Piyush Mishra Opens Up on Alcohol, Ego and Healing | Live at Jashn-e-Rekhta
Piyush Mishra takes the stage at Jashn-e-Rekhta for one of his most honest sessions yet. He talks openly about ego, alcohol addiction, guilt and the slow, unglamorous work of recovery. He shares how a Vipassana meditation retreat in 2010 shifted the way he saw himself, and how he started accepting his flaws and apologising to the people he had hurt.
From there the session moves into his poetry on addiction, pain and healing. The words land hard because they come from lived experience, not just performance. There's no act here, just a man speaking plainly about the parts of his life he could have easily hidden.
The video closes with a powerful live performance of "Aarambh Hai Prachand", the famous Gulaal song, with the crowd singing along word for word. It's the kind of moment that reminds you why his writing has stayed with people for so long.
