Study Abroad Journey: Finding Your Motivation in Music

Moving to a new country can be exciting yet intimidating. While the prospect of moving to a new country, gaining new experiences and starting a new life can be exciting, the harsh reality is that sometimes students feel homesick and lonely while trying to adapt to their new surroundings.

During this time, students may often feel demotivated and find themselves procrastinating on their daily tasks. This bout of demotivation and laziness can often be overcome with music as it helps you divert your attention and the beats will cause an adrenaline rush in your system. Here are 7 of our favourite Bollywood motivational tracks:

Kar Har Maidaan Fateh – Sanju

Brothers Anthem – Brothers

Another sports-centric movie, another banger of a title track.
