When all of us are acknowledged as the human equals that we really are, there will be no space left for bullying. It will no longer be wrong to choose one thing over another.

To be called one thing, is oftentimes to be another.

Speaking in broken Telugu is one thing, and dubbing is another.

Ideas are one thing and what happens is another.

Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.

It's from being melancholy and having my human down experiences that I learn, that I overcome, that I transform - and these realizations I put into song. That's what I choose to put in my backpack and carry with me around the world.
