A Remark, A Realization, and a Song Called Asuya

A Remark, A Realization, and a Song Called Asuya

Toronto, Canada. A busy office. Indo-Canadian singer-songwriter Hanishka Polimera was working as a software developer when a colleague made an offhand remark. “People from my country may speak English well or poorly, but others? They’ll always have an accent.”

At first, she ignored it. Until another day, when she mentioned that this colleague reminded her of a friend. “Is she from your background? I hope she doesn’t have that thick accent.”

It wasn’t just a comment—it was something deeper. It held a quiet bias, a touch of jealousy, and a hint of exclusion.

That moment turned into Asuya—a song about hidden emotions, unspoken words, and the power of subtle envy. The haunting melody and evocative lyrics make Asuya a deeply relatable experience. But this is only the beginning of Hanishka’s musical journey.

With a signature style that fuses deep storytelling, Telugu artistry, and modern global sounds, Hanishka is redefining Indian music for a worldwide audience. Her upcoming projects explore thought-provoking themes with fresh, experimental production—blending hip-hop, electronic beats, and rich Indian instrumentation. Asuya’s success is just a glimpse of what’s to come.
