Leaving Dehradun
Our New Release
Anna Tanvir wrote this song about Maninder Singh leaving his home town for South India. That evening, there was a storm described in the international news as one of the most ferocious Dehradun had ever seen, but Maninder still got on his bike and went round saying goodbye to friends and took the train out of the town. Thank you Nitin Joshi, Pracheer Devli Rohan Rawat and Viraj Sikand.
