- Is that a conscious decision? My HR asked me before I quit my job at my first company.
- There is only one Yesudas, only one Jagjit singh, are you sure about this decision?
- I soon realised that the accolades and rewards that I received at my school and college were not enough.
- After a milestone, you still need to work.
- Believe in what you want to do. Too much analysis may not help. Just prototype.
- My teacher said, “Your voice is not good”. I felt my voice is good and kept singing.
- Being a good musician is different from being a popular musician is different from being a rich musician.
- It is always better to get feedback early in life.
- Daring your dream is like an adventure – if you are experimental, go ahead.
- You cannot always plan everything, just jump into it. If you are really dedicated, you will figure it out.
