I am thinking of leaving the country

'Dude, we work here but we don't get enough compensation and we have to do bandage. I am thinking of going abroad like Zubin Mehta ', one day Pyarelal Sharma told Laxmikant.

Both were about thirteen or fourteen years old when this happened. Film composers were giving him enough work. But Best's bus, a crowded Mumbai local train, had to run from one studio to another with his instrument. Pyarelal was fed up. It was his ambition to go abroad and try his luck in the Western notation system. Pyarelal was fascinated by the achievements of his friend Zubin Mehta abroad.

Laxmikant patiently explained that dear, we have talent, willingness to work hard. If not today then tomorrow, luck will accompany us here. Leave home. Our destiny is here to bear fruit. Be patient for a while. Lataji is with us. When Laxmikant got the chance, she talked to Lataji. Lata also started trying to give both of them a chance as independent musicians.

- Ajay Poundrik, an Indian mechanical engineer from Nigeria, became interested in Laxmikant Pyarelal's music and after five or seven years of research, published a powerful book about Laxmikant Pyarelal.

Rasik, who lives abroad, became interested

Indians living abroad are regularly listening to memorable songs of Hindi films for business reasons. Someone likes the lyrics, someone likes the music. If there is a lyricist who is considered by a rasik, then there is a musician who is considered by someone. One in a million people would be interested in writing something about a musician. One such Indian mechanical engineer was working in a high position in Nigeria. His name is Ajay Pondrick who wrote this book. He became interested in Laxmikant Pyarelal's music. When he returned home after retiring, he started researching about his favorite musician. After five or seven years of research, Laxmikant published a powerful book about Pyarelal. It is about seven hundred pages, ten by twelve inches in size. For his work, he kept in touch with the duo's surviving musician Pyarelal and kept getting the information he needed as well as missing information.
