What challenges did you face while preparing your home to facilitate videos with people from across the globe?
Honestly, DIY is my middle name. So, securing my crutches to selfie sticks, using old saree borders donated by Bagya, my housekeeper, was thrilling. I wanted to do this homemade-recording studio thing with materials lying around the house. Remember that when the lockdown began, Amazon was only delivering essentials. So, it was a minor victory each time we made something work, like getting the shadows to disappear on the walls or the camera height exactly right. After a few videos, the method was established. That’s when I decided to move around the house and change locations so that it wouldn’t be boring. Today, I can set up and take down in an hour.

What did you enjoy the most about the entire process?
From the time I began my singing career, I’ve stayed clear of the technology part. It’s always frightened me. I’ve been forced to learn how to record on my computer and this, too, has been totally liberating. I’ve learned so many tricks that I now feel like a pro. I never thought it was possible. This is from someone who didn’t know how to plug her mic into the amp after singing for some 40 years.
