On The Wings Of Music

Once, in a school in Delhi, there was a young boy who loved nothing more than making music and dreamed of sharing his music with the world. One day, that dream became a reality.
From a childhood spent strumming away at a guitar in Delhi to professional success as a music composer in Mumbai, Shantanu Moitra has come a long way. Here, he gives us a glimpse into his world and the moments that have made him who he is. From his early days as a client servicing drone in an advertising agency to his collaborations with prominent musicians and film-makers, to the making of Parineeta, his greatest hit and from his all-consuming love for astronomy to near-death escapades in the Himalayas, he shares the most intimate parts of himself through his phenomenal adventures in this compelling memoir.
Written in a delightfully autobiographical vein this little book is a collection of stories, reminiscences, anecdotes and self revelations. Embellished by notations and photographs these twenty-odd pen and paper vignettes chart the growth of a timid, diffident, selfeffacing boy into a music composer of international repute. An evocative memoir by one of India's most prominent composers.
