### How did your recruitment go?
My recruitment was pretty straightforward. I dedicated about a week to prepare 2 songs; <b>Diary of Jane</b> by <b>Breaking Benjamin</b> and <b>The Sound of Muzak</b> by <b>Porcupine Tree<b>. I got myself listed outside the section, went in, played for 10 minutes and 26 seconds and was sent back with a <b>"We'll inform you"</b>. I played the primary beats of the songs (which seemed extremely complex at that time) and was then asked to employ different techniques such as heel­-up kick drumming, playing 16th notes and the 3/4 time signature. Post that, I was presented with a groove and I was asked to improvise on that. I was fortunate enough to have 5 years of experience with all these rudiments while learning in rock school so it was pretty easy to follow. I was called 2 days after and was informed that I had been selected and was to wear shorts and a shirt for the intro <b>chapo</b>.

### What was your most memorable moment/performance?
It’s the best feeling when you go up and walk on stage to your set, and the crowd starts cheering. It brings a little smile on your face and gives you a shot of confidence. At Swaranjali ‘14, I had invited all my friends to watch the show and when I went onstage, they started shouting <b>“Lamba! Lamba!”<b>, with the crowd joining instantaneously and this was not part of some scripted act, so I started looking at the audience following the whooping, trying to locate them (believe me, you can’t see a thing down the stage with all those lights glaring in your face), I smiled and gave my sticks a spin. That has been the most memorable moment of every show since then, and I thank my audience for that.
