Hi, i am Gaurav rurda a singer and songwriter born in Himalayas. Raised crossed culturally, thanks to my singing
Singing got me travelling far enough as a child where i could meet myself. This world is too big to tell just 1 one story.
At 18, started my own band RUDRA with my other 3 besties
And together we chased our lives full of enough stories to make our grand kids jealous 😎
And just when there was no time to be bored in this beautiful world,
Suddenly universe decided to pause.
Yes I am talking about COVID 19.
While everything was paused every where, my life paused in a whole literal way.
1 moment I was at the peak of my career, engaged to the love of my life, converting my dreams to decisions and suddenly you are on a hospital bed with multiple body fractures.
Reality sucked.
"When facts fail to convince, Story telling may do the trick"
Suddenly 2 very long years went by while I was miserabley lying in the same bed.
Before, I was never a picture person. Reason, I write. I write a lot. meeting new people, and writing about my experience. sometimes seeing them from a distance and cooking my own stories and writing them was my favourite...
Fortunately, this extremely time consuming hobby was paid off when we were able to release our songs.
Coming back to photography,,, it was like my only pillow in those dark times. I used to scroll my photos endlessly,,,, When, people were forbidden from being around people, Photos were the only things to bring my memories to visuals. I knew I couldn't live a lot of those moments again, like earlier.
This new photo scrolling habit made me realise
"Not All stories can be put into words".
For those stories, there are pictures...
Since then,,,,, photo viewing and photographing became my thing too.
"Never miss an opportunity to see a sunrise and sunset".
Me, being from the mountains,,, would try my best to make sure you guys don't miss it
