Amitabh Bhattacharya, in his own space

Like all artistes, lyricist-singer Amitabh Bhattacharya is also a moody person. He tells us, "I live alone in Mumbai.

The fact is I like to stay in a quiet environment, which is not always possible when you are living with a family. I hate any kind of noise in the mornings - that's the period when I like to listen and just brood.

The sound of TV or even utensils irritates me to the core. I appreciate a sense of space and that's why I get termed as a loner." In his free time, he likes to travel to get away from the madness of the city.

"If I have two-three days off, I just head to Goa, which is the best place to just chill and relax," says he.
