โ€œDekho Ghut Tey Ja Rahe Hainโ€ - a song born out of the #haze that surrounds us once again. When every #breath feels heavier, music becomes our voice - a cry for #cleanerskies, for #childhoods that can still laugh under the sun. Let this #song remind us what we are losing, and what we must fight for. ๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿ’” Listen NOW!
