How has travelling helped you?
I thank God Almighty that he shown me so many beautiful nations. I feel I am blessed. Travelling opens up ideas and my horizons. It pushes me to understand my inner callings and helps perceiving things with a broader outlook.
Did you ever feel that you would compose songs ?
Well I created a melody for myself in Standard 5 during school days and used to Hum it when I was alone and felt lonely . After say 25 odd years when we were travelling to Israel I was humming it again during the entire tour. I just recorded the voice samples so that I don't forget the melody and the words. Once I came down to India I asked my friend to write the remaining part of the song as per my vision of Dil Mera Dil. Once the entire song was ready I called up Shaan Sir and requested him to sing. I felt only Shaan sir could to justice to my song. I was tensed whether he would like it or not. He heard it and said he loved the composition and would love to sing. After the dubbing during a coffee break he asked me whose composition was Dil Mera Dil? I smiled and said Mera Hai sir. I feel Shaan sir has put his heart in Dil Mera Dil and I am sure the people are going to love it. Dil Mera Dil releases worldwide on Valentine's Day, 14th February 2020.
You have also made a documentary on Israel? How did that happen?
A.K.International Tourism organises trips for those believers who intend to travel to the Holy land of Israel, Jordan and Egypt. I felt that in old age it is difficult for people to travel too , so with the help of Ministry of Tourism of Israel, Jordan and Egypt we shot across the important pilgrimage sites in the Holyland titled "The Holyland Journey" and made the documentary available in English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Assamese, Gujarati, Malayalam, Urdu , Punjabi and Oriya with English subtitles.

How did Tera Shukriya happen?
Well I was touring Russia and heading back to India when I started composing this song in the flight. Once I landed the Holy spirit suggested these words and I penned it down. At home I locked myself for 10 hours before penning the final lyrics and melody. Tera Shukriya begins my journey as a Music Composer and lyricist.
