Anirban is a disciple of Buddhadev Dasgupta and has never formally studied with Radhika Mohan Maitra although growing up in the latter's towering presence, I am sure, has impacted his music.

"unleashed?"

Surprisingly fluid command over Bonglish (And certainly not a reproduction of Anirban's own writing).
A curious verb indeed.
Would you kindly care to explain whether it is the verb per se that you find "curious" or the context of its usage?
And what, exactly, did his musical career formally unleash?
That is more certainly a spectacle that warrants a trip to Providence, doesn't it?
What does one wear to a formal unleashing?
A leash, perhaps? Or maybe a "leash form".....

A lone human being amid all the groups of sitars, sarods and
other stringed instruments...no wonder he stood first!

At this juncture, one merely has to bow in eternal gratitude for the good fortune of existing in this world in Shri Senders's time. ;-).

The concert promises to be exciting, though.
