The little one whom I have seen as any other boy pursuing Indian Classical Music later surprised me. I was watching the TV casually. Suddenly I became very alert and found a young man singing Raag Marwa. I never expected such Gayki and tonal quality from an unknown singer. He presented the Alaap in Vilambit. I heard the entire presentation silently.His gayaki, taans , layakiri etc simply hyptonized me. His range of voice too was unthinkable. Immediately my sense said that a New and a Remarkable Artist is born!  Sorry to learn about his  demise at such an early age. RIP.

He related his urgency and took his horse. He tied all the foods in the saddle and rode away.In this way he only used one HP instead 14/20Hp to complete his job. People around took his photo: After all one doesn't see a delivery man using a horse for such purpose every day!                                 Author Saibal Kumar Deb
