The song came to me in a most wonderful way. I was testing my clarinet one day rather casually. I began to play. And automatically a melody emerged. As I played the clarinet I thought to myself: 'I will never remember the tune.' So I asked Savitri to tape it then and there. I played the melody and the whole thing was taped.
Even more astonishing was the fact that while I was playing the melody, with the melody slowly the words started coming too. And so with the melody I began writing the lyrics as well. And like this I managed to compose both the songs ('Pledge Renewed' & 'Comradeship'). First there was the melody and then came the lyrics.
