Two profound words. A state of being. So intense, pure & free.


Have you ever smelt petrichor? If yes, then recall what happens to you in that moment. Not after, as that would be its consequence, but right during its occurrence. Try recalling. For me, it is where I become immune to everything that is mentally & physically around. 

Imagine this fraction of a moment amplified to maybe a minute or 24 hours or a lifetime. What would the experience of life be? 
And that state for me, is to "Just. Be." Intense, pure & free.

This beautiful state of being I witnessed in the differently abled children. The album art you see, is an amalgamation of their expression in lines, forms & colours. The titles of the songs you read, are the titles I chose amongst the hundreds of handwritten recommendations I received from people around the world for each song, over 3 years of touring.

 

Devoted, in memory of
Ustad Zakir Hussain.
