India, Feb. 13 -- It was 25 years ago that Delhi-based musician Mohit Chauhan, after the release of his band Silk Route's debut album Boondein, first took the stage as a performing musician. Now, 57, on the heels of releasing yet another studio album (Musafir), Chauhan agrees that he has indeed come a full circle.

"After Boondein and Pehchaan (his second album; released in 2000), I got involved with film music. My last album was Fitoor which released in 2009/10, and so it finally feels like I have come back to the non-film music space after a long gap. And it is where I always wanted to be when I started," says the Kun Faya Kun singer, who launched the first song of his album, Duur, in Delhi, over the weekend.
