Dr. Salil Latay here...

 


Namaskar and Hello, This is Dr. Salil Latay here from Pune, India.
Allow me to introduce myself and what this blog is all about...


1. Who am I?

I am a Singer, a Musician (I play the Piano on the Synthesiser) – a performing artist presenting concerts. Hindustani (The language of the Indian Subcontinent – a mixture of Hindi, Urdu, Sanskrit, Persian and even English at times) is my language of concert presentation. My Genre or Specialisation in Singing is – Sukoonbhare Nagme (Equivalent to Easy Listening Music in English). Spreading peace of mind and happiness known as Sukoon in Hindustani is the mission of my life. I call it Mission of Melody.

 

2. What else do I do?

Apart from being a performing artist, I am a Song Composer – I compose songs only for myself and my presentations on stage. I am also a Seeker – a student about life around me and its impact on me. Yearning to observe and learn everything that resonates with me and helps me live my life to the fullest and strive to be the best version of myself.

 

 3. What are my other interests in life?

Music – I explore all types – but certain genres like Western Classical and Semi Classical, Easy Listening Music in English, Traditional and Folk Music from all over the World, World Music along with Indian Light Music are my preferred types.


Self Help, Self Discovery, Travelling and Tourism, Things that travel – Be it Trains (Indian Railways is my first pick) or Commercial Aircrafts along with all other modes of travel, Photography, Watching and studying Documentaries and Films (Films that should inspire me or make me laugh – I don’t watch other genres), History and Culture, Reading and Studying Biographies, Research, Finding Solutions and seeking answers are my passions and interests in life.

 

4. What to expect from this blog?

Anything and Everything that inspires me in life. It is also a showcase into various professional and personal facets of my life – For I truly believe and live by the words of the immortal song – What a wonderful world!

 

5. What not to expect here?

Politics, Religious and Judgmental views. I am a World Citizen and Eternal Traveler at heart and believe and live by the Indian doctrine of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (The World is one family!).
