Own Comps(so far): Neighbor – It’s about the people who’re the most unnoticed, the most ignored, the rejected lot of the society – Rag-pickers, Junkies, Maids, Prostitues, Old people, Depressed lot. We’re told to love our neighbors. But most of the time we are selective and prejudiced on whom our Neighbor is.

Alive – There are trials, tough times, challenges that we face everyday in life and there are times we feel like giving up. This song talks about understanding that in spite of everything, be glad you’re alive. Think about those who’re longing to live, but cannot.

Yadein - This song, a Hindi one, talks about the most wonderful moments of our lives that we often get absolutely nostalgic about - our childhood. Musical influence - Call & Jal (the Pakistani Rock Bands).

The Pursuit – This song is a conversation with Kurt Cobain & Marlyn Monroe – both who were charismatic in their times, yet ended their lives. All their lives they lived in pursuit of something.
