Vivek Kaul wrote on his Facebook wall: There used to be a Sushasan Babu (one of the several names Bihar CM Nitish Kumar goes by). Reliable sources have revealed that a ghazal by Bashir Badr had have great influence on his life. Some couplets of the ghazal go like this:
Musafir ke raste badalte rahe
Muqaddar mein chalna tha chalte rahe
The traveller kept changing his pathways
He was destined to travel, he kept travelling
Mohabbat, adavat, wafa, berukhi
Kiraye ke ghar they badalte rahey
Love, animosity, loyality, apathy
These were rented houses, he kept changing
