is slightly off, in a phrase or in a latency graph.

Performances & recordings
Recordings are being curated for this page — performance clips, covers, and original compositions.
A listening notes / raag diary section will live here too.
