• 25:21
  Speaker 25: I am excellent and I love how you've said my
• 25:24
  Speaker 25: name with the American accent around it, but you still
• 25:27
  Speaker 25: said my name right.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you something. I probably walked around for
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: about two minutes walking to myself down the hallway practicing
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: how to say that. It's really an adjustment from an
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: American act. Yeah, it's it's quite a bit of work
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: because you have to adjust from the American accident to
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: such an Indian pronunciation. It's hard.
• 25:45
  Speaker 25: Yeah, and I don't know how you did that. It
• 25:47
  Speaker 25: was amazing.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Well, it is really nice to be on the line
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: with you today. A big fan of your work. We
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: all know you from that wonderful work that you've done
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: with Patashan, and what great work that was.
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I want to start off this show by asking you,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: you know, tell us about that young lady that maybe
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: found out that she was going to go do something
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: that would potentially change her life. Take us back to
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: that young lady that was before all of this stuff,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: and how much has changed in that time period between
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: you then and you now. I'm sure a lot, but
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: please do tell us.
• 26:29
  Speaker 25: A lot, like an absolute lot, because I went from
• 26:34
  Speaker 25: absolutely having no idea that I was going to sing
• 26:39
  Speaker 25: in films at all, or that that was a career
• 26:41
  Speaker 25: option for me at all, to then getting a song
• 26:45
  Speaker 25: that slipped my life over within like overnight, like literally overnight.
• 26:51
  Speaker 25: The thing they speak about in films that zindigibundaigi. That's
• 26:55
  Speaker 25: what happened with me, and everything changed from my aspirations
• 26:59
  Speaker 25: also then changed because from wanting to sing in the
• 27:03
  Speaker 25: clubs and bars and singing my own original music, however
• 27:07
  Speaker 25: small the audience, suddenly I was put in front of
• 27:09
  Speaker 25: many thousands of people, far too soon, i'd say, because
• 27:12
  Speaker 25: of the success of Parishan. But it made me dream bigger. Also,
• 27:17
  Speaker 25: I think I am a product of the success that
• 27:22
  Speaker 25: was handed to me in a way interesting. Yeah, And
• 27:27
  Speaker 25: I didn't take it that well, Sammy. You know, in
• 27:29
  Speaker 25: the beginning, I wasn't sure if I was deserving of
• 27:33
  Speaker 25: the success that I got because I got it too
• 27:35
  Speaker 25: soon and I didn't know what to do with myself.
• 27:39
  Speaker 25: But as life would have it, and the people I met,
• 27:43
  Speaker 25: and the opportunities that came my way, like Pritama giving
• 27:48
  Speaker 25: me songs like that they See and Let's le Gay
• 27:50
  Speaker 25: and then having Vishal take her the baby go base person,
• 27:53
  Speaker 25: the chingham Tebaki, all these beautiful songs that made me
• 27:57
  Speaker 25: understand my own potentially, you know, and learn two things
• 28:00
  Speaker 25: about myself.
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: Good luck.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot has changed, I'm sure. And of course
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: working with each of those individuals that you named some
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: of the greatest of our generation, Yeah, you learn so much.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: You go through such a personal kind of development there
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: and each of the songs that you work with on them,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: whether it's the process of the entire project or what
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: it may specifically call for, but or the song itself.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: You know of these great names without having to actually
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: specifically mention anyone by name if you don't choose to.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Were there people that you know, different people that brought
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: out something from you that made you feel uncomfortable in
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: the moment, but you are glad you did it after
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: the fact.
• 28:42
  Speaker 25: Absolutely, In fact, this one song that I did sing,
• 28:46
  Speaker 25: which I completely didn't feel like I was cut out for,
• 28:49
  Speaker 25: and I felt like staged.
• 28:52
  Speaker 26: Was it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 25: They called me to sing a song called Hyrana for
• 28:54
  Speaker 25: the film Nowaday Ish Yeah, and the pretty much tailor
• 28:59
  Speaker 25: made that song for Okay. So I remember sitting in
• 29:03
  Speaker 25: the guitarist's house on the floor with a harmonium and
• 29:07
  Speaker 25: the guitarist frumming the guitar and headed Bay is playing
• 29:10
  Speaker 25: the harmonium and they're figuring the scale of the song
• 29:14
  Speaker 25: or so that I am comfortable singing it. And having
• 29:16
  Speaker 25: said that, I just felt like it was just not
• 29:18
  Speaker 25: up my alley and that they shouldn't have me singing it.
