Apni poori kshamta ko paane ke liye hamein sabse pehle apne mann ko shant karna hoga aur jeevan ki dhara mein poori tarah maujood rehna hoga.
To reach our full potential we must first clear the mind and be present in the flow of life current.

Mera manna hai ki jab aap kalaqaron ko dekhte hain, khaas taur par bhavuk kalaqaron ko, toh ve usmein poori tarah doob jaate hain. Mera perform karne ka tarika bhi hamesha se yahi raha hai, isliye jab main stage par hota hoon toh main bas usmein kho jaane ki koshish karta hoon—main apni hi duniya mein hota hoon. Stage ki yahi toh khasiyat hai, yeh ek pavitra sthan ki tarah hai. Darshak ek alag duniya ko dekh rahe hote hain, theek hai na? Toh aap dekhte hain ki kalaqar aur darshak ek hi kamre mein hote hain, lekin fir bhi ek alag hi mahaul hota hai. Kai baar yeh anubhav behad shandar hota hai, lekin main in dono ko alag rakhne ki koshish karta hoon, aap jante hi hain, main ise alag rakhna chahta hoon kyunki nahi toh mujhe aisa lagta hai ki main nanga hoon. Yeh bilkul swabhavik lagta hai.
I think that watching artists, soulful artists, they get into it. It's always the way I perform, so when I'm on stage I just try to get into it - I'm in my own world. That's the whole thing about the stage, it's like a sacred place. They're [the audience] watching into the different world, right, so it's like you see performers and they're in the same room, so it's a different vibe. Sometimes it's great, but I try to separate it, you know, I wanna separate it 'cos otherwise I feel naked. It just feels natural.

जब मैं छोटा था, तो मैं ऐसे गाने लिखता था जो मेरी सुनी हुई धुनों की नकल होते थे, क्योंकि तब मैं महज़ बारह साल का था। आप रेडियो सुनते थे और बस यही सब लिखते थे, जैसे [गाते हुए] "अरे लड़की, ज़रा खुद को तो देखो", आप समझ रहे हैं न मैं क्या कह रहा हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि ऐसा करने से भी मेरे लिए ऐसे गाने लिखना आसान हो गया जो मेरे अपने जीवन से जुड़े नहीं थे, क्योंकि बचपन से ही मैंने कभी निजी विषयों पर गाने नहीं लिखे, वे हमेशा नकल जैसे होते थे। और अब मैं बस यह समझने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ कि मेरा लेखन कहाँ से आता है और इसका आधार क्या है।
I used to write songs that mimicked other songs that I would hear as a kid, cos I was 12 years old when I was writing those, right. And you hear a radio so all I'd write about was [sings] "hey girl, look at you", you know what I mean. I think that even doing that made it easier for me to write non-personal songs because, from a kid, I never wrote personal songs, they were always like mimicking. And now I'm just trying to understand my writing and where it's coming from.

भले ही हमें यह लगे कि केवल अपने घर और देश पर ध्यान केंद्रित करना ही ज़रूरी है, लेकिन दुनिया की दूसरी जगहों की फिक्र करके हम वास्तव में अधिक शांतिपूर्ण माहौल की ओर कदम बढ़ाते हैं। यह एक ऐसी चीज़ है जिसका आनंद हम सब मिलकर ले सकते हैं।
As much as we think that it is important to just focus at home, by focusing on other places in the world we really do take steps towards creating a more peaceful structure. It is all something that we can enjoy.

अब मैं अपने लेखन को अधिक सहज रूप से महसूस करता हूँ। बस खुद को पूरी तरह से शांत करके, सुकून और जुड़ाव के साथ उन सभी खूबसूरत पलों को समेट लेना चाहता हूँ।
I see my writing happening more naturally. Just to relax into it and capture all of the good stuff in a calm and connected fashion.

शुरुआत में कॉन्सर्ट्स या टूर पर जाना मेरे लिए एक कोरा विचार भर था। मुझे नहीं पता था कि यह सफर मुझे कहाँ ले जाएगा, लेकिन मैं इतना ज़रूर जानता था कि मैं जाकर बहुत सारे लोगों के सामने अपनी कला प्रस्तुत करना चाहता हूँ। यह तस्वीर हमेशा मेरे दिमाग में रहती थी। मुझे ज़रा भी अंदाज़ा नहीं था कि टूर का अनुभव कैसा होता है, और यह सब कैसे आगे बढ़ेगा, पर मैं इतना तय कर चुका था कि मुझे यह करना है। फिर धीरे-धीरे चीजें अपने आप होने लगीं।
Touring was an abstract idea for me in the beginning. I didn't know where it was going to take me, but I knew that I wanted to go and play for lots of people. I always had that image in my mind. I had no idea what the touring experience was like, and how it was going to unfold, but I knew that I wanted to tour. Then it just started happening slowly started happening.

