I am not a young person at all; I am well into my middle-age. But when the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa results were announced, I almost jumped high in joy. For, except perhaps Nihira, nobody deserves the prize better than Debojit does. His opponent, Vinit, with all the hype and his mentor's fierce appeals to voters about how they should vote for the real star Vinit, undoubtedly sings exquisitely, but has a bit of a squeaky and immature voice. Debojit's voice is warm and appealing, and he sings with refreshing ease. He comes across also as a good human being, a thing that gets translated into singing; besides, Ismail Durbar is a master craftsman in music. Under his baton, Debojit, and, God-willing, Nihira, can make a brand new, smashing, playback-hit singing pair ! Surekha
