New Delhi: We knew about Minister of Communications and Information Technology Kapil Sibal's penchant for writing poetry, but what we didn't know was that he is a romantic at heart until we came across his confession in an interview to Mumbai Mirror.
The senior Congress leader revealed that he is collaborating with music maestro A R Rahman in Raunaq - a music album with seven songs composed by A R Rahman and written by Mr Sibal.
The Minister disclosed that the songs are a reflection of the current social scenario in our country as well as his personal experiences. "When one writes, his surroundings often end up becoming important participants in the activity. I've found that expression through my poetry and the result is beautiful," he said.
Mr Sibal was all praises for the Mozart of Madras and called him a genius. "I felt my words had found their soul in his tunes. His tone and texture is free of any extravaganza. He creates music, not items. When I wrote these songs, I wanted them in the hands of someone who had consistency of thought and I think Rahman's music has that."
Mr Sibal also disclosed that he had been writing songs for the past year-and-a-half to 'explore his romantic side.'
Despite his responsibilities as a minister, Kapil Sibal also took up an offer from actor-director Aditya Om for the film Bandook last year and wrote four songs, one of which made it into the movie. He already has two collections of poetry under his belt and has linked poems to politics in the past.
