BITCH WHO DO YOU THINK MADE THE GODDAMN CARTOON

This world has nothing for me therefore I must bid it farewell.

niche things I love about Indian culture

(Besides the awesome fashion, food, mythology, architecture, music, and philosophies)

-in Hindi, “ladies and gentlemen” is “goddesses and gentlemen” (देवियों और सज्जनो)

-how you measure age by how many monsoons you’ve seen (“he is of 10 monsoons”)

-good morning WhatsApp forwards. Yes, this is a controversial one. I just think it’s cute as hell

-how 2 Indians can each know like 4 languages but still not be able to communicate with each other because they don’t share a single common one

-men wearing lots of jewellery especially gold hoop earrings 👀👌🏽

-nose rings (I got mine when I was a kid WITH my parents’ approval)

-the fact that Indian English uses so many archaic words and terms. And also so many terms that sound like they’re from the year 2050 (like “biodata” for resume)

-“where should I put this?” “On my head.”

-the expression “sucking my blood” in Punjabi when someone is annoying you. “Stop sucking my blood,” “He’s really sucking my blood.” Also “He’s eating my brain” in Hindi is a good one too

-how shop owners serve you food and chai and how the men drape saris over themselves to model them for you

-impromptu poetry sessions (“वह क्या बात है!”)

-there’s a reason so many animes are inspired by Hinduism and Buddhism. The original spirit bombs and other magical energy weapons were in the mahabharat lol

-really off the wall units of measurement. Lakh makes perfect sense. Crore makes a bit of sense. But why is a mahakalpa 311,040,000,000,000 years. Why does an akshauhini consist of 21,870 chariots; 21,870 elephants; 65,610 horses and 109,350 infantry. That is so specific

-the fact that no one’s gonna top the party we’re gonna throw when the queen dies

I am honestly so supportive of young women and girls who don’t want to present themselves as sexual, whether they’re asexual, sex-repulsed, politically celibate, women who don’t want to feel or be sexy, or women who just don’t want to discuss it. I’m supportive whether this is something temporary or permanent, whatever the reason for it. If sex isn’t liberating for you, that’s great. There’s nothing wrong with that and I’m sorry you’re being sold the lie that you’re repressed and/or unfeminist.

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.

it’s so funny that I get attached to characters who are pathetic and clingy because irl if I get the slightest impression that someone else is more attached to me than I’d like I sprint in the opposite direction. I plan my schedule around avoiding them as much as possible. I’ll fake my death if I have to.
