Two beautiful songs I re-heard recently. The first is “Maeri” by “Euphoria”, whose lead singer is Palash Sen. Sen is a doctor who also sings, or it could be the other way around.

The second is a pretty old number, “Boondein” by “Silk Route”. Their lead singer is/was Mohit Chauhan, who has a pretty distinctive voice. “Silk Route” after their big debut, almost disappeared, and only recently have I heard one filmi song by Chauhan, for the film “Fashion” (2008). Although the group has now formally dissolved (what a pity !), Chauhan has been singing for recent Hindi films like “Welcome to Sajjanpur”, etc. also. Boondein was probably their best song :
