I can't take credit for the success of my songs.
My parents tell me that I've been singing since I was really young.
I was making music simultaneously while studying B. Sc. and M. Sc.
After a song comes out, it doesn't remain yours.
It never occurred to me that I'd be a musician. I was just drunk on music, jamming with friends, chilling out with lot of music around.
I always say a song is like a ship. Once it has been made, you let it sail. Let the waves take it in the direction it wants to.
In schools, if you go to teach kids with less interest in music the nuances of music, they feel deviated, as it is very technical. But teaching them songs, to begin with, creates a natural desire in them to know the other country, their eating habits, the way they dress up, how they look, and other things.
For me, music is for the soul - no matter whether the song is composed by me or by someone else.
It is hard work composing a song for a film and showing it to makers: 50% of the tune remains the same, and the remaining 50% is changed to suit the script.
I would take my guitar to college and sit for hours in the hills humming to myself.
Delhi has played a pivotal role in my both personal and professional life.
The real deal is when you are friends with someone said since ninth standard or college days: the person who has been with you through your struggle and stayed with you through thick and thin.
I was born and brought up in Himalchal Pradesh, so I have bond with mountains and love being surrounded by them. So I love Nepal.
I do agree that when a singer sings all the songs for one actor in a film, the impact is much better.
I not only composed music for my albums but also for the film 'Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh.'
I did a lot of theatre.
I finished my university, was part of NSD, and did full length plays on stages.
If I get an offer, and I think there is something I can do, then I will think about it... I am ready to consider any film and TV acting offers, provided it is great.
The whole basis of conserving is not about nature - it is about people. If we don't look after the people surrounding the place, and if they don't have the value of preserving it in their pockets, then they are not going to preserve it.
I have sung some great songs, and fortunately, all have gone to become hits.
