Mishal R. Bhatiya, a seasoned vocalist and composer for over 16 years. His musical journey began with a rich heritage of music passed down from his mother, aunts, and uncles. As the lead vocalist and music composer for the last 11 years with the Triveni Theater, Baroda, Mishal has honed his skills through corporate shows, composing, arranging, and participating in prestigious festivals like Abhivyakti and Bharat Rang Mahotsav. His talent has garnered him national platforms and collaborations with renowned artists like Ravin Naik and Ninad Mehta. In this edition of Abhivyakti City Arts Project, Mishal's musical endeavour, "Purushartham," delves into the often-overlooked topic of men's emotional and mental health, exploring the narratives of women who discuss men in their lives and highlighting the societal pressures and expectations placed upon men. Men are frequently taken for granted, assumed to be capable of handling responsibilities from a young age. This conditioning often leads to suppressing emotions and avoiding expressing pain. "Purushartham" aims to challenge these stereotypes and normalize men expressing their feelings, problems, and challenges.
