When Shirin Mehrotra attended her first listening session in Mumbai in 2018, it was unlike anything she had attended till then. “I loved the newness of it; just the idea of people coming together and listening to something like music, and sharing information about it is really great,” shares the former Mumbaikar, who now calls Delhi her home. While she hasn’t been able to attend any since then, she has a vivid memory of the first and only session that she attended like it was yesterday.
