Aalayal Thara Venam is a seemingly harmless song we all grew up listening to. But there are so many things wrong with it, at so many levels. Along with Shruthi Sharanyam, I have broken down the old song and restructured it. We are questioning every stereotype and every ‘truth’ that has been passed down blindly through generations. Let’s sow the seeds of a new rebellion that asks questions instead of silently accepting whatever is told to us.

Aalayal Thara Veno ?

Kuruthi is one of the tracks from Sooraj Santhosh's debut independent album The Gypsy Sun.

Not to the departed but
To those who concealed
To those who see the blackness of lust in childlike lips
To those who stand with flags and exult over decapitated dreams
To those who stand hardened with  the arrogance of religion 
The world does not need you

Kuruthi Ft. Varkey ( The Gypsy Sun )

‘Adhwanathin Viyarpanu Njan’ is a poem penned by the immortal Vayalar Rama Varma. His lines about the value of human effort in bringing about changes in society rings true even today.
