I was a toddler when two women at a doorstep decided what I was worth.

It took me decades to hear the lesson inside that deal.

This one is about value decided, not discovered.

About us waiting for circumstances to hand down a verdict that was never theirs to give.

And about the harder half: receiving.

Who taught you what you were worth? And have you been living by their estimate ever since?

Uday Benegal is the founding vocalist of Indus Creed (formerly Rock Machine), the Bombay band that  that arguably forced the rest of the world to acknowledge the existence of a culture that had always existed inside post-colonial India amidst the crossfire of an East and West not always as hypothetical as portrayed.

Rock Music. 

Indus Creed navigated a global music industry with no label, no budget, and no precedent, and still managed to land an MTV Video Music Award at a time when public internet did not exist in India, and its passport offered access to a fraction of the countries whose culture flowed freely the other way; a one-way traffic that remains a controversial dynamic in the history of the world's largest democracy.

This conversation traces the journey from Bombay bus rides hoping to catch unannounced matinee shows of ‘Woodstock’, to the New York club scene eventually leading to a long creative silence, and Uday’s much awaited solo EP that finally broke it, in his Goa home this May.

Most creatives know that beliefs are holding them back.

Some can articulate them, analyse them, even replace them with supposedly empowering alternatives.

Yet the behaviour often remains unchanged, and the resistance stubbornly intact. 

 

What comes up:

Why "limiting belief" might be the inaccurate terminology 

What self-sabotage is actually trying to do 

The question I used to ask, and the one I ask now

Why knowing the pattern doesn't always break it

The beliefs you never chose

The brain mistakes repetition for safety, comfort for understanding, and endurance for choice.

This confusion runs deeper than personal relationships; it shapes entire careers, industries, and the inherited scripts we mistake for our own lives. 

What comes up:

Why the decisions that change your life rarely feel safe at the time

Why the brain is a prediction machine, not a happiness machine

Liking things simply because we've seen them before

The known wound vs. the unknown opening

The music industry as an amplified version of everyone's life

The starving artist: when suffering becomes a costume, then an identity

Is this safe, or just recognised?
