Music Mulakatein Foundation

We’re located in Chembur, over at Kismat Residency on 12th Road. Plot No. 526, room 602 is where we are. It’s a typical Mumbai apartment block, so it gets a bit noisy sometimes. Music Mulakatein is all about getting people together through music. It’s not a fancy conservatory or a formal school. We just think music is a good way to talk to people and bring them together. Sometimes we host small gatherings in the flat, or we go out into the neighborhood to do something. Chembur has a lot of history, and we like being part of it. We aren't professional musicians for the most part, just people who enjoy it and think it matters. Our office is mostly full of instruments and old records. It can get a bit crowded when a few of us are in there at the same time trying to work. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything like that. We just tell people when we’re doing something, and they show up if they want to. It’s very casual and low-key. Sometimes the neighbors complain if we get a bit too loud, so we have to watch the time in the evenings. But mostly, people are happy to hear something other than the usual traffic. We’re just trying to keep the local culture alive in our own small way. It’s not a business, it’s more of a hobby that got a bit bigger than we expected.
