Since his childhood he was only acquainted with classical Bengali and Indian music, “but when Suman Chattarjee burst on to the scene with modern Bangla songs, he wondered if he could dare to compose like him.” In the university hostel, his roommate was Taufiqe Riaz, who used to write songs. Arnob was asked to sing a song of Taufiqe on his guitar. As Taufiqe was amazed to see how beautifully Arnob tuned his song, he gave all of his lyrics to Arnob (He didn’t release any song of Taufiqe with his band, he released those as a solo artist). Arnob said, “he found his musical taste, a little different from his friends in Dhaka.” He also said, “whenever he came to visit his family in Dhaka, he saw his friends were more interested in pop, rock and metal.” When at that time he was only listening to classical music. In late 1998, when he was a fourth-year student, he formed a folk band named Bangla, because of his interests in the Bauls and Lalon. He stated that “the freedom that he found in the baul music mainly inspired him to form a band.” In the same year, his cousin Anusheh Anadil, came to visit him in Santiniketan. As she was also interested in the Bengali traditional folk music, she became the vocalist of the band. In early 1999, Arnob along with Anusheh, went to visit the Shrine of Lalon in Kushtia and met Buno. He was a friend of Anusheh and also played bass guitars, so he joined Bangla. The trio had their first show in Kolkata Book Fair in 1999.
