In The Song "dosai Idly," The Man Says "Chutney" Twice Because There Are Two Types Of Chutney, One Of

let's talk about how the term "divine feminine" (shakti) was appropriated from hinduism and turned from this:

to this 🤮

I have been thinking about this and realised that we don't actually have a deva or devi for beauty. People think it is Mata Lakshmi but it's not true. None of her Ashtalakshmi forms also have her represent beauty. Mata

The sibling pairs have different skin colours — Vishnu-Parvati are dark skinned, Shiv-Saraswati are fair skinned, Brahma-Lakshmi are golden skinned — and all of them are called beautiful.

So where does this concept of beauty even come from? That fair is beautiful and dark skinned is not? Does it come from the west? From goddesses like Aphrodite, Venus or Freya? Or were they also made to represent beauty in the modern world to suit white people's beauty standards?

So India just attacked Pakistan. And I live in Pakistan in one of the border countries near where the attacks are happening. I hope with all my might things don’t escalate.

Please keep us in your prayers.

The average Desi experience when you realise you are neurodivergent but your family refuses any psychiatrist or investing in sensory tools or changing their routine (because autism isn't real they lived in a gareeb house with their 20 siblings in a single room) so you're stuck there everyday on the brink of a breakdown but can't actually breakdown because then you'll be screamed at for being an ungrateful brat (while your younger sibling throws a tantrum over not wanting to do his homework and they let him)

A dude in India committed suicide recently because of alimony issues and the country is up in flames because of "gendered laws" where women are the only ones getting alimony (not true) can file false cases any time they like (not true, burden of proof is harsh) and get men put in jail and murdered all the time (also not true).

Every single day, around 20 women are killed (that we know of) for dowry related issues in this country. 85+ women are sexually assaulted every single day. Almost 8 MILLION girls under the age of 10 (TEN) are married in this country. But sure, one dude killing himself means Sharia law needs to be brought and whatever bullshit.

Death to 90% Indian men I swear. That's the only way for the country to have a chance at making it out of the hellhole we're in.

as per the indian government, pakistan is using commercial aircrafts as a shield. they’re launching missiles and drones into india but are taking the bet that india won’t escalate (or even hoping india will to make them look bad) based on the fact that civilian flights are still in progress.

Imagine being so pathetic that you defend your country who back up terrorists, led so many terrorist attacks, killed so many innocent civilians, and gave state funerals to the terrorists wrapped in their flag.

You people fucking stayed silent when the attacks in Pahalgam took place but when we defended, you come up here calling us cowards, playing the so called victim card when it was clearly mentioned that only terrorist camps were targeted.

It was specifically mentioned that no Pakistani military establishments were targeted. Everyone turns blind eye to our sorrow, to the blood of civilians spilled yet burns with rage when we choose to defend ourselves.

While India has only targeted terrorists infrastructure, Pakistan targeting civilians, sikh community in J&K, hitting a gurudwara in Poonch, killing civilians, targeting temples, sending drones on populated cities says a lot about you and your country. Such a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

Om Shanti 🙏🏻
