when music leads 🎶 | iamhastir

iamhastir 2025-06-07 | This one’s a score-based reel — meaning the music came first, even before I had any idea what the video would be about. (the original song is in the reel, not this post)

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.

What if we are not the original ones? | iamhastir

iamhastir 2025-06-03 | What if your “reality” wasn’t the only one?

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.

The Quiet Chaos of Being Human | Subway Ambience & Late-Night Reflections

iamhastir 2025-05-29 | There’s a strange beauty in quiet moments.
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.

People in their 20s NEED to apply these in their life | Podcast | Abhishek Hastir

iamhastir 2022-12-16 | Hi everyone,

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.

I resigned from my job......what to do after PR?

iamhastir 2022-11-10 | Hi everyone,

I hope you all are doing well.

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.

Best,
Abhishek Hastir

Are you going to Study Abroad? Think AGAIN!

iamhastir 2022-10-07 | Hi everyone,

Hope you all are doing well!

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.
