Now, she has secured a place in the India Book of Records for writing songs on traffic rules awareness, in the memory of her son.

“After losing my son, I tried to write down whatever feelings came to me. I thought I would give expressions to my feelings. If something bad happens to us, we think God has done injustice to us. But, we human beings can’t understand God's plan. Our faith in Him shows a new path,’ said Sujata.
