I liked what he said below. Film industry takes people to heights and pits in no time.
"I junked any venom that might be inside me against filmmakers and actors for whom I had given so many hits but had dropped me, and I decided not to go into depression or give up, for that can really eat your insides! I had read stories of legendary composers like C. Ramachandra, Jai (Jaikishan) uncle, R.D. Burman and Laxmi-ji (Laxmikant) and great poets who had died horrific deaths after similar things had happened to them. I think that my education and my wife both saved me, and it hit me - one day - that my contemporaries were no longer around, and I was about to step into that zone myself! That was the day I decided to get back to my harmonium and keep making music, even when I had no work!"
