Mithoon is a total music composer. He can sing, he can play instruments and he writes lyrics as well. Out there in the West, this multi-talented lad would have been whamming out as an independent solo artiste or banging heads with his bros in a band, making the crowd run wild in a concert. In India, barring a few exceptions, most talented musicians take the Bollywood route to fame. It’s a crowded highway, perpetually jammed, where emotions run riot and fellow commuters happily run you over in order to cut lanes and jump ahead. But if you don’t mind the bumps and the road rage, you do get richly rewarded for your persistence. Mithoon, who has completed 15 years in the industry has been enjoying the journey. He asserts he believes in living in the moment. According to him, everything is a phase. One goes through different phases which help one grow. At the same time, he cautions that knowledge without application doesn’t tantamount to anything. “I learnt something about myself during my lean phase and used it to make myself better. What I’m saying is that learn to enjoy the moment but keep moving forward. That’s the key to happiness.”
