in no particular order, here are some of my favourites!
• delhi-6 - a.r. rahman 🪔
great movie, experimental, funky soundtrack which uses the best parts of sufi and classical indian music and blends them into modern beats
• when the pawn… - fiona apple 🍎
just her voice, it’s so evocative i love her
• grace - jeff buckley 🌌
rip. this is such an angelic album; it had my back during my breakup (still does)
• folklore - taylor swift 🧦
ah yes, this one is music i fell in love with during the pandemic; it’s really written for the elder daughters with mommy issues
• desire, i want to turn into you - caroline polachek 🚉
a very sensory experience actually, it keeps my brain moving, and not to mention her insane vocals??
• om shanti om - vishal-shekhar 🕉️
my favourite bollywood movie, and a beautifully created soundtrack in which every song comes back to the same riff to keep you in the loop of the even more amazing plot. a must watch and a must listen!
• charm - clairo🪻
cozy, melancholic, loving and so beautiful, another healing album for me
• pretty. odd. - panic! at the disco ☔️
nostalgic and memorable; this is the most beatles-y of their discography
• rockstar - a.r. rahman 🎸
another insane album by him, very soulful, moving and essentially existential rock
• the stranger - billy joel 🎭
a classic, something i feel connects me and my dad :) just helps you confront your true self in a musical way
• aalas ka pedh - the local train 🚈
sooo full of love and heartbreak, this is a very balladic album <3
• an evening with silk sonic - silk sonic 📺
this is shower listening for me; each songs melds into each other so well, but remains distinct !

Tippy top of the list is easily Us and Them by Pink Floyd. Obviously anything off of dark side of the moon is an immediate classic. Such a beautiful album.
A newer band I recently found is “The growlers.” they have some awesome alt rock sounding, good vibes songs. Some of them feel a little “surfy” if that’s your vibe. Favorite song by them rn is easily “dope on a rope.”
A little different of a rec than the first two is another song I hold close to me is “Going in circles” by Friends of Distinction. More of an R&B/Soul group, they have an incredibly warm feeling to this song.
If you want something for your softer side, anything by a girl in red is always the vibe.

it feels so empowering to walk around wearing ethnic clothes in a ‘modern’ city where the standard fashion is deeply influenced by the west. i will always love u, sarees <3
also, this is my mum’s saree, and many sarees are heirlooms passed down in the family. it’s quite literally, wearing your culture, carrying the stories of your ancestors with you!
maybe this is why i like thrifted clothes lol
