Anything and everything is worthy of inspiration . There ’ s a song titled “ Running ” in Side B . It is in-spired by our way of life . We seem to constantly be running - behind dreams , success , running to meetings , to catch a flight . The lockdown put a stop to the Running .

Having sung for popular film music as well , do you feel liberated and free while creating your own music ? Tell us more !
I ’ ve wanted to experience this feeling for too long . I always imagined my life to be the way it is today - writing and singing my own English music . But it took me a while to actually do it . I never dreamt of singing for films . I guess it wasn ’ t in my upbringing to want to sing for films . But I ’ m grateful those opportunities came my way and I learnt a lot from them . They gave me and my musical life a lot of impetus .
But there ’ s an unparalleled feeling of accomplishment to write your own music . I ’ ve never felt it was enough to just sing well . I knew I had in me to write my own music . I needed to give it time . I didn ’ t have that time unless I took a break from other commitments like gigs and recordings . The 2020 Lockdown was a compulsory break . A welcome one for me .

Also , our consumption pattern is such
