Has Bumpy quit Cactus?

There’s a strong buzz that Mainak ‘Bumpy’ Nagchowdhury has quit Cactus. The bassist, who has carved a niche for himself in the city’s music circuit, cleared the air as he said, “I am taking a step back from everything. I have taken a sabbatical for a month; there are a few prior commitments that I will have to keep, but other than other I want to be on my own,” he said.Bumpy said he has already informed the band about his decision. “I lost two very dear people last year — Jayashree and Kochuda. I kind of slipped into depression. To bring myself out of it, I need to get back to learning,” he said. Cactus has already undergone many lineup changes and if this is any pointer, there’s likely to be more in the coming days.
