the desi urge to murder the education system.

Being desi - tacitly being allowed to watch adult scenes in movies because your family somehow "knows" that you "know" despite never "having the talk" with you.

dipping Parle-G for the right amount of time before it gets soggy should be an olympic sport.

childhood is all about loving heroes and maturity is all about understanding villians

being the eldest daughter AND having acts of service as my main love language will be the death of me

brown parents: tum bache ho

desi people be like life sucks but at least we have maggi

What is life if not a series of oh fucks

my life is a constant struggle between "jo hoga dekha jayega" and "jo ho raha hai dekha nahi jaa rha"

"Beta 10th ke baad kya?"

"Beta 12th ke baad kya?"

"College ke baad kya?"

"Beta job ke baad kya?"

"Beta shaadi ke baad kya?"

"Beta bachhon ke baad kya?"

Hindi is such a beautiful language where mazak stands for my life.

Me to me for myself- tauba tauba sara mood kharaab kr dia

The feminine urge to argue w a man for fun

falling in love with her in the AR Rehman sort of way

Vibes I get from Indian Cities

Mumbai

Mumbai feels like that kid who just doesn't give up. They'll run, fall, hurt themselves but they won't give up. Mumbai feels like a kid that fully believes in "work hard play hard". They may come of as superficial but they have deep understanding and vast expanse of feelings to it. Mumbai is the kid who I generally accepting of everyone, is on good terms with everyone and will not refuse to help anyone.

Pune

You know that meme with the triangle with "Sleep", "Social Life" and "Good Grades" on each of the vertices and says that you can only choose two? Well, Pune choose all three. Pune is an all rounder.

Delhi

Delhi feels like that aunt or uncle who didn't get married or have kids and is young at heart. Delhi is well traveled, has an immersive knowledge about everything and is wise. Lowkey has a drinking/smoking problem though.

Kolkata

Kolkata feels like someone who is very well educated, has spent years abroad and then returned home to take care of their aging parents and because they felt they had to reconnect with their homeland to find themselves again

Chennai

Chennai has a motherly vibe to it. Chennai is traditional and has strong values which may not be as cool or as up to date and Tech savvy as the other cities, but no one provides you with comfort you the way Chennai does.

Bangalore

Bangalore is that 20 something year old who wanted to be an artist of some sort when they were a teenager, but their parents wanted them to get a more traditional degree so they got an engineering degree but ultimately ended up with their own start up and are now doing something they are passionate about. They spend their days drinking coffee and they spend their nights drinking craft beer.

Gangtok

Gangtok feels like a child who just joined kindergarten and sees the whole world with a new perspective everyday and is just learning to be apart from their parents for the first time. Gangtok is hopeful, Gangtok has a sparkle in their eye and a bounce in their step and curiosity in life. Gangtok has nothing but love to give to everyone and everything they see in life.

Jaipur

Jaipur has balance. Jaipur has traditional values with a modern thinking. Jaipur respects their elders but is not afraid to call them out on their bullshit. Jaipur wears kurtas with ripped jeans. Jaipur has the past, present and future in perfect balance.

Udaipur

Udaipur is like the older gentleman who makes you believe that chivalry isn't dead. Udaipur has royal blood, stories of valour and courage and loyalty. Udaipur makes young men want to be like him and young women want to be with a younger version of him.

Varanasi

Varanasi is the grandmother. She had to change her name but didn't let that change her identity. Varanasi has healing powers, the best aam ka achar and will never let you return empty stomached.

Shillong

Shillong is the quiet teenaged girl who exudes radiance. She is beautiful. And not just in terms of her looks. She is beautiful because of her soul and her mind. She has a few close friends, and knows how to party. She will also wake up on time the day after a party and get back to her work on time.

ENOUGH of media representing teens sneaking out and going to parties. Where is my representation of teens literally sitting in their room alone with Spotify ad in the background and crying over their test results and h.w.???

brown parents really need to understand that the eldest sibling is not a third parent

brown parents will ruin your mood and then ask “mu kyun latka rakha hai”

brown parents will body shame you for having the features that they passed down to you

desi kids wish to get caught by parents while studying in the room

“Paise ped pe nhi ugte.”

— Every desi dad ever

why the fuck is it that when idols are dating someone it’s called a ‘scandal’?? how about we call it ‘idols being humans and having a life outside of catering to their delusional fans every need’

Listen Shakespeare, I love you, I love your tragedies and your comedies and your romances and your Tudor era propaganda disguised as historical theatre, but listen, I’ve really got a bone to pick with you.

I just can’t get over the fact that you’re the reason everybody seems to think Cleopatra was some stupid party dazzle beautiful goddess queen that was Caeser and Mark Antony’s mantle peice instead of oh, I dunno,

The only pharaoh of her dynasty to actually care about ruling the kingdom and who actually knew the native language and didn’t use her title as a flimsy excuse to party all day

A woman who spent her early days as an exile of the palace and saw the ruin her ancestors had made of Egypt because they never cared about their people

A master propagandist who perfectly utilized her role as a female pharoah to paint herself as the popular female deity Isis instead of Ra (or Horus; it’s complicated) as usual

A strategic prodigy who managed to convince Julius goddamn Caesar to ally with her and throw a coup that god rid of her young puppet king brother (and guys she probably didn’t do it with her boobs, Caesar and her only get involved later on as a political move on Cleo’s part)

Someone described as quick-witted and smart by her contemporary’s rather then pretty or otherwise remarkably beautiful

A ruler who actually listened to the input of her people, we have letters from common townsfolk that would be sent back and forth between the palace and other places around Egypt detailing issues the people were experiencing and how Cleopatra aimed to help

Managed to convince Mark Antony that Egypt was strong enough for it to win over Rome (and it almost did!!!!)

Made that little bitch Octavian/Augustus quiver in his stupid little boots.

Killed herself because she refused to become a plaything in Octavian’s stupid little triumph party.

Like come on guys!!!! Damn it Bill, you didn’t have to condemn her legacy to “a woman with evil hypnotizing boobs” I love you William but for that I must say, fuck you.