जब आप लगातार टूर दर टूर सफर कर रहे होते हैं, तो ऐसे में ज़िंदगी को एक अलग नज़रिया देना बहुत सुकून देता है, वरना यह सब एक पागलपन सा लगने लगता है। लेकिन जब मुझे छुट्टी मिलती है, मैं अपने घर पर सामान्य जीवन जीता हूँ, और फिर वापस एयरपोर्ट पहुँचकर अपने पूरे परिवार से मिलता हूँ—मेरा भाई, मेरी बैंड पार्टी, मेरा टूर मैनेजर और साउंड इंजीनियर—जब हम सब दोबारा एक साथ होते हैं, तो एक अलग ही ऊर्जा मिलती है। इतने सारे साज़-सामान और पूरी टीम के साथ एक देश से दूसरे देश घूमना एक बहुत ही सकारात्मक और उल्लास से भरा अहसास कराता है। यह वाकई बहुत अच्छा लगता है।
It's nice to have some perspective, when you are just touring, touring, touring, it becomes kind of a crazy experience. But, when I have time off and live my life at home, and then I get back to the airport and I am back with my whole family again. My brother, my band, my tour manager and sound guy get to re-unite, it's kind of an uplifting feeling to be rolling with such a crew and so much gear from country to country. It feels good.

मुझे लगता है कि आखिरकार जब आप कोई ऐसा संगीत बनाते हैं जो वाकई सच्चा और बेहतरीन हो, तो वह अपने मूल रूप में आ जाता है और कोई भी उससे जुड़ाव महसूस कर सकता है। अगर संगीत पूरी शिद्दत से बनाया गया हो, तो भाषा कोई मायने नहीं रखती। असल चीज़ तो पूरा संगीत खुद होता है। जब वह सच्चाई बयां कर रहा होता है, तो हर कोई एक बुनियादी स्तर पर उससे जुड़ जाता है।
I think that ultimately, when you create music that is proper music, then it becomes fundamental and anyone can relate to it or connect to it. When done properly, the language doesn't really have anything to do with it. It's actually the music as a whole. When it is speaking truth, everyone can relate to that on a fundamental level.

मैं कहूँगा कि यह बहुत ज़रूरी है कि आपके मन में बिल्कुल स्पष्ट हो कि आपका ध्यान किस पर है और आप क्या करना चाहते हैं। बस पूरी शिद्दत से जुट जाइए, अगर गिरें तो फिर से उठकर कोशिश करें, सीखें और आगे बढ़ते रहें। शुरुआत में यह महज़ एक विचार या सपना होता है, और आपके भीतर एक इच्छा होती है। यह आपको किसी एक पड़ाव पर ले जाएगा, और उस दौरान आप जिस तरह से काम करते हैं और जो ज़रूरी कदम उठाते हैं, वही आपको अगले पड़ाव तक पहुँचाते हैं। यह धीरे-धीरे आपके उसी मूल सपने को आकार देता चला जाता है।
I would say that it is important to have it in your mind, what your attention is and what you want to do. Really just go for it, and fall and go for it again, and learn and continue to go for it. First, it starts as an abstract idea and you have this dream and desire. It will take you to one place, and in that time you act in a certain way and you do what you have to do in that one place to get you to the next place. It is constantly building into this idea that you have.

अफ़्रीका एक बहुत ही खास जगह है, और वहाँ के लोग भी बहुत अद्भुत हैं। वहाँ अपार प्यार, ढेरों अपनापन और असीम सकारात्मकता है। मुझे लगता है कि अगर हम अफ़्रीका जैसी जगहों को लेकर सावधान नहीं रहे—खासकर हमारी जीवनशैली को लेकर, जिस पर आज दुनिया का अधिकांश हिस्सा चल रहा है—यदि हमने अभी से अधिक शांतिपूर्ण व्यवस्था बनाने की दिशा में कदम नहीं उठाए, तो मुमकिन है कि हम अतीत की तरह पूरे के पूरे राष्ट्रों, संस्कृतियों और प्रजातियों को मिटा दें।
Africa is a very special place, the people are very special there. There is a lot of love, and a lot warmth and a lot of light that is there. I think that if we aren't careful with places like Africa, in terms of the way that we set up our way of living, which now I think that most of the world operates on. If we don't focus on the steps towards creating a more peaceful structure right now, we could possibly wipe out full nations, cultures and species as as we have in the past.
