Soldiers croon 'Teri Mitti' in bus, Manoj Muntashir exults, 'I've nothing more to achieve'

Manoj Muntashir had an emotional reaction after he was ignored at a leading awards function earlier this year. However, the support that the lyricist received in the aftermath of the controversy was just a testament of the impact that his song Teri Mitti has created. The biggest proof of this has been how the song has inspired the soldiers of the country.

The lyricist took to Twitter to share the video where a group of soldiers were energetically singing the Kesari song during their bus journey. Manoj tweeted the lyrics of Lata Mangeshkar's iconic Aapki Nazaron Ne Samjha song, ‘Dil ki ye dhadkan theher ja, mil gayi manzil mujhe (I’ve reached my destination, heart, stop beating). He added that his words had reached the lips of soldiers and that there was nothing more for him to achieve.
