My Dad died during the flu epidemic in 1918 when I was 4 years old. He left a lot of classical recordings behind that I began listening to at an early age, so he must have been a music lover.

I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff.

From an early age, I was infatuated with music. I always loved it and was always dancing or playing something.

When I listen to music today, it is about 99 percent classical. I rarely even listen to folk music, the music of my own specialty, because folk music is to me more limited than classical music.

At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music.

But I'm also a music lover, and I'll always try a lot of different things.
