There is a lot of pressure, it's stressful, there is a continuous fight. But it is exciting too," Manish told PTI.
	"It's been 11 years to my label, but I still feel like a newcomer every day. The anxiety to keep the label alive and kicking is a major motivation. I can't take things for granted. I feel when you can't afford to take life for granted, you can't take your work for granted."
