I am yet to find a real human who is all knowing, you may also give it a try. Since I’ve realized this feat is not possible, am trying to gather knowledge and share experiences by creating a digital repository, mostly in the areas I am passionate about, so in no order of preference they are Human Resources Management, Poetry, coffee, Music and Stories of Life i.e. all things about being a 1980s kid.

Don’t Stop Dancing Ep. 7 1:14 Jasper Joseph Mathew - The man who creates MAGIC! An Interview with Jasper lets into the broad musical experience and journey of the man; It palpably was not easy but his story here substantiates that 'Hard work Goes A Long Way!' Catch him talk about his experience playing with the legends Naveen Kumar, Hariharan Ji and Zakir Hussain Ji. Not to miss out the track 'I surrender all' as Flautist, Naveen Kumar & Jasper Bring Amazing to Life! This interview was recoded very cautiously. The first 3 remain as attempts, credits to a/many technical snag. That didn't stop us from recording the last episode of season 1 the 4th time. And it clearly let's out the theme even in the recording & editing experience 'Don't Stop Dancing' BTW we tried to edit through the snags twice. This is the final Take! Enjoy the labor of Hard Work, Patience and Perseverance. Follow Jasper to stay updated on his Magical Expedition!

CHORUS: Into a place, none of us could stay In this case, I just don't have to say Tears on my face, they just gave it away. VERSE: The melodies fading away In the sea sailing away To a place, none of us could stay Are you listening, or walking away?

Is the crashing sound of your feelings reaching you? Are you sure you are going in the right direction? Aren't you trying too hard to reach perfection? Isn't the hardest part of being yourself to be Alone in your mind because it's your only company Isn't tomorrow the best lie that keeps you going Or do you have any choice without your impatience growing Your own expectations will make you bow out someday Change is better but don't always expect a fair play In the end, a life worth lived is the one on your own terms Don't let it be a journey full of missed U-turns

I saw you come from the west, Walk through a sandstorm, with your shades on. I saw you with a flamethrower, No dilemma, Moving through, burning the fields of greed, come what may! I saw an angel like figure run in despair; the sight was marvellous. And then You just kept moving, moving forward; northwards. Written & Narrated by Dennis John. Music - Joseph McDade ©Dennis John
