His voice so full of inexplicable emotions! The violinist is a real life Goddess! Rahul, I hope for your father to get well soon. Take care :-/

[@TheEngineersPick]

Yes! Thank you for the contribution! Means a lot!

[@shivangisharma8066]

I've seen TWP during their inception when I used to hangout at Prestige Shantiniketan. Incredible journey! Never thought Khalid himself would become a part of it! What a masterpiece, team! :)

[@TheEngineersPick]

Thank you so much. Good to hear this!

[@kashyapbhagat6272]

Hi team Engineer's Pick, I heard Khalid play this about 2 years ago in a small solo gig and it stuck in my head but i couldn't even hum it back to myself, so huuuuge thanks to you guys that this poetry has been finally officially recorded with his voice and amazing music. Wondering if we will get to hear these on audio streaming platforms with lyrics and translation :)

[@umanriyazagoo7820]

When you don't know khalid is the same guy who is a lead singer in PARVAAZ but still you recognise the voice. It felt like "kehe toh dekha hai " From Roz to Roz to this song, an incredible journey . I believe this channel is also going to do wonders in future. Goodluck.

[@TheEngineersPick]

Thank you. Check out the other episodes on the channel. They’re all in different languages native to India.
