While many grudge the rains and the puddles, this man's thrilled every time it's pouring outside. After all, the monsoons inspire him to pen his trademark romantic numbers.

And we all know what a romantic Adnan Sami is. These days the singer-composer is busy with an album that's due by the end of the year. He tells CS why he loves to love:

Lighting up
A Hitler would be incapable of writing a love song, just like an Olio Eglesius would be of calling war. The point being, romance always results in the creation of something beautiful. It is pretty apparent from my music that I am a die hard romantic. But I also have a funny side to myself think Lift Kara De or Kabhi Nahi. Humour is the best way of keeping your spirits high and staying sane.

'Press' on
Humour has seen me through many struggles in life. As clich ufffdd as it might sound, my life is an open book, like any other celebrity's it's been scrutinised and editorialised. But I've been in the business for way too long, to let bad press affect me. As long as my conscience is clear and my work is good, I don't have a problem being judged. I've become immune to it in many ways, but I do get upset when people dear to me are pulled into controversies. I've consciously chosen this career and I know that where there are roses, there will also be thorns. But my family and friends haven't done anything to deserve negative publicity.
