"My son and I playing together on the same platform is the most significant achievement, I believe. For a father that was one of the biggest goose bump moments of my life.

I am mostly a self- taught guitarist, I chose my own learning path

Since music is my profession. I'm not doing music for it's a fashionable thing to do. This is my only living. So maybe I had to sing some songs that I didn't like at all. I sometimes regret it and think that I could've avoided doing those 4-5 songs. Other than those, all my songs are like my children- those that I composed, LRB songs, Aiyub Bachchu solo album songs, these are my favourite songs- all of them.

This song(shei tumi) has a background that I'll never reveal; ever... It is everyone's story, not only mine. Listeners from both East and West Bengal- all love this song. They have the lyrics memorised and they sing it for their partners, their loved ones. Maybe I sang this for someone I loved. Let the rest of the story remain a secret."
