GUITAR: A Cherry on the Top in my life

This is true! No matter what, every single leader that I have personally met has a degree of calmness. Most of the people and/or circumstances in a leader's life easily reach the highest level of this calmness, that makes a leader hyper. Now when I talk about "hyperness" in leadership's point of view, it can be positive or negative. A true leader is the one who knows how to deal with "negative hyperness", because at the end of the day, the "positive hyperness" always benefits.

Now what I do to keep myself calm and running is something that I have not seen in every leader. Actually, to be honest, I haven't seen in any leader yet. When you're in a growing phase, you barely get time for yourself to stay calm and this is exactly where "Time Management" comes in. Anyways, what this post says is that how I started Guitar and how it has a changing and a necessary effect in my life.

Just like an ordinary Pakistani pop songs lover, JAL is my inspiration for music, or to be more specific, it is "Gohar Mumtaz". Yes, that's true. Jaw dropped again? I know right! I started playing guitar when I was 14, actually in grade 9th. Everyone in my school had never ever seen a 9th grader playing guitar. I tried performing a lot of times, but my school seemed to be pushing me away. But in any case, I think that wasn't the right time to perform at all.

Grade 9th till Grade 12th, my craziness about guitars didn't stop and there came a moment when actually, a guy with a pocket money of QAR 50 per month was able to have 3 branded guitars in home! Yes, I am being completely transparent about my finances here! :)

All these years, I did countless Jaming sessions, made countless songs, performed countless times and played with countless number of people. Some of them include Abdullah Javed, Farhad Qadeer, Hassan Iqbal, Faisal Rauf, AZM the band, Falcons and many more. How about checking out one of me and my best friend's improvisation here

(FYI - I just named all of my high school friends! lol, yeah I pretty much miss these guys).

End of the story - What I do to keep myself away from the "negative hyperness" and stress, is playing music. I improvise as much as I can because I feel myself best at it. This is the only reason I have countless creations of my own.
