00:30I am begging for alms.
00:37When people from Goa used to come, they used to say, why are you doing all this being a
00:55Jat?
00:56I said, bro, this Jat path doesn't matter to me.
01:00My real Jat is just guitar, music, my compositions, my busking and my experimental dance.
01:15My words were heavy, big, strong.
01:19I am happy that they didn't understand.
01:22I am here today because they didn't understand.
01:26They took me to the police station many times.
01:31They asked me why I am doing all this.
01:34I said, sir, this is how it is.
01:36I am a street performer.
01:38There is no permission for this.
01:40You won't even give me permission.
01:42I understand.
01:43But slowly, the police started to understand.
01:56People appreciate me now.
02:26I don't have any idea about this because I don't count.
02:39I go and keep my own and survive from it.
02:56I don't have any idea about this because I don't count.
