Noted journalist Chaitanya Padukone, who shared a close bond with legendary music director R D Burman, has authored a book "R.D. BurMania -Panchamemoirs" which depicts the journey of the late musician.

Tomorrow is the birth anniversary of Burman, popularly known as Pancham Da'.

The author-film journalist began his career with an interview of Burman, after the latter won his first Filmfare award.

"Creativity cannot exist in a vacuum (and) you need to be inspired by almost every sound that you hear, the bizarre the better," Burman had told Padukone in the interview during one of his song-recording session.

The book "R.D. BurMania -Panchamemoirs" attempts to string together amazing, amusing and agonising yet fascinating anecdotes, incidents and idiosyncrasies while unravelling the mystique behind Bollywood's most adored composer.
