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,
