To know Moosewala, one has to know his songs. The visceral lyrics are honest and hide nothing. Through them, the singer, shy as he was in real life, expressed himself. “I write my songs based on my experiences. When I sing a song in a live programme like this, there is a reel playing in my mind about the time or the circumstances when I wrote those particular lines. Like, I just sang Legend and you think about something while hearing it but in my mind, the reel of the time when I wrote and composed it plays in the background,” said Sidhu Moosewala on 31 January 2020, while performing at the annual Basant Mela at Baoli Baba Bhandari ji in the Hoshiarpur district of Punjab. Set in the foothills of the Dhauladhar range of the great Himalayas, it is one of the most notable traditional melas in Punjab.
