Watch: Anand Mahindra shares video of musician who turned carrot into shehnai

Industrialist Anand Mahindra is known for sharing quirky and informative posts that grab the attention of social media users. This time the Mahindra Group chairman delighted his followers yet again with a scintillating video of a musician who turned a carrot into a shehnai and played melodious music with it.

In a video shared on Sunday, Australian musician Lynsey Pollack transformed a carrot into a clarinet by piercing a vegetable. First, he drilled some holes in the carrot and peeled it slightly to reshape it into a sharp, cylindrical shape. Then he put a keycap on the button and put the mouthpiece of the saxophone on top of it.

Mahindra wrote in the caption, “The message I got from this? Find music in everything around you.”

Once done, the composer showed his masterpiece to the audience. He then played the carrot-carved instrument while the audience erupted in applause.

Ever since being shared, the video has left internet users baffled. In the comments section, while some users called the musician’s performance “fantastic”, others termed it as “fantastic”.

One user wrote, “Find music in everything around you and find joy in everything you do.” “A master craftsman can work with whatever he has. What a perfect example, sir,” said another.

A third user commented, “Finding music in everything is like discovering a hidden treasure. It’s in the sound of raindrops, the hum of a fridge, the purr of a cat, and even a potato peeler.” There’s also the crunch of Chip. Who needs a playlist when… You have the soundtrack of life at your fingertips?” A fourth added, “If you have the persuasion, you can make your way and means to conquer life’s song. The other option is a chance or a crib for everything that failed you.”

Mr. Mahindra’s post has been viewed over 406,000 times and has over 5,000 likes. Notably, the Australian musician showcased his talents at a TED Talk event in Sydney in 2014.
