Love Shall Set You Free
The difference between romantic love, true love, love for nature, pets, for the family is all a mere distraction. Mostly, it is a dirty attempt to sell a thing. Did you get your lover a teddy this week? Or chocolates? What did you get your mother for Mother’s Day?

Pink Moon Walked Up To Me
Summers don’t seem to bother when you are young. In scorching heat, you walk barefoot to see your lover. The rebel in you is awake. On a similar day, an eternity from today, in torn-out Converse, dirty blue jeans, and a worn-out Pink Floyd tee, I walk under the shades of the neatly planted Eucalyptus […]

A City Desolate
I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and my biggest fear is of some kind of dystopian future where we’re advanced in every way except in our humanity. Bryce Dallas Howard One day, I am being caressed by the soft mountain winds, remedied by the oblique Himalayan sunburns, my dry, arid body rejuvenated by the […]

Winter Wonderland
The arid desert just took a bath. The cold, wet, winter steam is a sign of new life. The Earth is celebrating, the birds are happy, the trees are awake, and the barren ground thirst is quenched. The winter wonderland is dancing today.

I am a Bird
Everything in monotone, dances of browns and dirt, Palampur started to feel like a dear deserted ocean. The grace of this winter oasis is undeniably late. It has not rained here in ages. I slept under a fragile drizzle, and today I woke up to its blissful grace. It rained today. The dull, soft winter […]

Haalaat – A Personal Inquiry
In 2020, while on a four month trip to Kerala, Haalaat came to me. The warm and authentic hospitality of people I met was substantial, and I am indeed a very sensitive man. Experiences move me. A lot! “How are you?” a frequent question, whenever asked, was projected with such true intentions that I would […]

Watch Your Language
Language is a powerful tool that can either bring people closer or push them away. The words we use have a significant impact on how we communicate and how we are perceived by others. Using foul language may seem like an easy way to communicate our thoughts and emotions, but it compromises the nuance of our emotions and leaves us with a superficial connection with others.

To paint a picture, the canvas needs to be blank; to write a poem, the page has to be empty; similarly to experience music, one has to embody silence. You become a master once you learn the art of listening. In this essay, we dive deep into how silence precedes the music experience.

Day 04/30 // 01 June 2024
Identity is what limits us from growth and ascension. And it is a requisite for an artist to learn how to let go of beliefs and accept change as it comes. In Part II of On Defining an Artist, we examine the role of identity and establish a fundamental understanding of what it really means to let go.

Who is an artist? Is there a distinction between being a human and being an artist? This dilemma has held me for as long as I can remember. In this text, I am trying to understand what truly makes an artist.

You can ask people to share your art online, it is okay but don’t complain when they don’t. Put in your work and analyse, experiment, learn and iterate.

The Songwriter’s Workshop
with Saby Singh
First offline in-person songwriting Workshop in Noida, Delhi!
Multiple attempts to make it as a commercial act, I almost drove myself crazy. After years of inexplicable agony, I came to realise that peace will only ensue if I experience freedom as an artist first.
This is my journey while I try to free myself, unlearn and reclaim what I always knew was my truth.
Hello, my name is Saby and I am a singer, songwriter, a wannabe writer, an imposter of a photographer, a brilliant educator ( ◐ω◑ ) and a terribly weird human being.
