MUMBAI: Bollywood’s most creative lyricist Sameer Anjaan who has entered the coveted Guinness World Records for composing the most number of Hindi film songs, recently visited Whistling Woods International to share his knowledge on the ‘Art of Songwriting’ and it couldn’t be better.

The mellow tuneful music of 90’s soothed the ears of 400 odd students at the Whistling Woods International (WWI) auditorium filled with 400 odd students on 1 September 2016.

An artist, with a soulful lyrical background and a Guinness World Record holder for his compositions of over 4000 songs and work in more than 650 movies in his career. Sameer was full of insights and inputs at the 5th Veda session at WWI; as he wanted to reveal his experiences of building a successful career in the stream of poetry and writing lyrics.

While talking about his journey and experience, Sameer said before becoming the lyrical legend in Bollywood, he was a plain Commerce postgraduate and got his first break with movie ‘Dil’.

During the enlightening session, he also shared his secret mantra of success in Indian cinema with the students and said: “Veerangi, Deewangi, and Aawargi are a must for any creative person.” Moderated by WWI Chairman and Founder Subhash Ghai, the audience experienced some on-spot composition by Sameer as his contribution to Whistling Woods.

The highlight of the event included lines written by Sameer: “Jaha se bandh hote hai saare raaste, wahi se naya rasta nikalta hai (2), Jinko samjhate hai hum ajnabee, aksar unhi se koi waasta nikalta hai”. He mentioned about his love for students and was honoured to be a part of the 5th Veda session, where he got a chance to speak to the budding songwriters/lyricists.

He also advised the students that during the struggling period, there is no word as ‘NO’, one cannot say a no to any kind of work received in the initial days of your career; one has to agree and accept all the challenges that come their way in life.
