Watch: Mumbai autorickshaw driver strums Sholay theme song on passenger's guitar

Ever wished you knew how to play the guitar? This Mumbai auto driver will leave you feeling inspired. Kunj Karia, was returning home from his guitar class in an autorickshaw. He struck up a conversation with the driver and they struck a chord over the instrument. The driver, whose name has not been revealed on the post told Kunj that he was part of a musical group and performed during his heydays but since it did not turn out to be financially rewarding for him, he started driving an auto to support his family.

Me: Sir how do you know so much about guitar?

He: *chuckles* I was a professional guitarist. I used to play with a group of friends, at small restaurants and bars. We used to perform on streets also. All that was 10 years back.

Me: Then why did you stop playing?

He: Money wasn’t good for musicians back then. Also, there was no assurance of a gig on daily basis. I was married and I needed something which assured my family food, at least twice a day.

Me: Hmm.. tell me more about your friends, the group of friends with whom you played, a bit?

He: We started playing when we were around your age. They used to go to college, I couldn’t since I was working at a factory during day time. Every evening we used to meet, play our favorite songs and perform at some bars if we could get in. Good times, those.

(We reached the place where I was going to get down)

Me: It was good talking to you, uncle.

He: You mind if I play something on your guitar? It’s been long since I played one.

(I could see how eager he was to play the guitar)

Me: Sure! I’d love to listen to you.
