CAREER Monilal Gorai is a guitarist, songwriter, musician, composer, singer and also the founder and front man of D7th band. Since his childhood, he had keen interest in music. He learned guitar for 10 long years from Mr. Carlton Kitto, who is a Bebop jazz guitarist from Kolkata, India. He took lessons from him and excelled in guitaring so much that when he was just 16 years old, he was appointed as the music teacher by the Carmel Convent School(from1991-2008), which he wished to go to as a Child to study, but due to certain circumstances, he couldn’t. He is specialised in playing guitar, keyboard, drums, congo, harmonium and many other instruments. He dedicated many years of his life teaching music to his students, but even this highly reputable school was too tiny before his big dreams! So he took another Huge step forward and decided to go on a Pedestrian journey(of 1450 km long) all the way from Kolkata to Delhi on 8 May 2000, all alone in just 44 days. Many people joined him & supported him in this journey. Media also played an important role in his journey by supporting him & by publishing his work & achievements. In 2000, Mr Moni Lal went back to Dhanbad to continue his life but then in 2008, he resigned from the Carmel Convent School. In 2008, he came back to Delhi to pursue a career in music and commenced a musical institution "THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC" in Inderpuri, Delhi. It is a very prestigious institution & is known to be one of the best musical schools in Delhi. This school is his life. He has always been strongly influenced by the bengali poem “Ekla Chalo re” composed by the legendary poet Shri Rabindra Nath Tagore…which says “If no one responds to your call, then go your own way alone”. In Delhi he started teaching in diff. schools and later started his own school named "TSM" with few students. But later because of his immense talent, experience and knowledge in the field of music this number has crossed 100 and is still counting. He is also the founder & chairman of "Help & Care" which is trust registered under "Indian Trust Act 1882", headquartered in Delhi. Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves and they were helped through the powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. Mr.Moni Lal Gorai is one of them. He kept going regardless of all the obstacles he met in his journey,and he finally did achieve tons of success and respect in his life. That's why he is a true Rockstar! He strongly believes in : J •	Jeet hamesha achai ki hi hoti h •	Healthy competition is always good •	Work hard & believe in yourself •	Open thy mind walk alone we are not afraid walk alone

ACHIEVEMENTS: He also took few steps ahead with the Nobel work for Poverty, AIDS awareness, fight against dowry system, peace, health, giving voice to the under priveged & illiterates, social upliftment causes and Global awareness. For these noble works he also started a Novel march on foot from Sindri to Dhanbad & Kolkata to New Delhi with the blessings of Mother Nirmala. Organisations such as "Care Today", "Lions Club Dhanbad", "Leo Club of Sindri" etc. supported him in this Novel cause. He has also done state level judgement for 3 times for bharat vikas parisar. ALBUM AND SOLO PROJECTS: Now very soon he'll be releasing his debut album titled "D7th the band" which would have a collection of sufi songs, soft songs, funny songs and rock music. All the songs in this album have been composed and written by Mr. Monilal Gorai with support of his students.This would be his dream project, this was the core reason he came to Delhi.

TSM This school is all about the passion for music. Here, all the students enjoy learning and jamming music with each other. Its a place where no one is judged by their age or by the amount of time they spent learning in the class, but on the basis of their passion for music, their desire to Learn music and their skills. Music is like their religion and language, and love and care is all they have for each other. Music is not just learning notes and playing them, rather you learn notes to play to the music of your soul...and that's Exactly what all the students of TSM do here. All the students feel highly obliged to be a part of the TSM family. In this institution, not only music is being taught but the spirit of togetherness and humanity is also being taught by Mr. Moni Lal Gorai.
