My wedding was a very private affair for close family and friends, so I had decided to hold a reception in my native town.

I had a lot of Bengali friends in Delhi. The bands there had Bengali musicians: for example, Indian Ocean. We use to have a good amount of adda and sing songs through the night.

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.

For an artiste like me, it was very difficult to focus on studies with a beautiful campus around me.

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.

As I was born and brought up in Himachal Pradesh, I used to listen to a lot of Hindi songs over radio apart from ghazals, western music, and 'Himachali' folk songs.
