My cover version of Anbe Anbe - a Vidyasagar song from 1998 that often gets stuck in my head mostly because of the amazing original vocals by Chitra & Hariharan <3

Created in Logic Pro X with apple loops and midi synth, vocals recorded and mixed in BandLab. This was a max 2-day project. I still need male vocals!! My male vocal track is just a scratch track.

Manohara (Telugu) Live by Din Check

My first original song - written as a Wizard Rock or Wrock genre song meaning it takes place in the Harry Potter Universe. Part of the Patil Project band conceived by Sharmin Rahman, specifically takes place during Goblet of Fire/Book 4. Created back in the day ... before JK went all TERF :-(

LYRICS:
Why can’t I wear 
the damn butterfly in my hair
Oh McGonagall 
Don’t get you at all 
It’s not the Yule Ball
Why do you care
Oh why can’t I wear 
the damn butterfly in my hair
Girls from Beauxbatons
Wearing tons and tons
Of fancy buttons
How can I compare
Oh why ….

Last week Lavender wore freakin werewolf fur
And Ginny Weasley wore
A miniskirt she tore
She looked like a whore
Guess it’s ok for her
Fleur Delacour
Wore skimpy french couture
Even Potter saw
Dropped his stupid jaw
Should be ‘gainst the law
But it worked for sure

So why can’t I wear 
the damn butterfly in my hair
Stand out from the crowd
Make my house proud
It should be allowed
It isn’t fair

Oh Why …

Some of the other girls
Have such perfect curls
Or they’re tall and thin
Or have perfect skin
Like they’re made of win
Stupid teeth like pearls

Oh they use makeup charms
And the boys hang on their arms
Just cuz they’re handsome
Girls act like they’re dumb
Like their brains are numb
 But you’re not alarmed

So why can’t I wear
The damn butterfly in my hair
I don’t act like that
I’m not such a prat
What I’m getting at
What I want to share is

I should get to wear
The damn butterfly in my hair
It’s not a big deal
Come on let’s be real
Lose that look of steel
These chances are rare

Oh Why ….

Megan Jones, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott, Sally Anne Perks, Su Li, Katie Bell,
Mandy Brocklehurst, Angelina Johnson, Lisa Turpin
CHOOOO CHAAAANG

Marietta Edgecombe, Penelope Clearwater, Daphne and Astoria Greengrass, Demelza Robins, Romilda Vane, Tracey Davis and EVEN MY SISTER

Oh Why ...
It's just a butterfly ...
McGonagall it's not fair, why do you care, it's just in my hair

A casual, jamming cover as I tried to figure out the chords to Konjam Nilavu from Thiruda Thiruda (1993) - just for fun!

Konjam Nilavu Jam - Keys & Vocals

Revisiting this project - a cover of this gorgeous ghazal by Papon, originally sung by Anweshaa. Tabla track graciously given to me by Maninder Singh ... still needs a lot of orchestration - bass, drums and guitar, and a lot more mixing down. Eventually want to add harmony.

Benaam Si Khwaayishein (cover)

I am somewhere between being annoyed with this song and liking it. Originally from the Yaadein OST (Anu Malik) - this song has some really dumb parts (especially the male sections) but then other parts get stuck in my head. Anyway I sat at the keys tonight and this came to mind.
