Making your own breaks.

I joined Customs Mumbai in 2009 and returned to my native place Bihar in 2012. When I was in Mumbai, I was interested in lyrics writing, but I was shy and lacked courage to try in this field.

During 2015 when I was very interested in writing, my wife suggested if I am interested in it for a year then I will go back to Bombay. I continued writing lyrics one whole year. Then we decided to come back to dream city Mumbai.

I am very lucky that I went to my native place Bihar, through Departmental ICT (Intra-Commissionerate Transfer,) and returned back to Bombay also through ICT. It is rare in Government service. Now I am an Inspector in Central Excise and service tax.

I always liked Bakshi sahab, Shailendra jee, Sahir Sahab, Majrooh sahab. I have read and listened to and watched Bakshi sahab's songs many times.

Bakshi sahab had once said - If you want to be a lyricist in films, just come here and struggle. Do not write to me for this. So, I am not telling about it. I too will struggle to keep Bakshi sahab's words in my mind alive and his blessing in my lyrics.

Thanks.......
