Sometimes one needs an excuse to write and some-times words dawn upon you out of no-where. Wrote this Nazm this afternoon while going for Lunch and tried to finish it tonight.

I was up till 1:30 AM last night penning down some verses that visited me around 11 PM last night. By the time I put my pen down, a rather lachrymose Nazm was born.

Recorded this song today on Special request by a co-worker of this rather unknown Kishore Kumar song from an 80s movie. I had never heard this one before so I listened to it on YouTube yesterday and figured out the chords as best as I could. This is Just a rushed version. The Original song…
The first 2 lines showed up in my mind last night around the midnight hour and this morning, I was able to pen down a Nazm, which I will call Benaam Nazm as I was unable to give it a name, for it was never born and it shall never die. It’s been almost 4…
Started writing this on the midnight of 11th December and recorded a sketch version the next morning. Just a folk poem with a simple melody. Still working out the chinks in the music. Hope you mates enjoy it! Words: Now I’ve come to the cross-roads In my life and I will say I still dream…
