Sneha Khanwalkar likes life to happen to her - to doodle, travel, fall in love and get her heart broken - when she is not making music.

The avant garde composer does not believe in "working too hard and earning too much money".

When asked how she navigates work, Khanwalkar told PTI in an interview, "I've not been careful about what I do. I've been doing other things in life like learning to doodle, travelling, falling in love, getting my heart broken.

"I just feel you don't have to keep on working hard and earn too much money, I think you can just earn the amount you need. I'm part moody and part responsible. That is what inspires me. It makes me more eased out about life in general."
"So when I started, I knew a little bit of music. I felt like I could play with it. I could be a part of films."
"Nandita and I used to sit and read the poetry together working out songs for the film. It was really nice. I felt I learnt something new."
"If I feel that I need an amateur piano player for a song then I don't call an expert. I won't hire a supremely amazing piano player and ask him to dumb down."
"I know I'm seen as an independent, experimental, slightly rebellious composer, but why am I first viewed as a female? (It's strange) as I wouldn't even know what it is like to be a man."
