Tales from a Dad & Son

After a Long time, I felt like having a Dad Son pep talk with my highly creative 15 year Old Son Dhruv
He is in Class X at the moment

How creative?
here is an example

Transformers The Game Decepticons Mission 1 Made by Dhruv

Video & Music mixing

at 13 that is no mean feat

More videos on his channel

If you see his feed you will know him!!!

The music, gaming and works

He loves Dubstep, League of Legends, Mortal Kombat

Dubstep, Techno & Metal Music

His fav artistes are Usher, Scorpions, Metallica, David Guetta & GNR

His choice of music is better than mine trust me on that!

Some of his pencil drawings 

An example is here

Cho'Gath from Transformers

Keep talking to your kids
Let them express freely
Do give them some ideas & alternatives.
But in the end
Let them do WHAT THEY WANT TO DO
If they follow their passion, the will excel always!
