KANJA is a malayalam hip-hop song and not a substance of abuse. :D

Thakara is a collective of Film Students/ Bathroom Rockstars. Thakara, the Free Spirited titular character from the film that united 2 Legends is a personification our Knowledge in Music.So it's more of a Journey by a group of Friends to find the Rhythm and Harmony inside us and to express it in Sounds & Frames.

Thakara - Podi Penne Official Song

In the backdrop of dark clouds threatening to burst into rain, the idol of the Goddess arrives on a caparisoned tusker. The skies rumble ~ “Thimi thimi takkam thei thei” ~ for she who is worshiped in the Malayalam month of Karkidaga (during monsoon time between mid-July and mid-August). Ladles of rainwater pour down into the temple courtyard and the sky lights up in the colours of the rainbow. The dance of the peacock reminds one of locks of hair set free…the clouds fill-up, dissolve, drip and float away.

Njan Aara (who am I?) is a song about ones identity, in this case, while introspecting matters of the heart. In the rhythmic beating of the heart one understands hidden thoughts. When one’s dreams are warmed by love, the mind wishes to awake to all things new. Old thoughts are burnt away like senescent leaves as a fire spreads rapidly through one’s senses.

Keep the flame burning. Even when there is no hope and dark thoughts threaten to loom and build a fortress around the mind, even if sunshine is but a distant memory; know yourself and you will be able to find a way to accept a crown of thorns and swim tirelessly in troubled waters.


Njan Aara

Chekele describes the plight of an agrarian couple Chathan and Neeli.

The farmer and his wife awoke before dawn and arrived at the thambran’s (landlord) house to mark their attendance before working the fields. At the paddy field, they find the crop destroyed due to flooding. Chathan, worried about his next meal, wonders if he could get a simple porridge at dusk. “Madathilendunde kachikudikkan aiye Andekadi ke daathi” (is there anything at home that can be boiled and drunk for dinner, my dear? He asks). A failed crop, is a failed year…when the harvest festival of Kerala ~ Onam ~ comes, this year, the couple will be unable to participate in the ritual of giving handsel, a token gift of food and grains to the landlord.

The farmer’s predicament takes him and his wife into the forest for sustenance. The last-remaining sweet-tasting food they brought along for the journey has attracted ants and the cane basket that they carried their belongings in has come undone…

But despite being unlucky, the journey into the forest gives the couple a chance to be alone; never losing sight of each other they climb many hills, hastily.


Chekele

Who mucked up the system and more importantly why are we paying for the sins of our forefathers? The price of an elephant is what it takes to light up a village but sometimes even for the price of two; one cannot light up a home. Such is the irony of life, even as news ceases to make sense. Turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper only to learn that two minarets crushed a housefly or that a woman in Kochi began to sprout a mustache, talk about making a mockery on an individual’s intelligence! And then there is the Kaliyuga that is blamed for unusual happenings. Nobody really questions why?
