"Before joining Roc fresh , he sure had goals and knew the path as to where he wanted to head ..but now that he has a crew he is pretty focused an understands responsibility. He is learning what a crew is all about .He is learning  fast ! As far as his skills go, he is getting better day by day" - Bboy Bunny (Roc fresh Crew) Qualifier Round at BC1 india cypher :)After all those ups and Downs You Gotta Do your Thing :)REPRESENT # ROC FRESH Posted by Karan Shelar on Monday, June 15, 2015

Been breaking in Trinidad alone for a year now since I moved here in October last year. Had to move from my major source to inspiration ( my crew) to mother nature and the thought of being able to Roc Fresh back in Mumbai again someday!  Here I ended up getting down at a colleagues wedding :) Grass sessions On the house!

I wrote this blog entry as a continuation to my last post ;"my introduction to breaking" .

We didn't have internet either so I couldn't look it up. The combination of the breaking and the music was what got me hooked.  The same year I moved to India, to my hometown Dehradun where I "got down" or was "put down to breaking". I had a friend who liked Hip Hop music whose name was Anand Chopra. He had a big collection of MP3s on his computer and I had a CD case .
