Childhood Dream
My dream was never limited to one profession. Starting from police officer to a dacoit--everything was in my list.

Most Significant Achievement
To be able to teach the complicated and scientific method of voice culture for singing.

Qualities you need for being a Singer
You need to have the natural skill of singing in tune, not out of tune; you need to love music and have the mindset of working hard for music.

A Dream Yet to be Fulfilled
My biggest dream is to learn to sing better. Moreover, I would love to see more trained singers in our music scene. Also, I want to spread Nazrul's philosophy, ideals and music all over the country.
