Thank you guys for your constant love and support! We love you guys!
Here are the LYRICS!
(Fun fact - Each line of the verse begins with the syllable of the Swara that precedes it!)

TAKA TAKA THEI THEI
TAKATA THEI THEI (X8)

Sa- Surrounded by remnants of old culture
Re- Reminds me that we live amongst vultures
Ga- Gareeb at heart but feelin’ like a Zuckerburg
Ma- Mama didn’t teach me that,
Pa- Papa couldn’t give a ****

Sa- Surprise, surprise! Who needs the president While they’re
Re- Rippin’ us apart like Pineapple Express, yo
Ga- Garam masala takin’ over news feeds
Ma- Mama couldn’t breathe,
Pa- Papa didn’t give a shit

Forgive me for what I’ve done to you
You are my cause
(Every breath every second I breathe my heart goes)
Forget me and what I mean to you,
I am your loss
(Every breath every second my mind goes)

TAKA TAKA THEI THEI
TAKATA THEI THEI (X4)

(A wise man once said)
Sa- Sarve janao sukhino bhavantu, you
Re- Reap what you sow, repeat what you’re told even if it’s
Ga- Garbage, I pray to God that people like you
Ma- Mar jaaye, mere
Pa- Paas kabhi nahi aaye

Sa- Surprise your peers, surpass your fears, make them
Re- Rethink every decision they’ve made all these years
Ga- Garam bhi thand bhi mere vyang ke rang, main
Ma- Malang bhand mere sang
Pa- Paramaanand

Forgive me for what I’ve done to you
You are my cause
(Every breath every second I breathe my heart goes)
Forget me and what I mean to you,
I am your loss
(Every breath every second my mind goes)

TAKA TAKA THEI THEI
TAKATA THEI THEI

I was in IITB this year when these guys performed this song and it's beautiful, just the Indian band you want to see and hear at an concert ❤

This song shook the entire stage at TKM. Had zero expectations after the rain but you guys threw my non-existent expectations right out of the window. Hats off to you for making it a memorable performance.

[theboldegg]

Where words changes to emotions,
Rhythm changes to passion,
The ragam changes to craziness
With lot of untold expression
And the happiness of
Performance to a different level,
It's the experience
