Amazing talent. I hope they all flourish!
I know yaad does not have too many views and that maybe because it is not in Hindi and it takes time to get a feel of that song. But I heard the meaning of the song and now I like it. Apparently Suva means beloved in Pahadi
Wow! After listening to this, I am even more impressed with PD that I have been so far - if such a thing is even possible! He has his own songs, he carries his "setup" around (I assume it is a laptop with software to generate music, and maybe a mic to get the vocals), and he selflessly stays up all night just because Danish wants a "me too" (at least that is how it sounded on this interview!) And a shout out to Nihal also for being selflessly involved in this project for the programming. And Arunita for all the behind the scenes help - as we had speculated earlier, she seems to have been helping the team during the shoot.
By the way, do listen to Yaad (PD), Manzoor Dil (PD and Ashish), and PD's earlier self-released song called "Tu hi bata" using a good pair of over-the-ear headphones (not in-ear buds). The arrangement is just superlative. These guys can really shine if they get the right breaks!!
