As I sat beneath this tree today, I was transported back to childhood and the world of Enid Blyton.🥰🥰

Looking at the little hollow in the trunk, I half expected a goblin or fairy to emerge from it.

Then another thought came to me. This tree too must have had a childhood. Once, it was a tiny sapling, discovering the world around it just as I was discovering mine through books and imagination.

Today, we admire its strength and grandeur, but its real story lies beneath the surface. Its roots, unseen and unnoticed, are what have sustained it through countless seasons.

Life is much the same. People see the branches and the achievements, but it is our roots that keep us standing.

Reliving some beautiful memories from 2018 when I had the privilege of hosting Bollywood legend Zeenat Aman in Durban, South Africa, for my show 'Heart to Heart with Zeenat Aman' produced by Urja Music.
Even today, some people find it hard to believe that I brought this iconic star to Durban. Looking back at these photographs fills my heart with gratitude and joy.
What touched me most was not only her fame and her incredible achievements, but her warmth, humility and compassion. From the moment we met, she made me feel completely at ease. There was no air of stardom, no distance, just kindness, encouragement and genuine affection.
In many ways, it felt as though I had brought my own sister to Durban. She was so approachable, so supportive, and so generous with her time and words. Behind the glamorous screen presence is a woman of remarkable grace and humanity.
Thank you, Zeenat ji, for these treasured memories and for reminding us that true greatness lies not only in success, but in how we make others feel.

After a fruitful and inspiring two months in South Africa, I am now back in India with a heart full of gratitude and many exciting plans for the future.

This trip gave me so much insight into what is needed for growth in music, especially when it comes to teaching Indian music and voice culture in S.Africa.

For the first time in all these years, I opened my doors to South African students eager to learn voice culture and Indian music, and that is a truly rewarding experience.

Another highlight was being selected by SAMRO for a bursary to study the Music Publishing Programme conducted by the Music Business Lab (MBL) certified by Univ. of Pretoria. As a self-publisher for my label, Urja Music, this was an invaluable opportunity. I am proud to have been one of only 50 participants selected for the programme and to have graduated last Friday at Warner Music South Africa.

Winning the Hindi Essay Writing Competition organised by the Indian High Commission in Johannesburg was another special moment. It reminded me of the tremendous value my parents saw in learning Hindi and how lovingly they encouraged me from a young age. In fact, my essay was based on that very journey. Perhaps I should share it with all of you here as well.

I have never been one to speak much about my achievements. I have always preferred to stay focused on my work, quietly doing my bit while offering gratitude to my parents and, of course, to the Lord. Yet, during this trip, I realised that by doing so, I may also have overlooked sharing milestones that could inspire others or simply allow friends to be part of my journey.

This year marks 50 years since the late Kishore Kumar invited me to be part of his concert at Durban City Hall. It also marks 40 years since the release of my very first album of original songs, Sneha, recorded in Bombay and released on audio cassette.
And then I thought... why wait for a 50th anniversary celebration? Let us start celebrating now!

Over the coming weeks, I will be sharing memories, stories, photographs, music and reflections from this beautiful journey. Some will appear here, and some on my YouTube channel and facebook as well.

A special memory from my musical journey.

In 2013, I had the privilege of being featured on the album Woh Sapan Tumhi Toh Thay alongside renowned singers Shaan, Javed Ali, Roop Kumar Rathod, Sadhana Sargam and Vinod Rathod.

I also had the honour of singing Tere Dil Ka Dard with Vinod Rathod.

As a South African artist pursuing music in India, moments like these remain close to my heart.

Which of these singers has inspired you most?

One of my best interviews on radio with Varshan Sookhun. We spoke about the journey of my new song Maa, the celebration of 50 years since Kishore Kumar yes THE legendary Kishoreda put me on stage at Durban City Hall.

The Journey of a Song… “Maa” ✨
At Urja Music, my deepest passion has always been the creation of original music, songs born not from trends, but from emotion, experience and soul.
Two photographs take us back to 2018, when the journey of my composition Maa first began in Durban. I composed the melody to a beautiful poem by , and worked on the musical arrangement myself. During that time, I reached out to Rajive Mohan of House of Audio, who immediately connected with the song and enthusiastically began programming it with me.
But life moved quickly, and before we could complete the project, I had to leave South Africa.
The song remained safely stored away on my hard disk… waiting for the right moment to be born.

