I had a dream Abhijeet Sawant comes out with his autobiography |
AN IDOL FOR MANY Abhijeet Sawant, now an author Photo: Anu Pushkarna Carl Jung has very well said this - Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. We all are dreamers but most of us forget it by the next morning but there are very few who dream and start desperately working towards turning it into a reality. Indian Idol Abhijeet Sawant feels, he is one such dreamer. Having tried his luck at the Sony TV's hunt for singers from a middle-class Mulund colony in Mumbai, Abhijeet says, surely, it is a dream come true for him to win the Indian Idol title and along with it, a good foothold in music industry. He has not only come out with his solo album but has recently come up with his autobiography, 'Aapka Abhijeet'. The book, a Popular Prakashan publication, encompasses Abhijeet's journey from the streets of Mulund to the stage of fame. The shy guy, at Crossword, Galaxy Towers near Delhi-Jaipur highway, is very much excited about his book and has dedicated the tome to the masses that had heard, voted and supported him. "I want to dedicate my book to all of them who had voted for me and accepted me as their Indian Idol and still admire me and give their love," says Abhijeet. The book has photographs and write-ups written by Abhijeet about his experiences in his musical journey called 'Life'. He says, "the book would inspire our Generation Next to be determined and focussed. Also, it teaches a lesson that, it doesn't matter where you come from and in what condition, but the thing that matter most is, how desperately you want something from your life."
With Sonu and Shah Rukh On being asked whether his dream ends at winning the Indian idol crown, Abhijeet says, "I want to sing with Sonu Nigam and also I want to perform with Shah Rukh Khan again." Abhijeet's book has been launched in Mumbai before Delhi and is now available at bookstores in English, Hindi and his mother tongue, Marathi.
