`I wanted to be a singer, so I wrote dummy lyrics for Dev.D' Amitabh Bhattacharya | 40 Lyricist, whose most recent work is Dangal

In 2007 when Amit Trivedi got an offer to compose music for two films Anurag Kashyap's Dev.D and and his assistant Rajkumar Gupta's Aamir he wanted me write the songs. But I wanted to be a singer, not a songwriter.Before coming to Mumbai in 1999, I used to belt out Kishore Kumar hits for a band called The Violent Orchestra in my hometown Lucknow. To im press music direc tors during those days of struggle, I had even prepared a demo CD of songs written, composed and crooned by me. But Amit, who was also a friend, kept persuading me. Finally , we came to this understanding that I would write “dummy“ lyrics for his tunes. Once the melody was approved, a regular songwriter would step in. The first song I wrote was Dev D's Yeh Duniya Badi Gol Hai. The number plays in the background when the protagonist is battling heartbreak. I listened to the tune on a Walkman and I remember having written it in a day! Anurag and everybody else loved my work.Till then, I had no idea that I was embarking on an entirely new career. Today barring the odd music buff, few can recollect that track.However, everybody remembers another number I wrote for the same film: Emotional atyachaar.
