Batnāyya, Iraq: Local Conflicts, Conflict Resolution and Visions for Peace

For generations, the inhabitants of Thar have lived in harmony with nature — spending their lives in chaunras or rooms made of mud, straw, and wood. That harmony, however, is being seriously  undermined by coal development now. 

In this episode of our podcast, we record the fears, frustrations and anger of the residents of Thario Halepoto, a village overshadowed  by Pakistan’s larger coal mine located in Tharparkar district, over their impending displacement from their traditional abodes.

Nowhere to Go was born from two worlds colliding — the pull of romance, curiosity, and wonder, and the unshakable awareness of millions with no home, no safety, and no country to claim them. It drifts between yearning and sorrow, beauty and displacement… a soundscape for hearts that wander and for those with nowhere to go.

At the cusp of sixty, Granny discovered that creativity has no expiration date. 

With no prior experience creating music or using DAWs, she embarked on an exploratory digital music journey using GarageBand: 

Little did she know that quest would translate into a new roadmap for her life.

What began as simple curiosity quickly evolved into deep exploration of sonic landscapes through loops, samples, and layered sound design. Her long-dormant creative fires were reignited.

How Granny Got Her Groove Back emerged as the artist name the moment she began sharing music with others — a playful nod to reinvention and resilience, inspired by the film How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Granny Grooves is the sound of that journey — lush, loop-based tracks that blend classical roots with modern digital expression.

Music has been Granny’s lifelong companion—a source of both inspiration and refuge—from school band and choir, to years as a dancer and pianist, rhythm and melody have been essential to how she breathes and moves in the world. 

Now, blending her classical musical foundation with the tools of modern digital production, she embraces experimentation across diverse styles. 

Each track is a new adventure, a balance of nostalgia and innovation grounded in life experience, yet always open to playful surprise—a testament to how artistry can deepen, evolve, and bloom at any stage of life.
