back from a break. I'm Maya.

You're listening to 'World of

Music' on 98.3 Radio Mirchi.

You just heard 'Bhindeshi

Tara' by Chandrabindoo...

...and Sudhin

Dasgupta's 'Kathay Kathay'...

...in Manna Dey's voice.

Our last song today, Salil

Choudhury's composition,

...lyrics by Sukanto,

sung by Hemant Kumar... -

- Boss is calling you.

...'Abak Prithibi'.

Enjoy!

Please,

concentrate on your studies

instead of thinking of Maya.

Don't forget this is

your dissertation year.

Thought of a topic?

No.

Think I'll go to the library

after the music class tomorrow.

Let's see...

...I'll figure out something.

It has to do with music.

And knowing you,

Bengali music.

Adios Amigo.

Born in the suburbs, now

resides in upmarket Kolkata.

Bengali roots; forgotten. Speaks English

with pride. Bikram Botobyal aka Vicky.

The reports are out,

not happening man.

Just not happening.

What is not happening and from

which angle do I appear to be a man?

Cut it out, Maya.

You're articulate, you've

a nice texture,

so I offered you Coffee house

Classics at prime time, you refused.

You said you want to play

Bengali songs. I said, fine.

I said change your name,

you threw tantrums there too.

Of course! What was the

problem with the name, 'Mahamaya'?

As in?

RJ Mahamaya?

Are you kidding me?

It sounds so... so... -

- Bengali, and you have

a problem with that?

Maya, now don't start all over

again with your Language Movement.

The ratings are dropping man.

See, I am cool with remixed

Rabindrasangeet and Bangla Band.

We can have a separate slot

for that because they sell.

But these drab songs

that you play from 50s... -

- Not selling, isn't it?

You're mixing up the TG.

Ratings are dropping.

Listen Mr. Vicky aka Bikram,

my target group is...

...the population that likes

listening to all kinds of Bengali songs.

They may be few in number but

they're increasing and realizing...

...that there is Bengali music

beyond Rabindrasangeet and bands.

Yes but... -

- No, there can be no 'but', Sir.

Along with Rabindrasangeet

and band music I play...

...Sudhin Dasgupta and

Salil Choudhury too.

In order to love Bengali

music one must listen to...

...Mohiner Ghoraguli

and Ramprasad likewise.

Because both Nachiketa Chakrabarty and

Nachiekta Ghosh have written about me.

Because both

Anjan Dutta and Mukul Dutta...

...have written their

songs in my language.

Because Apupam Roy, Anupam Ghatak,

Rupam Islam, Nazrul Islam, all are mine.

Bye.

How have you been!

How have you been?

You've shaved!

And how're you?

Had to do away with the

intellectual stubble for my job.

Okay... this one's yours.

Give me.

And...

...wait a second...
