Malice in Plunderland is a song that was written during turbulent times in Indian politics. It is a sarcastic take on the greed that overpowers our politicians’ minds even as the commoners struggle to live. A song that is rebellious in its core, it is an open challenge to the leaders, an announcement that we won’t succumb to their avarice and torture.

Malice In Plunderland

This song is about the horrors of an amnesia patient, who wakes up in a hospital to realize he/she has lost all his/her memories..Suddenly everything is new and strange, but instead of being defeated by misfortune, he/she decides to take this as a chance to rejoice life again, find new purpose and meaning to life and somehow see the positive side as he/she is embraced by oblivion . If you look at it in a broader sense, it talks about humanity in general. The race which has lost its path and is falling deeper and deeper down the abyss. Let this remind us that it isn't too late to reverse all of it and instead of weeping over it, we can make attempts to find ourselves again and restore humanity to what it once stood for

Journey Of Rediscovery

Set in the time when violence wrecked Ahmedabad, ‘The Search for Light’ is a song that speaks about communalism in general and the 2002 Gujarat riots specifically. It is quite saddening to see the ruins of the concept of religion, a concept that originally sought to unite man and bring peace to the world. Modern times paint an uneasy picture of leaders trying to convince people with fake promises of peace while using quite ironic slogans such as ’The War for Peace’. In reality it is a deliberate war waged against peace itself. Amidst horrific images of burning houses and blazing shops, Humanity seeks hope. Humanity searches for light.