• 29:21
  Speaker 25: And I had to be in the studio three days
• 29:23
  Speaker 25: in a row trying to get that song right, and
• 29:26
  Speaker 25: I felt like I was just not the one for it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 25: And I kept telling Mary, why are you wasting your
• 29:32
  Speaker 25: time with me? You're wasting studio time and your resources.
• 29:35
  Speaker 25: Get someone else, and he was adamant that no, you
• 29:38
  Speaker 25: will do it, and don't worry how many days it takes,
• 29:41
  Speaker 25: you are going to do it. And I literally had
• 29:43
  Speaker 25: goose pimples when I heard it on the third day.
• 29:46
  Speaker 25: What I was able to do just because he believed
• 29:48
  Speaker 25: in me.
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 29:50
  Speaker 25: So I think that is a moment that I keep
• 29:55
  Speaker 25: remembering every time I am confronted with something that I
• 29:59
  Speaker 25: haven't felt very comfortable doing all that selfs like this
• 30:02
  Speaker 25: is not something for me, and I remember recording Chyron.
• 30:06
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You go through this process, you go through going
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: into let's just call it entering the phase of a
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: successful artist out there and be it through this path
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: of being a Bollywood singer, and then comes a moment
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: in life where you say, you know what, I want
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: to go in this direction. There's something that probably pulled
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: you in towards that direction, which is to kind of
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: sail off in a very scary place, which is becoming
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: an independent artist. It is a very scary place to
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: go into. But yet you sail off into that direction.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: You know, if you don't mind me asking you, what
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: was it about the business not to say that you
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: have you know, left it behind or there was something
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: that you wanted to kick behind you there? But was
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: there a moment there that made you say, you know,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: I want to I want to go in this direction.
• 31:00
  Speaker 25: I felt like I wasn't doing everything that I was
• 31:03
  Speaker 25: supposed to be doing within music. A lot that I'm
• 31:07
  Speaker 25: singing for films is using your voice, but I don't
• 31:11
  Speaker 25: feel like I am meant.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: To do just that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 12: I was.
• 31:15
  Speaker 25: I felt like my calling as a musician was to
• 31:17
  Speaker 25: write my own music, to write for others someday, to
• 31:21
  Speaker 25: perform that music, to conceptualize the music video or a
• 31:24
  Speaker 25: stage show, or design costumes. And there's just so many
• 31:27
  Speaker 25: legs and arms to music that I felt like would
• 31:31
  Speaker 25: be the thing that I would feel my soul is
• 31:34
  Speaker 25: satisfied now doing music right. I just didn't feel like
• 31:37
  Speaker 25: I it was enough for me to render a song
• 31:41
  Speaker 25: written by someone else, and that is what you end
• 31:44
  Speaker 25: up doing when you're singing in for films. So and
• 31:49
  Speaker 25: I remember that the initial dream was always to write
• 31:52
  Speaker 25: my own music, and the lockdown made me really get
• 31:55
  Speaker 25: back to that dream and just wake up from this
• 31:58
  Speaker 25: soul state of going with the flow, which is what
• 32:00
  Speaker 25: happened for ten good years, you know with Bollywood. Still
• 32:04
  Speaker 25: lockdown came in and I was reminded that, hey, you
• 32:07
  Speaker 25: wanted to write your own songs, remember that's what you
• 32:09
  Speaker 25: decided to do with it. And that's when I really
• 32:13
  Speaker 25: got back to it.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that must have been a moment for you because
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: it probably showed you that your own path was in
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: your own control. You could put out the work that
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: was self liberating in whatever personal way that may be.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: And so now you head off into this direction, you
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: start doing the independent thing, as we say, very difficult terrain,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: as we talked about, but you've done it so well.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: And my question to you is, you know what were
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: you going to say?
• 32:42
  Speaker 24: But what?
