Why I love desi tumblr:
1. Every other person is expressing their love for chai
2. Moodboards for the most obscure and wonderful things, that I can't seem to live without now
3. SO MUCH INDIAN MYTHOLOGY. I can find anything from krishna-subhadra to panchali-arjun to bheem-duryodhana. It's fantastic. I'm in love.
4. The vibes. The VIBES >>>> . I feel like I'm sitting in front of a window, and it's raining and I'm having chai and pakoras whenever I open my tumblr and it's the best feeling ever.
5. Love the fact that people rant about their exams on here. Especially CBSE. I'm in college now, so it gives me immense and a somewhat twisted joy in laughing about the torture CBSE is putting them through, because, well, my time with that wretched institution is done.
6. The correlations between the supposed western world with indian mythology have my heart. I love how this generation of desis finds similarities in real life to what is written in the epics. For instance, I read a note on krishna and subhadra arguing over the TV remote!!
7. I just witnessed the circulation of Mahabharata memes and desis hating on yudhishthir (and rightfully so, he was an idiot who thought that keeping his wife as a prize in a fucking ludo game was wise) and I have never felt more content.
8. Just had an indepth argument/conversation/whatever we do on tumblr about how a golgappa's rightful name is gol gappa and not panipuri Or phuchka. I feel obligated to let you know that I have crowned myself the winner of this debate.
9. Just found out that draupadi invented golgappa. I owe this discovery to point no. 8. We, as a nation, owe her everything.
10. Found a really nice krishna-balram-subhadra appreciation post a few days back and I love how it was so eloquently written <3
11. SO MANY RRR FANFICS. I absolutely love the ram x bheem love stories ohmygod. I've also come across some smutty ones on tumblr and I've got to say- we have an active imagination 😏
12. All my mutuals loved the latest dad joke I posted- it's getting so much attention, I love it 😌
13. All of desi tumblr us freaking out about the indian origin candidates for the position of Britain's prime minister and I love the irony of how the country that colonised us for 200 years will maybe have an Indian origin prime minister 😌
14. I recently posted about how chicken tikka masala was Britain's national dish and I LOVED the responses xD
15. Adopting recent Instagram trends into indian mythology!! I just saw the "she's a 10" Trend being adapted to Indian Gods and Goddesses 😭💓
16. The shayari on the moon by desis is the reason I live.
(I'll be editing this whenever I find more reasons, but please add to the list!!!)

It breaks my heart to see how we have crushes on other people, but never tell them how we feel just because we are afraid of scorn. I've also been victim to this and I've got to tell you, it's not a good feeling.
When I was younger, I was perfectly fine not telling any of my crushes how I felt. But the older I get, and the more I realise that my crushes aren't actually angels who've dropped onto the surface of this planet and are just normal people, it's gotten harder.
Now, I just acknowledge the fact that I have a crush and I leave it at that. I don't pursue it, and even if I do, I never do it directly, because I'm SO scared of rejection; and funnily, I've realised that it is this that hurts me the most.
I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how to navigate a world where people swipe on profiles and put "DTF" In their profile bios. I don't want to be called cute and I don't want compliments on my curls. I want something real, raw and breathing. But it feels like my own limitations and the world's way are always getting in the way.
I don't know what to do.

Desi Dark Academia instances in my life:
1. My mother turning her dupattas into kurtas for me to wear at home/college.
2. "Gorentaku" (means henna in telugu) Or mehendi (in hindi) making traditions established by my grandmother.
3. Me trying to decide between what to drink- filter Coffee or Chai ( I choose filter coffee mostly, being very south Indian, but being brought up in gurgaon has its effects, and thus masala chai it is, for this pseudo-north indian 😌)
4. My friends and I obsessing over chaand baaliyaan after listening to the song chaand baliyan (Aditya A) and imagining ourselves to be the girl to whom the song was written for <3
5. Eating mangoes with my hands!!!!
6. Pestering my mother to get various varieties of mangoes (langda, romani, dusseri, banganapalli, alphonso, malgova, badami, and so many more) and promptly finishing them the day they were bought.
7. My parents getting me those single string payal- and me feeling like a princess whenever I wear them and walk around, listening to them make the most beautiful sound 🥺
8. Telling the tailor to cut my saree blouse lower, so as to show a lil something (iykwim 😏) and my mother vehemently protesting but finally agreeing.
9. Agarbatti
10. My mother/grandmother/me winding a string of jasmine flowers into my hair.
11. Nazar uttarna 🧿
12. Listening to pasoori on loop- I have now completely memorised the song 😙
13. This playlist (not mine, found it on Tumblr) : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/40IXYdtmbuNl8zFMgRLbPn?si=zO4kSknpTXWWufjvBgy3Yw&utm_source=copy-link
14. My Mom calling tortillas rotis 👀
(I'll be adding more whenever I find more, but let me know your favorites!!!)
