GCET, Anand ke Rotaract Club ke Open Mic me main stage pe aaya with one simple request—“judge mat karna.” Main na Javed Akhtar hoon, na Gulzar, na Indori, na Kumar Vishwas… bas apni wali energy leke aaya tha: thodi si shayari, thoda sa guitar, aur retro + Gujarati + Bollywood ka mix. Crowd ko warm-up karte hue maine openly bola ki “guitar wale bahut hai,” isliye maine content ko thoda different rakha—stories through sound, like I always do. Set me maine multiple songs/lines touch kiye—retro vibes (“Sagar jaisi aankhon wali”), romantic bits (“Tumse pyaar kitna”), fun Bollywood references (“Mera joota hai Japani”), aur phir Gujarati songs bhi. Main genuinely believe karta hoon ki music ki koi language nahi hoti, isliye Hindi-Gujarati dono ko ek hi flow me leke gaya. End me ek “last piece” bhi kiya (Sachin–Jigar mention ke saath), because open mic ka magic hi ye hota hai: aap experiment karte ho, audience react karti hai, aur aap next time aur better storyteller ban ke nikalte ho.
