Introvert goes to India's Biggest Outdoor Music Festival | Ziro Festival of Music

Описание: A year ago, I went to Arunachal Pradesh to attend the Ziro Festival of Music 2023 (India's greatest outdoor music festival) for two significant reasons. First, to start my YouTube journey, as I’ve always been obsessed with cinema, storytelling, and documenting real-life experiences. Second, to step out of my comfort zone, solo travel to a faraway place, experience a new culture, and grow as a person.

Coming from a small town, I’m introverted, reserved, and don’t find it easy to make new friends or start conversations with strangers. This trip felt like the perfect opportunity to challenge myself and indulge my curiosities about the diverse cultural goldmine that is India.

After sitting around, being anxious and afraid to finally put my voice out there, 365 days later, I decided to let go of my fear of judgment and upload this video.

In this video, beyond the festival, I also explore the Apatani culture and history by visiting a local village, paddy cum fish culture farm, bamboo plantation, and local food spots.

This channel is a work in progress. The plan is to do cultural deep dives and cover unique stories from our country. And of course, document my personal journey along the way.

If anything in the video resonates with you, do consider liking and subscribing. Starting a new channel in 2024 is daunting especially for introverts like me. But this is just the beginning. As Om Prakash Makhija once said, "Picture abhi baki hai, mere dost."
