An excerpt of Manab's rendition of one of Hemanta's most poignant songs. Wish I had better equipment with me that evening. A PDA hardly does justice to capturing both audio and moving images. Once again, the track is his own (i.e., made by him).

One of my closest friends from college, in a causal get-together at his home. I so wish he took up singing professionally. The track in the background was put together by him as well. I recorded this in January 2003, I think, on a SONY Clié PDA. Hence, the abysmal quality of the images and sound.

This time Shyamal takes the mic, while Manab is on the keyboard (faking it, I think). However, the track was done by him entirely at an earlier time. It looks to me like Amit is walking around in the background, looking for a chance to grab the mic.
