We played an awesome concert after the Bauliana book launch programme and although our set was limited to 6 songs due to the audtoriums time restriction, we performed brilliantly. Emotions are writ large on my face.

mA'AREFOTER pOTAKA Cover Pix
There was a lot of confusion on the portrait that should go into the cover of mA'AREFOTER pOTAKA. Initially it was the pix on the top by Gorky that was selected, which I thought was a much friendlier version of myself, but once we got the prints from Chanchal below, there was to be no dispute on our selection anymore. We finally got the mA'AREFOT buzz that we wanted!
Some great portraits by Gorky
All the photographs were captured by Gorky inside and near the SoundGarden Studio in Mughbazar, Dhaka
