Would you then say going to school is a waste of time because you did not study DJ?
No, going to school is not a waste of time because it is the foundation of everything. When I was a kid, I didn’t get the opportunity to learn music in school but today’s generations have an opportunity to learn music in school. I would rather say if anyone is interested in music, they can grab the opportunity and learn more because music is never ending.

At a very beginning stage, I made some silly mistakes like forgetting my pendrive/headphone. Infact, I used to call my mom to get some of my working tools for me while I was already on stage.
Can you tell us some of the most challenging moments DJs go through?
When a DJ is in a flow and a guest comes with a request for a different song (for example romantic song) later to come up with down tempo romantic song, that can be a little challenging for DJs.
