MUMBAI: Whether writing music and deciding who to play with or hitting the road for adventures, Bryan Ernest trusts his instinct and stays open to emergence. Rarely, if ever, does he travel with a plan. If he does, the plan almost always goes to the wayside in favor of the unexpected adventures that pop up along the way in which so much of life’s beauty is waiting to be discovered and through which so many rich life perspectives are unraveled through people and places. The road teaches Bryan about life’s truths; how to hone and trust his instinct, how to engage with people and allow beautiful moments to emerge and how sometimes the most unexpected and unplanned way is the best one.
