Pitch for a biography project for Jagjit Singhji

By Shub on January 12, 2011 7 Comments / 1668 views

Am a Bangalore-based writer, now in US on a book-project. Looking forward to get in touch with Jagjit Singhji – the ghazal maestro. I would want to write his biography. I have been trying for the last almost 9 months to get in touch with him to be able to pitch in my proposal, but haven’t been able to. Got in touch with some PR firms, but they could not help, too. Do you know somebody who can help me meet Jagjit Singh ji so that I can pitch in my proposal?

ROFL ! Is this a topic for gossip? Amazing!

Sorry Shub, I don’t want to appear mean or something but couldn’t help myself. Let us know if you be successful in contacting him. Best of Luck,

Hi Alok –

Thanks to you – on Facebook, due to your recommendation, your friend Subhash has helped me a lot. Till now, the progress is that I have been able to talk to Jagjit Singhji’s secretary and he has assured all help from his side. I am planning to come down to India (and Mumbai) in March, and if things go as per plan, I might be able to meet them face-to-face for the pitch. In the meantime, am also doing some deep-dive research to see what other value additions I can make to this project. As of now, things seem very positive.

Will keep you and the Rodinhoods updated of any further progress.

Thanks really for all your help again! I owe you a big one in this life, buddy! 🙂

Regards,

Shub
