Aabad and Charkha are two songs written, recorded, then rewritten and re-recorded over a few months. This process became quite ritualistic, while Aabad was the song being made at night right before sleep, Charkha was the song being written first thing in the morning; both in my head. Naturally the songs became a call and response to what was being said in the songs.

Aabad reflects unfettered hope for better days to come. Charkha responds to this hope and argues for unfettered perseverance to get to the better days almost like a horse with blinds on.

Old and new. Some recorded and finished. Some recorded and unfinished. Some only recorded on a phone. "Hallelujah" is by Leonard Cohen and a tribute only. The rest are originals.

New Waltz

I’m not one for chasing dreams, but sometimes they chase me.
I just need to learn to love this new reality.
The difference between my wants and needs is often razor thin.
I’ve learned the journey’s not as hard as staying in one place.
And sometimes broken promises are just a change of pace.
Pictures hanging on the wall can come down and be put up once again.
Home is where the heart is – home is my best friend.

I can hear the road a’calling, you would have me stay.
Staying’s so much easier, I might leave anyway.
Out there on the road my mind explodes, it goes in overdrive.
If I stay, this time things will go better, you believe.
And every time I stay it’s harder when I finally leave.
Something tells me go get in the car – get in the car & drive.
Home is where the heart is – home keeps me alive.

You think you have me convinced – but one thing you forget.
Staying’s just not who I am – haven’t done it yet.
This time may be diff’rent but I’ve seen nothing to suggest it will.
There’s no point in crying, tears don’t faze me in the least.
I can plainly see the forest even through the trees.
I know it’s not far away - it’s probably just over the next hill.
Maybe one day I’ll find home - Maybe I never will.
Home is where the heart is - I know it’s there still.

Home Is Where the Heart Is

A deeply soulful track that speaks a profound truth directly to your heart.

Since he started in 2011, Shashwat Bulusu has been turning heads with his trademark non-conforming approach toward songwriting. Shashwat’s unapologetic DIY experimentation truly makes him one of a kind. As a result, it’s incredibly difficult to put him in a box.

A singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist, Shashwat is remarkably self aware about his creative process and tries not to over-romanticise his own art. On a cursory listen to his oeuvre of musical narratives, one is bound to be struck by his fearlessness in foraying into new sonic territories. Being a multilingual artist, Shashwat writes in both English and Hindi, each allowing him to delve into unique expressions, sometimes being veiled and other times being more confrontational. An avid story-teller through his songs and his live performances, Shashwat’s songs primarily deal with themes of absurdity and self-admission, underpinned with a sense of raw emotion and vulnerability.

With 4 single releases, the A-side/B-side ‘Aabad’ marking his debut as a Hindi songwriter, 3 nationwide tours, prominent live performances at festivals such as Kochi Biennale ‘23, NH7 Weekender ‘22, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Online Concert ‘21 and scoring for the Indie film ‘Gamit’, Shashwat is steadily and firmly coming into his own, a sonic-universe that reflects his vision as a multifaceted and multidisciplinary artist.
