Shankar was entirely dedicated for musical innovations during his whole life; it was his diwanapan. He created diverse tunes and musical edifices beyond human imagination during his career spanning from 1949 to 1987.
Shankar's music has a zing that makes the listener shiver with divine thrill. His music is mostly filled with strange patterns and is difficult to copy without being identified. Some example tunes ascribed to Shankar are Awara Hoon, Yahoo! Koi Mujhe Junglee Kahe, Tera Jana, etc.
Shankar used to give importance to all aspects of a song - its tune, prelude, interludes and entire orchestra accompanying the song. He used to emphasise on the deployment of particular instruments and the way it is done.
Shankar's day used to start early in the morning and to continue until midnight. He is known to create tunes for a song instantly and is regarded as the fastest composer until today.
