00:00There is an NGO in Bangalore called Samarthanam Trust for Disabled.
00:06I went to the U.S. in their sponsorship.
00:09When they told me that I would go to the U.S. and get my passport made,
00:14I couldn't believe it.
00:16I said, it's okay, I'll get it made and keep it.
00:18If I have to go, it's okay. If not, it's okay.
00:21But when we went, it was my first time on a flight.
00:28It was a good experience. I enjoyed it a lot.
00:31No one can imagine going to the U.S.
00:35So I got that opportunity.
00:37It felt really good. I performed in five states.
00:42I think I stayed there for two and a half months.
00:47So you stayed in the U.S. for two and a half months.
00:51Muskaan, let's talk about the difficulties.
00:54You didn't see the colors of life around you.
00:57How difficult was it to get to this point?
01:01It was difficult at every step.
01:04From childhood, when I went to school,
01:10I got my education from Kullu National Association for the Blind.
01:15There, the struggle was less because it was a special school.
01:19It was for us, so the challenges were less.
01:23But gradually, after primary education,
01:28we went to high school.
01:31In secondary education, the challenges increased.
01:35How to give an exam, how to write, how to study.
01:39Sorry.
01:40We study in Braille.
01:44Then how to make so many notes in Braille.
01:47Then after Braille, we started reading from audio books.
01:52By recording books.
01:55Or e-books.
01:57We used to study in Braille first.
02:02Then listening and reading.
02:04It was a little difficult to get used to it.
02:07Because in the beginning, I used to sleep while listening.
02:10Then gradually, I got used to it.
02:13Or coming and going to school.
02:17There were a lot of challenges.
02:20In addition to this, there were some other challenges
02:24that we could not tell you.
02:26Or we are not able to remember.
02:28So there were such challenges.
02:32You mentioned your childhood.
02:34Do you have any childhood memories with your siblings
02:37that you still remember?
02:40Actually, when I was 7 years old,
02:43I went to school in Kullu.
02:47I used to come home only on holidays.
02:50Most of the memories are from school.
02:53A little mischief.
02:55Studying.
02:56Enjoying.
02:57Playing music.
03:00When we are young, we think that
03:03I will become a teacher when I grow up.
03:05Someone thinks that I will become a doctor when I grow up.
03:07When you were young, what did you think?
03:09What will I become when I grow up?
03:10When I was young, I used to think that
03:13I will become a teacher when I grow up.
03:16But when I started music,
03:18I used to sing when I was young.
03:24My teacher told me that
03:26I can do well in music.
03:28Learn music.
03:29At that time, I thought that I would become a teacher.
03:32But when I started music,
03:34I started going to the academy side by side.
03:38I thought that I would become a music teacher.
03:41The music that we learn is classical music,
03:45classical music.
03:47I found that boring.
03:49We are interested in songs,
03:51films, songs, Bollywood songs.
03:54We think that these are taught.
03:58I found that boring.
04:00I thought that this is not right.
04:02Gradually, when I continued,
04:05I started enjoying it.
04:07Then I thought that I would become a music professor.
04:10Who was your favorite teacher?
04:13Favorite teacher?
04:15There are many people who have supported me a lot.
04:21I connected with them from the bottom of my heart.
04:23They praised me a lot, supported me a lot,
04:27and guided me all the time.
04:31In the beginning, there were our teachers,
04:33Renu ma'am, Parvez sir.
04:34After that, Preeti ma'am.
04:36She was very sweet.
04:37I liked her a lot.
04:40And then there is Ajay Shrivastav sir.
04:44In this way, I got attached to everyone.
04:48Everyone guided me very well, supported me a lot.
04:51Because in my whole life,
04:53not just one person,
04:55at every step,
04:57whether it is music, study, or anything else,
