“All perfect praises belong to the Almighty alone. I dedicate ‘Vande Mataram’ to the future generations of India. I wish that this album inspires them to grow up with the wealth of Human values and ethics that this country is made of. I wish that the youth of today would wipe out phrases like ‘Chaltha Hai’ from their vocabularies and find themselves motivated Human beings.”
