Proshow preview #2 : Mohit Chauhan

Back in the day, we all heard of and fell in love with the song Dooba Dooba by Silk route. The enchanting vocals and riffs followed by the first Indian underwater music video has us all hooked. They were an Indian band who had been classified under the broad category of ‘Indipop’ but who wished to distance themselves as far as possible from the term. The band ‘Silk Route’, came into being in the summer of 1997 and caught the attention of the country’s music scene by bagging a host of Channel V awards for their first album Boondein, with the track "Dooba Dooba" receiving the ‘Best Song’ award. The band incidentally also got awards for its underwater video, for ‘Best Debut’, ‘Best Music Video’ and ‘Best Indian Group’. It was, in fact, this runaway success that happened to them while they were barely born into the musical world that spurred them on to aspire for the heights that they have reached. The lead singer of the band, Mohit Chauhan is now all set to vow audiences at Chaos 2009. Mohit hails from Himachal Pradesh and brings with him the influence of the music from the hills, which adds that folk colour to his voice that has made it so distinctive. His film music career got a flying start when he was roped in to sing a song in the film "Rang De Basanti" by none other than A R Rahman. His song "Khoon Chala" was widely appreciated. After Khoon Chala his next hit song was "Tum Se Hi" composed by Pritam, from the film Jab We Met. His latest work is the song "Masakali" from the film Delhi-6 composed by A R Rahman. The song is currently topping the charts. Here's the video from youtube...

A quiz!

In Greek mythology, it is the original state of existence from which the first gods appeared. It is made from a mixture of what the Greeks considered the four elements, air, water and fire. Ovid, in his Metamorphoses, described it as a "rather a crude and indigested mass, a lifeless lump, unfashioned and unframed, of jarring seeds and justly named ____".

What?

The race is on... Safexpress Great Ahmedabad Race @ Chaos

300 teams tried their hand...
10 moved on to the next round ...
2 people in a team...
1 city will choose the winner !

In association with Safexpress, Chaos brings you The Great Ahmedabad Race [GAR]. 10 teams will battle it out on a treasure hunt throughout the city of Ahmedabad - from the Mughal Darwazas to the Gandhi Ashram, from the river banks to the lake front - the race has no bounds...

Here's a small teaser from the GAR online quiz, leave your guesses as a comment ;)


Eleven miles is what its length is showing,
Only four milestones, it is containing;
A disease is the beginning,
Then, a memory reading;
The five in the middle is a type of counting,
Within that is a city if you're scouting;
A country you'll find, if you continue looking,
The eight in the last is a man given to writing;
The final three – an endless catch in fishing,
By a wizard practicing.

What is this word?