• 32:44
  Speaker 25: But I feel like I'm questioned by Bollywood and I
• 32:48
  Speaker 25: am very aware of that.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: The fact that I have these.
• 32:52
  Speaker 25: Hits from Bollywood and film music under my belt, it
• 32:55
  Speaker 25: really questions my endeavors into the end and in space
• 33:01
  Speaker 25: because for an independent, like truly independent artists who has
• 33:04
  Speaker 25: had no hit songs, it's much much harder than it
• 33:08
  Speaker 25: is for me. I find I still feel like I
• 33:12
  Speaker 25: can take the money that I make through my stage shows,
• 33:17
  Speaker 25: et cetera, and pump it into my independent music so
• 33:20
  Speaker 25: I can fuel that fire. Having said that, I know
• 33:27
  Speaker 25: that I have still worked on my Bollywood side. It's
• 33:31
  Speaker 25: not like it just came out of nowhere. I have
• 33:33
  Speaker 25: put in the work and I should acknowledge that as well,
• 33:36
  Speaker 25: which my imposter syndrome is like extremely big it should.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Be celebrated, and it is. And of course for you,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: it's opened so many doors and here you are, as
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: I said to you, it's allowed you the luxury to
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: push off into this direction uncharted sometimes as it may be,
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: the industry has changed so much over this decade, maybe
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: even two decades, or people like myself that have been
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: around even a little bit longer three decades. But my
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: question to you is this, is it easier now or
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: is it harder than when you first started.
• 34:12
  Speaker 25: I like that it's harder now. I've wanted it to
• 34:16
  Speaker 25: be hard in the beginning, which I didn't get. Remember
• 34:18
  Speaker 25: when I said that Paristan came in too easy, and
• 34:20
  Speaker 25: I felt like was the struggle was my struggle?
• 34:23
  Speaker 14: You know?
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: And I feel like.
• 34:24
  Speaker 25: Maybe my struggle is this. This is my struggle, and
• 34:27
  Speaker 25: I'm celebrating my struggle because when I win, you know,
• 34:31
  Speaker 25: when I do, when I feel like, yes, I have won,
• 34:34
  Speaker 25: I feel worthy of that win, which I don't think
• 34:36
  Speaker 25: I felt, you know when Parissan came out, And this
• 34:39
  Speaker 25: is that period for me that I'm really enjoying.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's phases of you I have witnessed out there.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I love how you use social media.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say it as a weapon, because you
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: have used it as a way for people to really
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: get to connect with you, be it the songs that
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: you decide to sing for your audience to the realm
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: of discussions that you have with the audience there on
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: the camera. I feel like you have really done an
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: excellent job of utilizing social media. You know, through my
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: voyage of discovering your work, I found that you had
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: a previous era of your identity, which was this. You
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: called it the gray hair, the silver hair pixie. And
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: now I.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: Did.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: And now as I see you here, what's the difference
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: between these two people here, the the pixie girl and
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: sel Mille right here talking to us today, Because that
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: was an interesting identity and I and I knew that
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: that probably comes from something.
• 35:50
  Speaker 25: You know, I feel like I'm still that girl with
• 35:54
  Speaker 25: the pixie hair, and I felt like I needed to
• 35:59
  Speaker 25: I needed to showcase my version too. Like on the
• 36:04
  Speaker 25: outside I felt like who I was becoming and the
• 36:11
  Speaker 25: whole pivot into independent music and everything that I am
• 36:15
  Speaker 25: setting out to do, I felt like I had to
• 36:18
  Speaker 25: feel that on the outside as well, not only on
• 36:20
  Speaker 25: the inside. So I chopped my hair off. And I
• 36:22
  Speaker 25: don't know what it is about cutting one's hair that
• 36:25
  Speaker 25: makes you feel very liberated. There is something very and
• 36:32
  Speaker 25: I actually the whole I remember saying this, I don't
• 36:35
  Speaker 25: want to lean on my hair or beauty, you know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 25: like a woman's hair is hers her beauty right a
• 36:42
  Speaker 25: lot of times, and I didn't want to lean on
• 36:45
  Speaker 25: my hair. That is not what is beautiful about me.
