Tejas Gambhir: A Sufi Soul

Note: This episode is in Hinglish. The episode opens with Tejas talking about what creativity means to him. We talk about how his interest in music began and how he went about making it a professional pursuit. Tejas shares his take on having an agent and how he initiated his signature Qawali venture Mehfil-E-Sufi. He also talks about his relationship with social media and what going viral was like. We later chat about his favourite artists and influences. The episode ends with excerpts from two pieces written and narrated by Tejas.

P.S. - No episode next week on account of Navratri! Talk to y'all on 20th Oct! :)
