Love, longing, and the ache of what remains unsaid have long been fertile ground for music. With their EP Aarzu, independent artistes Raghu and Khosla, together known as KhoslaRaghu, have traced the whole gamut — from falling in love to heartbreak, then coming to terms with it, and eventually finding hope.

For Raghu, the song Mile Jo Sukoon explores the search for the comfort and peace that used to be associated with someone who is no longer around. “I don’t think we’re only attracted or attached to people we can’t have. Sometimes, the circumstances are such that you really want them in your life, but you can’t have them,” he said.
