nI rarely get a chance to listen to music at home as most of the days pass by in a blur of activity. Also, it?s not always possible to listen to music early in the morning or late at night. That?s why whenever I?m in the car, moving from one appointment to another, I always ensure that my car stereo is turned up loud.

What?s my kind of music? Well, I?m a die-hard Harry Belafonte fan, and have most of his albums crammed into the glove compartment of my Indica V2. I also listen to quite a bit of Rabindrasangeet and Debabrato Biswas is one of my favourite Rabindrasangeet singers. Given that I like fast-paced and peppy music while in the car, I also lean towards the music of the Bangla bands. Currently I have Chandrabindoo?s album in my car as also that of Dohar?s, a very talented folk band.

And of course, if and when I tire of the CDs in the car, I always switch on and listen to good old FM.
