My Thoughts
Welcome to 'My Thoughts,' a podcast where I share personal insights and lessons from life’s journey. Each episode offers reflections on growth, purpose, and navigating challenges—designed to inspire and guide you in your own path. Let’s explore life’s lessons together!
My name is Alvat Garewal, and I’m a musician and music producer with over 40 years of experience in creating and sharing music. Beyond music, I’m also a businessman with extensive experience in the photographic industry. I’m passionate about sports like squash, badminton, and snooker, and I have a love for thought-provoking films, particularly thrillers and sci-fi.
A family-oriented person at heart, I find inspiration in the people around me—friends, family, and everyday interactions—and I strive to see the positives, even in life’s challenges. This outlook fuels everything I do, and I’m excited to share my thoughts and experiences with you.
