N. Raghuraman's column: Is "DJ" a way to overcome loneliness in some careers?

Our cook, Kamala Shahu, complains to us at least ten times a month that she never sleeps before 2 a.m. This is when she leaves our house at 8 pm every night and stays at a walking distance of five minutes. The reason for this is his third unmarried son Satish, who also works as a disc jockey (DJ) after a job and returns from the hotel at 1.30 am. Kamala is able to sleep only after serving her food. When Satish got married last month, I told him that since you are married, you can quit working as a DJ. But Satish gave me a different perspective. He explained that he works in the backend of a large firm, where loneliness is very disturbing. That's why the DJ helps her stay creative throughout the day. "DJ music is all about putting familiar sounds in a new context. Listening to an unexpected mash-up or clever transition teaches your brain how to combine two completely different concepts in everyday work. "Many of the world's richest entrepreneurs DJ for a few hours as it acts as a powerful catalyst to stimulate your imagination in many important ways. Back home, I searched for prominent entrepreneurs who use DJ music to boost their creative creativity. Clearly, engaging with DJ sets exercises specific neural pathways that are related to innovative problem solving, cognitive flexibility, and emotional expression. The first person I found interesting online was Hassan Hadi, founder and managing director of London-based family law firm Southgate Solicitors. He started DJing last year and found that it not only helped his creativity, but also allowed him to focus on his work. Satish also claims the same. Among the founders who have been DJing amateurs are Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon, BBC "Dragon's Den" show panellist Steven Bartlett, and Victor Riperbelli, co-founder and chief executive of Synthesys, a $4 billion AI video creator company. Harley Finkelstein, the president of Shopify, started the DJ company as a teenager and still frequently DJs at his company's corporate events. On a day-to-day basis, Hadi manages, leads, and supervises his law firm. Although they no longer see casework, they help young legal professionals get contracts. "Managing a law firm during the day and DJing require the same skills," he says. "They're right, too. Both lawyers and DJs have to understand the atmosphere, respond accordingly. Immediate circumstances have to be dealt with. Whether it is a court hearing or a business meeting with a client, both have to adapt to the occasion. Interestingly, some people even start DJing at the age of 60. For example, Tina Woods, also known as DJ Tina. He has set up health innovation consultancy 'Collider Health' under a public-private partnership in the UK. Today, at the age of 62, Tina says, "Being an entrepreneur is very lonely and DJ keeps me socially connected. The list of founders who are DJing today or who started DJing before starting the company is very long. But if you are one of those people who go home after a day's business or a high-pressure job and go to sleep and start the same thing again the next day, then if you find DJing uncomfortable, then you can resort to music to relieve stress. The trick is that you must find a way to beat loneliness in life or at the workplace. Listening to music with someone is also a therapy that can be tried.
