In their first interview together after the big fight, Soumitra and Surojit tell us why Bhoomi can never break upIt���s been two years since Soumitra wanted a month���s leave during the peak show season, leading to a rift with bandmate Surojit that almost threatened to tear apart Bhoomi. But they say, in showbiz, the only thing permanent is change. Just before leaving for Canada, where Surojit will be staying for a month, we had the Bhoomi vocalists coming together for their first chat after the big fight. Excerpts:
There���s Bhoomi, with the two of you together. Then there���s Surojit O Bondhura and Robi O Nobin, your individual outfits. How are you managing?Bhoomi
Surojit: Managing one band this way and another that way was never planned. But then, we live one life. We have to keep experimenting with music. If Soumitra wants to enjoy a new kind of music, I���m not going to stop him. It���s his life, his dreams and he has to achieve his goals in this lifetime. We are trying to adjust, so that we pursue our dreams.