• 36:48
  Speaker 25: I am who I am, regardless of my hair.
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 36:53
  Speaker 25: I remember feeling bad when I cut my hair, and
• 36:58
  Speaker 25: I just felt a little rebelling is also and I
• 37:01
  Speaker 25: still am that rebellious even now. I have a very
• 37:05
  Speaker 25: clear idea in my head as to what I want
• 37:07
  Speaker 25: to do and which direction I want to head in
• 37:12
  Speaker 25: and how soon I want to get there or how
• 37:15
  Speaker 25: soon I don't want to get there. So that the
• 37:19
  Speaker 25: inside of the pixie head girl is still the same,
• 37:21
  Speaker 25: she's just so hair has out grown now.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: So funny here the music industry has changed in so
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: many ways. When you look at what Indian music is doing,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: it has not only reached the diaspora and all the
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: corners of the diaspora, and I feel like the narrative
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: has been centralized, which is very interesting and it's a
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: great time. But then there's this movement where there's a
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: belief that Indian music could quote unquote crossover. And my
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: question to you is, do you see that happening? Do
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: you see an Indian artist coming along here? And I
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: and I don't mean to throw out the word for
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: you know, forever, yeah, because that's that's a lot of
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: math to go against. But in terms of maybe over
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: the next do you see a star over the next
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: five years that has the ability approach, the sound and
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: everything else that goes along with it to quote unquote
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: cross over to the mainstream? Are we do we already
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: have that person or has that person not come out
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: into the public site yet or does that person not exist?
• 38:40
  Speaker 25: I find that to a great extent, Honoman Kind is
• 38:43
  Speaker 25: the beginning of that, right.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, he did cross over.
• 38:46
  Speaker 25: He is an Indian artist, even though he's rapping in English,
• 38:50
  Speaker 25: but he is an Indian artist and he's made that
• 38:52
  Speaker 25: kind of impact, and he has a lot of work.
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: Before the one that blew up correct.
• 38:57
  Speaker 25: To support his you know, credibility as an artist is
• 39:00
  Speaker 25: that it's not like a one hit wonder. So in
• 39:04
  Speaker 25: the sense of talent, and Indians having that kind of
• 39:07
  Speaker 25: impact over the music scene over the world one hundred percent.
• 39:12
  Speaker 25: I think everybody is looking to India right now in
• 39:15
  Speaker 25: this moment, like how there was a time when Nigeria
• 39:18
  Speaker 25: was like the place where afrobeat and stuff was was
• 39:21
  Speaker 25: like the.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: The thing to look forward to.
• 39:24
  Speaker 25: I was digging acrobeit long before afrobeat became big. In fact,
• 39:29
  Speaker 25: we were in the reggaeton era when I was like
• 39:31
  Speaker 25: rooting for afrobeat, like yes.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you got around for a long time. It really has,
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: and it finally enjoyed its moment maybe over this last decade,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: of course, and so many artists that did break through.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: And I agree with you, we're seeing the beginning of
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: this movement. And I loved your answer because that is
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: exactly what I was going to say. It's already happening, Sammy.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: And to your point, we've staged it here in my backyard,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: here in Coachella in the US and so on a
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: so forth, and we've had Jimmy fallon host our own.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: So there you got. Yeah, so very.
• 40:07
  Speaker 25: Interesting happening, and it ought to happen because there's that
• 40:11
  Speaker 25: kind of talent and then got always been that kind
• 40:14
  Speaker 25: of talent. Yeah, and the whole image of India being
• 40:17
  Speaker 25: the snake charmers and elephants.
• 40:19
  Speaker 12: Are on the road and stuff.
• 40:20
  Speaker 25: It's like the sorry Bones. You are living in the
• 40:23
  Speaker 25: past and you are the one and fault if you're
• 40:25
  Speaker 25: thinking that about India.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Long gone, long gone for sure. Yeah, let's turn our
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: attention to your work here. You've got this song that
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: comes to comes across to me very personal. Yeah. My
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: question to you is how personal is this without of
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: course getting into any any pages of your diary, but
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: beyond that has is is this? Is this what you
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: mean by it's given me the ability to say what
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I want and and how much into your diary do
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: you reach in when you songs?
