I’m Leaving Chennai Station, my bags are all packed, A personal migration, get back, get back! I’m looking at the people who stare back at me, About to start the journey of self-discovery, How do they see my differences with the same dress and skin? How do they know me as a foreign alien? Now I hear that train a-hummin’, I’ve got to move on, I just can’t help but singing this song, it goes along, like this: Chalanata Blues are gonna get you if you never choose to speak your mind out loud, Different isn’t wrong, just a new and precious song you should sing so strong and proud, Riding’ on the rails of life, Railway crossing: ease and strife Your mind’s your voice for every choice, So the journey goes. So the journey goes… Embarkation is at Chennai Egmore Central Station, Mambalam, Thambaram, Chengalpattu, Maduranthakam, Milmaruvatur, Villupuram, Tiruchirapalli junction, Kottayam, Thiruvalla, Chenganur, Kodumudi, Erode Junction. The landscape’s rolling by now with a whispering wind, Why do they rarely stop and just drink it all in? If hearts are worn on sleeves, maybe our souls walk our paths, And spirits start to soar only when egos are trashed. Experience is teacher, religion and muse, For worse or better, it is the course that I choose, Now I’m heading for that junction, destination unknown, This journey is a function of finding my home…

This album is dedicated to the memory of Jane Hanley and Snehesh Sinha


“Your mind’s your voice for every choice, so the journey goes…”
This describes not only the musical journey of this album, but also the process of making the album.

The music runs the gamut from traditional south Indian to jazz-infused originals to classic Bollywood.

The members of autorickshaw (Suba Sankaran, Ed Hanley, Rich Brown and Debashis Sinha) have had the pleasure of working with world-renowned guest musicians and we chose to continue the tradition by inviting them to join us in the studio - to capture the experience in sound.

After many sleepless nights, long hours in the studio, and inevitable twists in the road, we’re thrilled to present this audio snapshot of the past two years of composition, touring and collaboration.

We hope you enjoy the journey.

Suba and Ed, November 2006
