‘The song’, Bawari Basanti says ‘is about how much I yearn to be free in the truest sense. To be able to walk alone at night, without being harassed. To feel like my actions are my own and take full responsibility. That feeling of ‘nothing can hold me back’ can come only when you have made peace with yourself. Accepted you’re past and present, questioned your failures, triumphs and intentions.  Growing up in New Delhi, it can get suffocating to have your hands tied by our ever-increasing social structures and influences. And often, I fail to make the decisions I should have made for my own good, and thus enabling much harm on my own mental health.’ 

Many of you shared your stories of how you faced SOCIAL STIGMA and did not let that change the course of your lives. I shall also be sharing my story as well as that of many women whose lives could have been very different had they not given in to pre existing social norms and maybe had the freedom to question those structures at the time. This story shifts between my life and that of my grandmother, depicting how we both had a choice at every step. And how our different choices completely changed the stories of our life. #Bhaag

Bringing in the monsoons with a banger!

Soche Har Pal, Phir Kyu Bola Nahi Rota Chup Kar, Par Kyu Sehta Wahi Adhoore The Jo Wo Khwaab, Bun Lo Unko Aaj, Kya Bolein Tume ye baat Choti Si baat Lage kuch khaas. Dheere, dheere, beh jaaye ye Khwaab Kya Bolein Tumse Ye baat

Khabar Mein Raho was written by Dr. Rahat indori,  Music composed and performed by Bawari Basanti  Bass has been played by Mark Aranha Video made by Manish Ingale

This video came about when Aditya Khati, found my music on the internet and decided to open his pandoras box full of beautiful video clips, that he had shot himself between 2014 - 2021. His visuals were able to evoke the emotions the lyrics wanted to express.  We hope you also enjoy this song as much as we enjoy constantly, making music and videos for you all.

For me, Rahiman Dhaga is a spin on the age old causality dilemma; relationships once broken; can they be mended?  a collage of dohas by Mirabai and Rahim, where their words speak of the non-permanence of relationships.

'Relationships, once broken can they or should they be mended.'  And for years both my brother and I felt that the meaning of the Doha -  II Rahiman dhaga prem ka mat todo chitkaye,  toote se phir na jude, jude ganth padi jaye II  We thought that Rahim was saying that relationships once broken cannot be mended just like a rope once cut cannot be fixed and once fixed it will always have a knot. But that's not true, is it?