• 41:02
  Speaker 25: I think that is the one thing I completely lean
• 41:06
  Speaker 25: on my emotions and whatever.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Tell us about this song as well. By the way,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: in the context of this song, yeah, you know get
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: up of course being you know, stolen by love, I
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: guess is the way to put it right. But please
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: tell us yes, so I.
• 41:22
  Speaker 25: Don't find myself in my get up era right now
• 41:25
  Speaker 25: in life. But when I did write it, when we
• 41:28
  Speaker 25: were working on the demo, I just felt like I
• 41:31
  Speaker 25: wanted to go back to the time when I was
• 41:34
  Speaker 25: that girl who had surrendered herself in love, you know,
• 41:37
  Speaker 25: where she couldn't tell black from white, and she wanted
• 41:40
  Speaker 25: to just do anything and everything he wants to do.
• 41:45
  Speaker 25: And I find that young love, especially when you're in
• 41:48
  Speaker 25: your teenage or you know, your early twenties, you find
• 41:52
  Speaker 25: yourself in those situations where you're completely blind and no
• 41:58
  Speaker 25: matter how the man is treating you, you are okay
• 42:03
  Speaker 25: with it, completely smitten. And I think this song I
• 42:09
  Speaker 25: have tapped into that feeling. I'm not that person anymore,
• 42:11
  Speaker 25: by the way, I don't so it's a little late
• 42:15
  Speaker 25: for me to release a song like get Up in
• 42:18
  Speaker 25: my own context. But I could tap into that emotion
• 42:21
  Speaker 25: from when I was a little younger, when I had,
• 42:24
  Speaker 25: you know, felt absolutely smitten by the man that I
• 42:28
  Speaker 25: was crushing on or was in a relationship with.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: That's so awesome, if you don't mind. First of all,
• 42:36

• 53:36
  Speaker 3: shout out to sheel Molie today for joining us today
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: and being so open about her story and in my
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: time in this business. I'll tell you the rarest thing
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: I ever hear an artist say not I made it,
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: not I got lucky. The rarest thing is an artist
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: telling you that they wanted the struggle and didn't get
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: enough of it. Sheel molik Olga, it told me that
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: today and butter Sean made her a star overnight. The
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: dream most singers chased their whole lives handed her in
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: a single day and She'll tell you the honest thing
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: about that kind of success. It arrived before she'd earned
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: it in her own eyes, and the impost syndrome that
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: followed never fully left. Most artists would bury that. She
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: named it right here without flinching. And then she told
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: me that what she's doing about it. And then she
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: told me right here what she's doing about it. She
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: left the comfort of the Bollywood machine. She left the
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: comfort of the Bollywood machine, the hits, the cushion, the
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: guaranteed work, to build something with no guarantees at all,
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: her own music, her own voice, a harder road chosen
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: on purpose because in her own words, she likes that
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: it's harder. Now. When she wins on the road, she'll
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: feel worthy on the wind in a way she never
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: got to feel that time. When she wins on the road,
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: when she wins on this road, she'll feel worthy of
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: that win in a way she never got to feel
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: the first time. That's the difference between a singer and
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: an artist, and Chelmley is unmistakably the second thing. She
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: isn't afraid to show up in her raw modium. She
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: isn't afraid to show up in her raw emotion for
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: her audience. She skates the line between a song being
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: sung and an emotional condition being expressed deliberately because she
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: believes that's exactly what she owes the people listening her
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: truth rapped in a song and given to you. And
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: one more thing, she said, I want every one of
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: you to hear. When she talked about the old image
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: of India, the snaink charmers, the elephants, the tide cliches,
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: she didn't hedge. She said, if you still think that
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: about India, you're living in the past. That's the confidence
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: of an artist who knows exactly where her country is
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: headed and exactly where she's bringing to it and exactly
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: what she's bringing to it. Go find her independent work,
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Go find gift. Sean Malik Oldgade is building something on
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: the hard road on purpose. When the rest of the
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: world catches up, you'll be glad you were listening to
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: it now right here on the bridge. I'll see you
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: guys tomorrow, everybody, and I'll leave you with this song
• 56:27
