Namaste Hive!

It has been 5 years since I made my first post on this blog here. Back then HIVE did not exist.
I migrated to HIVE with the fork and haven't been active for a while.

But now I am back so let me re-introduce myself to the lovely HIVE community 😎

My name is Hardik Vaghela.

I dabble in so many things that I don't find it fair to define myself into a specific box.
So usually I just call myself a Spiritual Being learning from a Human Experience! 😇

And within this Human Experience I am:

A proud Father, Husband, Son and Brother
Professionally A Musician, Songwriter, Music Producer and all other things music 🎶
An Entrepreneur by experience
A film-maker & video editor by curiosity
A Graphic Designer by necessity
A Multidisciplinary Creator by heart ❤️

~ Meet My Family ~

I am a lucky husband and a proud father of my almost-8-year-old son!

My wife makes me a better person each day and our connection and bond only grows stronger as we learn about ourselves through each other.

My son inspires me to be a better person so that he can be proud of me one day!
Life has been a fantastic adventure and we learn and grow with each other every moment.

Here is one such adventure. Watch the whole thing - you will have fun! 😄

~ Meet - Muziclub - My Academy ~

I am right there in the centre with the white jacket and Daft-Punky sunglasses! 😎

I co-founded Muziclub in June 2010.
It is now more than 11 years that we have been providing quality music education offline and now more online since 2020.

The most fun I have at Muziclub is when I create Twist Covers. These are parody songs with lyrics changed to make the song into a promotion for Muziclub 🤓

Here is one of my favourites:

Our aim at muziclub is to help people live music in their daily lives.

That is why our motto is "Live Music"

Here is something I wrote which I keep coming back to read:

"Then, at the beginning of the very end
Mind begins to wander
Ponders the pointlessness of it all
Searches for meaning in the less
Ignoring the wisdom of the more

It is a paradox
The phantasm of truth
But fear not my naive one
For Music is ephemeral
And forever"

~ Meet - Alif - My Band ~

I am the one with the keyboard 🎹

Mohammad Muneem (poet, singer, songwrite) and I co-founded Alif in 2008.

Alif writes poetry in Urdu and Kashmiri. The sound is an amalgamation of ethnic flavours and blends of different genres which is beautifully crafted into contemporary poetry.

Alif is the winner of 8th Dada Saheb Phalke Award for 'Best Music Video' for the song 'Lalnawath' and IRAA (Indian Recording Arts Academy Awards) for 'Best Music Production - Independent' for their song 'Like A Sufi'.
Alif’s song “Katyu Chuko” is part of Imtiaz Ali and Sajid Ali’s Bollywood film - Laila Majnu.

Follow Alif on Instagram.

Here are some of music videos and live performances of Alif:

There are many many more things to know about me!

Writing this post makes me realise I have been blessed to have done so much in such a short period of time that it is becoming difficult to choose what to write next.

Its making my back hurt! 😝

So let's keep the rest of my adventures for the upcoming posts and videos on this blog. 🤓

I shall see you guys very soon!
