I love the voice - it’s the most perfect instrument ever heard. It’s God given.

Music is something that takes you to a world which is very different from the world of hatred,jealousy, and all those negative emotions

I didn't see it coming at all. I just wanted to have this new experience with this team of Danny Boyle, Christian (Colson) and Simon (Beaufoy). It was like an excursion for me from my normal routine and the Indian movies I do and that helped.

I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.

It's a very simple process. He [Danny Boyl] comes in the tube (subway) and then he sits with me for 3 hours every evening and then I work on something. Then later, if he likes something, I put it even more perfectly. I tweak stuff. So this happened for 3 or 4 weeks and the music was done.

Certain things are done intentionally opposite - like there's no sound at the end or synthesizers or all that stuff. Anything that drowns the movie, no. Anything that makes you sit up and watch it, yes. So, some are expecting a very sad theme going on.

The idea of music is to liberate the listener and lead him to a frame where he feels he is elevated.
