Atkan Chatkan (2020)

 ðŸŽ¥ Music! an escape from reality...

Reflection
Reminds me of the following lines from Paulo Coelho's masterpiece 'The Alchemist':
"... when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

Sometimes you are born with a gift. If you figure it out and stick to it, nothing can stop you from realizing your true potential.