Earlier this year, while speaking to acclaimed Bollywood composer Sandesh Shandilya, known for unforgettable melodies like Suraj Hua Maddham and Aaoge Jab Tum , I played him Maa.
His immediate response was:
“This is a hit song.”
Those words reignited something within me.

As destiny would have it, I was once again in South Africa this April. I reopened the old project, contacted Rajive again, and said:
“We have to complete this song. Mother’s Day is coming… and Maa is waiting to be heard.”

Two photographs were taken last month in April 2026, and beautifully mirror the photographs from 2018 — the same creative spirit, the same musical bond, but now with time, growth and deeper emotion woven into the journey.
Some songs are not merely composed.
They wait patiently for the right time to arrive.
And now… Maa is finally ready to speak from the heart. ❤️

I had the blessing of singing at the Shree Gopal Hindu Temple in Verulam, Durban, South Africa… and it felt like singing into history itself 🙏
Built in 1888 by Indian indentured labourers working on the Mount Edgecombe Sugar Estate, this temple stands as a powerful symbol of resilience, faith, and cultural preservation.
In those early days, our forefathers gathered on the banks of the uMdloti River—building simple shrines from reeds and mud, singing, praying, and holding onto their traditions in a foreign land. Even when floods washed everything away, they rebuilt… stronger.
The temple later found its home in Temple Valley through land donated by Babu Talwant Singh, and grew into a sacred space for the community.
What makes it even more special is that Mahatma Gandhi himself visited Durban during that time and officially opened the temple hall in 1913—making this space part of a much larger historical journey.
As a South African artist of Indian origin, offering my voice in bhajan… felt deeply personal.
Because this was never just a performance.
It was a continuation of something that began long before us. ✨

A few years ago I was at a senior citizen home in Pretoria. Uncle Rafiq, a stroke patient sat at the breakfast table very quiet as part of his daily routine started. Next the caregiver wheeled him out onto the verandah where she said he loves the sunshine. I felt the urge to just hug him, sing for him and make him connect through music. So with permission I sang and you can see how he recalled the song and tried to follow as well. Very often we can just give a few minutes to share some love with someone. Just do it. I did not want Uncle Rafiq to just have another routine day. Through music I brought sunshine into his life. And yes he brought more sunshine into mine.

Ha ha this morning at my window. The crows look like music notes on a Western music staff!
So beatiful as the window grills became the staff, the crows the notes and nature quietly wrote its own music.

यह गीत मैंने भारत के गणतंत्र दिवस के अवसर पर भारतीय सेना को एक टीवी कार्यक्रम में देखकर लिखा। कुछ दृश्य इतने भावुक कर देने वाले थे कि मेरे मन में एक प्रश्न उठा....जब एक सैनिक लंबे समय बाद घर लौटता है, तब उसकी पत्नी के मन में क्या चल रहा होगा?
मैंने एक शांत सुबह की कल्पना की।
वह अभी सो रहे हैं।
और वह जाग चुकी है, दिन की तैयारी करते हुए, मन ही मन गुनगुना रही है।
उस खामोशी में एक सुकून है।
एक सुरक्षा का भाव है।
एक गहरी कृतज्ञता है।
वे हमारे देश की सुरक्षा करते हैं,
लेकिन घर की नींव उसकी त्याग से बनी होती है।
यह गीत उसी नारी के मन की आवाज़ है....
उसकी शांति,
उसकी शक्ति,
और उसके भीतर का सुरक्षित होने का एहसास।
सुनिए…
उसके मन की सुरक्षा की भावना।

I wrote this song after watching the Indian Army in a television programme celebrating India’s Republic Day. Some of the moments were so deeply touching that a thought arose within me, what must a soldier’s wife feel when her husband is finally back home?
I imagined a quiet morning.
He is still asleep.
She is awake, getting ready for the day and singing softly within herself.
In that silence, there is relief.
There is security.
There is gratitude.
While they stand at the borders as the nation’s protectors, it is her unseen sacrifice that holds the home together. This song listens to her heart, her feeling of safety, her silent strength, and her deep inner peace.
