Sumon changed the name of the band to 'Aurthohin'. Zubair and Adnan left the band few months later. Later, Shovon came in as a guitarist & vocalist. Early 2000, Piklu, guitarist of 'Maqsood o Dhaka' joined in with the departure of Shovon and Tonmoy due to educational reasons.

Doctors considered it as a miracle.
