Come Home to Wadi (Chorus)

The words
Come Home to Wadi
Come home to Wadi, come home this Diwali
Where every familiar face still calls your name
From Singapore to Sydney, Toronto to Rome
We are far and wide, but Wadi is home
Come home to Wadi, let the old roads sing
Nakshatra lights up everything
Before these walls change, before the years roll on
Come home to Wadi, come home to your own
Lyrics by Aseem Hattangady

Step by step
How to make your Wadi reel with the chorus
1. Save the song to your phone
Tap “Download the chorus (MP3)” above. On an iPhone it lands in Files; on Android it lands in Downloads.
2. Pick your pictures and clips
Choose 5 to 15 photos or short videos of Wadi — old albums, this year's visit, your family's corner of the compound.
3. Open a reel editor
Instagram Reels, CapCut or InShot all work. Add your photos and clips in the order you want them to appear.
4. Add the chorus as the background track
Tap Audio, then “Your sounds”, “From device” or “Import”, and choose Come-Home-to-Wadi-Chorus.mp3.
5. Balance the volume
If you are speaking in the clip, set the music volume to about 20% and your own voice to 100%, so the song sits gently underneath.
6. Post it and send it to the Wall
Share it with #ComeHomeToWadi #Nakshatra2026 #Talmakiwadi, then upload the same clip here so it joins Wadi Wall.
The song is yours to use for anything to do with Nakshatra 2026 and Talmakiwadi. Please keep the words and the tune as they are, and credit “Come Home to Wadi — Nakshatra 2026” wherever you can.
