Hi Ravi, This is Anish..Im from Mumbai (but currently studying in US)...Rehna Tu also happens to be , not just my fav song from the album of Delhi 6, but it ranks in Rahmans top 10 compositions..the 2 min musical section at the end is played using an instrument called 'Continuum'..u can read abt this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_(instrument) One can now guage the greatness of Rahman..and what a genius he is...when the song concludes u can sense the goosebumps on ur flesh (but this feeling will disappear on repeated listening)....happy listening!
