It actually took me a while to lock in the track. Felt like picking the right one would decide everything — the vibe, the pacing, the entire mood.
Been wanting to try this for a long time… to build something around a song, not just add music after.
Feels nice to dive into something you’re not a pro at. There are so many talented people out there, but there’s something unique and serene about figuring things out on your own — messing up, learning, and doing it your own way.
The most recent video was inspired by the movie Coherence, which explores the idea of parallel realities and what could happen if they suddenly collided—bringing you face-to-face with another version of yourself.
A cosmic event changes everything, and suddenly the world you’re in may not be the one you started in. That thought stuck with me—and I tried to bring that feeling to life through this concept video.
.
For those curious: the shots were taken a couple of months ago as a trial run for my new prime lens. At the time, there was no concept or idea in mind—most of the shots were completely arbitrary, captured purely for testing.
But when I sat down to edit, halfway through the first cut, something about the sequence felt like it could tell a story. That’s when Coherence came to mind—a movie I watched a few years ago that had left a lasting impression.
And so, the concept was born.
This video is not about action — it’s about stillness. About sitting in a near-empty subway car and letting your thoughts echo in the hum of the ride.
It’s about the duality of being human:
To want people, but also solitude.
To feel lost, but keep going.
To love, care, crave, detach — all at once.
Just ambience. Just emotion.
Let it play in the background or sit with it in silence.

In this video podcast, I talk about the three lessons that life taught me this year. Now, I had been ignoring them for the last two years but as I speak about it in the video, life made such events happen that I couldn't ignore these three lessons anymore, and if you don't apply these in your life today, you might learn all of them the hard way too.
Hope you will enjoy the session.

In this video podcast, I talk about the three most important things you need to apply in your life if you are in your 20s. These are something I learned over time with experience by falling down several times and getting up again.
I wish someone had told me these things earlier but I am happy I try to apply them now in my everyday life and highly recommend you to do all of them as well, at the least.
Hope you will enjoy the session.

First of all, I wanted to thank you all for making this channel reach 6k subscribers. It is a big benchmark in terms of where this channel started.
In this video, I share with you my thoughts on resigning from the job and the journey ahead. As immigrants, we often get so lost in chasing the next thing to achieve stability in life that we often forget to keep the core (i.e. yourself) stable. I love designing things since I am a creative individual but I explain in this video why I left the job and what is the road ahead.
A lot of people feel overwhelmed by the idea of resigning without a backup job but I will talk you through the emotions I felt and possibly you might feel too if you are planning to do something similar.
Hope you all will like it.

In this video, I go out in public and ask seniors what is the one past story from their childhood that always pops out to the top of their mind. Every person in the video has their own opinion and they all express their feelings in a candid manner. My intention is to bring to you the voice of the people and not make this channel just about "myself" and "my opinion".
Hope you all will enjoy it.
Thank you.

Abhishek

In a previous video of mine, I talked about "Why you should consider studying abroad" and what are its benefits. In this video, I talk about the other side of the coin i.e. " Why you should consider NOT studying abroad?". The side which is rarely talked about. I try to use the same points which I used to encourage studying abroad and show the opposite side of the same coin.
Hope you all will love it and find it worth your time.
