Sonu Nigam

Born to a singer family,  he had acted in movies as kid, studied in Delhi wanted to be a scientist, ended up becoming singer. Love physics.  

18 film fair nomination, got 2 and one national award. 2004 realised the value. 

Consider self has a 15 rupee valued, as that is what he got as a beggar, when he enacted. It is because of others he get what he is getting now. 

He is famous for his hairstyle - so much so that when we went to get the national award - his hairstyle and President Abdul Kalam had same hairstyle - he told him same to same, and President said copyright. 

Others can put food into our mouth, we need to chew it. We need to keep chewing. Stand up in front of others. Face insult. 

Stood for 7 hours. You need to wait, be prepared. Keep your sword sharp. When the door opens, rush in. Walk with your head now. Why are you so proud? Be grounded. You need not be street smart and manipulative. 

You need talent and skill.  Sharpen it and become the magnet. Become a better human being. People of good intention is successful. 

You need to have honesty and surrender. Be inspired and not jealous. You need to see God in everyone.  

Music is a state of Being. 

A journey from zero to zero. Infinity starts from zero and goes to zero. 

An amalgam of Sur and Thal - Tune and Beat. Both are same. 

Does not exist in the physical world, but in the quantum world. 

My music and being stems from knowing that the story going on here is different, what you understand is something different. 

I practice because I want to do. 

Still pursuing the gifts, respect your talent. Amitabh Bachan, Aishwarya Rai. 

Everything will not happen. 

Discipline. 

We should walk with our head down. 

Aham Brahmasmi!

Initially it takes time to set up, but then it is joy. 

God lies in detailing. 

Sudh Sarang - mountain - morning. 

Kids learn fast when young. When adult effort needed will be more. But can do. 

Bhatkande book of music. 

The core of music is Nada tune. 

Bass Music. 

Emotional Rote - have effect in our activity. 

Any human cannot claim to be original, we get something and add our ingredients and create recipe. 

Listen, don't judge. Learn. All are our teacher. Bow your head. 

Listen! Listen! Listen!

Dont be proud.

Learn, Learn, Learn. 

Actually I am God. You are God. 

Satisfied and quenced now, then hungry - That person is not the one today. 

Transition point was Kal Ho Na Ho. 

Art has nothing to do with wisdom. 

I wanted to detangle my life of anger, envy, all of us will have this until we die. 

God lives in work. 

We don't visualise, when we sing, we die. We merge in our work. Singer become the song and the song becomes the singer.  I don't think. 

The work gives happiness is great, but if it brings tears of joy, nothing like that. 

It happens with time. Not age. I have handed myself to the nature 

I will not swim, I will flow. I will take nature take me. I don't wat to fight. 

Ultimately it would take me to the sea. Don't fight.

Bitter Betryals - Acha Sela Diya

Pop Music entered film music. 

Today singer's have a cult. 

Respect the art - Rap - they say in your language. 

Rap took over rock. 

This has happened to Gazal, Quawwali. Quawwali has become Sufi. 

Sufi is a state of being. 

Music keep transcending, It will reappear. 

Trans music - will take over rock. 

It's just the destiny. When some person's time is right - we like everything about them. 

Being at the right time at the right place is luck. 

Ethereal Thoughts. 

Evolving without Manifesting is not right. 

Important to know and learn, what not to do. It is also equally important. 

Everyone has their journey, let them travell. Do not give gyan, you will become gyando. First become a student. 

What is right for me, may not be right for you. 

We need blessings from all - especially from Youngsters. 

Three people had tried to put him down, Shiv Sena - Smita, T-Series, and Salman Khan. 

Equilibrium. On stage - it is litmus test. AI nothing to worry. When God closes one door, he opens another. 

Master over a craft. 

Drake - outsider - outsourcing. It happens everywhere. Automation of personal branding. 

Sambki apni journey hey journey do. 

Radar and Antenna has to be up. You can learn everything from the darkness of your home. 

Have Fun! where you are.

Thank you Sir, for being an inspiration for your songs.
