Quotes
-
Any literary piece is worth only if it reaches the audience and I keep it very simple. I don't believe in being verbose.
Source: The Hindu interview (2017) -
A song is no longer listened to for its meaning, it is mostly bought for the sake of rhythm and beat. Words go only to serve the musical purpose, not the semantic purpose.
