In 2002, Kartik, a guitarist from the famous Folk-Fusion Band Bangla,’ asked me (Zubair Malik) to play the flute.

Ahsanul Hadi Adil (guitar) and Arup (bass guitar) joined, along with Tony from the band Black (Bangladeshi Band)

Thus, Purbo-Poshchim was formed. Initially, Kartik considered singing, inspired by Arnob, but the #flute soon became the dominant

instrument.

We participated in the Benson & Hedges Star Search 2002 and won two awards:

Best Drummer and

Best Other Instrumentalist.

After six months, Kartik left the band. In 2004, Adil and Arup left,
