7 Songs to Tell You What My Music Taste is Like

Number 1: “Malhari”

From Bajirao Mastani

I never saw the movie, but this song gets me hyped up every time.

I think this is my favorite song, ever.

Number 2: “Go Hard”

By DJ Khaled, Kanye West, and T-Pain

This is the Western song that gets me hype every time.

I miss Kanye’s old music. 😦

Number 3: “The Shiva Tandava Stotram”

Performed by Agam Aggarwal

I love Agam Aggarwal’s work, but as a Shiva Bhakt, this is my favorite out of everything he’s done.

I think Agam is like Tay Zonday, and I love both of their voices!

Number 4: “Birog’s Oath”

By Suidakra

“OR STAY HERE AND LOVE ME, BRAVE DRUUUUUuuUUUUUiIIID!”

I’ve been a Brave Druid looking for Birog for a long time. Maybe I’m going about this all wrong? Sadness remains.

Number 5: “Kanda Kanda, Manathu Kanda”

Performed by Manikandan

The vibes from this song makes me miss the home (Kerala) that I never knew (since I was born and raised in NYC).

I always get a feeling of mysterious, unfamiliar nostalgia when I listen to this song. I need to visit Kerala again once all this Covid stuff clears.

Number 6: “Industry Baby”

By Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow

AND THIS ONE IS FOR THE CHAMPIONS!

Lil Nas X is currently my favorite rapper. That’s just my opinion, but I stand by that opinion.

Number 7: “Jay Jaykara”

From Bahubali: The Conclusion

I have nothing witty, funny, or silly to say here. This song always saddens and inspires me.

I know it’s a bad idea, and somewhat weird, but in many ways I desire to be like Bahubali. I’m not strong enough, smart enough, kind enough, brave enough, or anything like that by a million miles, but Bahubali was a two-part movie series that made me feel seen in ways I haven’t felt since.

So, In Conclusion,

My d*** hard.

Just kidding.

But in all seriousness, this is the kind of music I like. What kind of music do you like? I’ll give almost anything a listen, out of respect.

Intro to me

I like to be called Jubba or Jubbaman or Jubbaman DeWubba by friends, but my real/author name is Jayakrishnan Kottaram.

I’m the son of two Malayalee immigrants, I’m a Shaivite Hindu, and I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens.

I’ve been writing stories since I was 7 years old, I’ve been trying to make games since I was 9 years old, and I’m currently a writer and game designer.

My book series that I’m querying is called “The Sixteen Trials” and I’ve made the general plot for the first fifteen of those books. They’re a set of narrative poetry epic fantasy books, and I’ve already finished the first book.

My books are inspired by Hindu/Dharmic lore, and the style is inspired by Sangam-era Tamil poetry.

My Tabletop RPG is called TapestrY, it’s a proficiency-based RPG that has a setting I’ve dubbed as “historical mytho-fantasy.” Like the name would suggest, it draws from history, mythology, and fantasy. One easy way to think about it? “Historical people use fantastical powers to slay mythological enemies.”

Cute little banner I made, saying my game’s name.

I’m all about Wubba, my personal philosophy, which stands for

Wholesomeness

Understanding

Brötherhood

Bëlly

Acceptance

Wubba.

I’m going to discuss Wubba stuff, things that make laugh, RPG/game design, poetry, fantasy stuff, some post apocalyptic stuff, cute animals (really just bears, cats, and raccoons), my miscellaneous thoughts, and memes I make.
