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).

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.

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.
