A collection of eight poems all immersed in music by composer Mayuresh Pai, his poems have been rendered by some of the best Bollywood singers like Kailash Kher, Shankar Mahadevan, Suresh Wadkar, Sunidhi Chauhan, Kunal Ganjawala and the likes. But the USP according to Thackeray lies in the fact that despite being a musical album all the listeners get is sheer poetry. "It is still open to interpretation and personal understanding," he says. One of the numbers, Halke Halke… is the only one that was composed first and then written. "Pai had a composition, to which I attached words. It has a 70s feel to it," he says.

"See I am a poet and I prefer to stay in my own world. And the fact is that when you are write poetry, most of your time goes in a trance," he says. Presently finishing his twelfth standard Thackeray is not at all nervous about his present venture. Besides the family's support, it's his overwhelming excitement that's giving him a high. "I think my happiness is overpowering my nervousness," he says.
