things I am grateful for: November '23
people who put up lights on their homes during Diwali no matter how basic in colour and shape/design. just looking out my window and looking at all those twinkling lights or when I walk down the street in the evening, it makes my heart smile.
the band cigarettes after sex. I know they have been around forever, but I only started listening to their music a few weeks ago and their "ethereal" and "dream like" music as Wikipedia describes is exactly aligned with what my soul wants to feel like when I am sitting to write after dinner in yellow lights or when I am lying down under the sky feeling the breeze on me or when I am riding back home after a socially charged evening at a house party.
the "archive" chat feature on WhatsApp because I cannot look at their face or re-hear their voice notes every time I have to open that app. so, yes, out of sight out of mind helps.
the idea that it's okay to accept things you earlier rejected as a child. you wanted to believe that the world was a better place and that humans were more tender. and it's not like you don't think that they are not now. you just know better, you are getting to know better and that is that humans are not consistent and when you need kindness the most, tragically, you may not find it. so, the quote you read as an eight year-old child (laugh and the whole world laughs with you. cry and you cry alone) turned out to be more true than the one you wanted to believe in (Promise me not to hide yourself when you’re in pain. It’s unfair that we laughed together but you cried alone.)
uncles who are cool. not creepy, not close-minded, not with big egos and wanting to always give you a "lecture" and show that they know better. but the ones who drink with you on dinners and celebrations without judging and the ones who give you your space and the ones who share stories from their youth without being preachy, only nostalgic and the ones who buy you good food.
silver. it's a precious metal alright but it's nowhere nearly as expensive as gold. so you can buy yourself a pearl + silver ring as a Diwali present. it may be a humble start but baby, it's your first precious jewelry that you bought for yourself and you know how cool that is? this is only the beginning.
rich people who bought mad big villas on the outskirts of the city right in the middle of nature and now put it up on Airbnb so that for two days once every quarter you can get out of the city and remember that you are an earth child and when you exist as one, you can sit in silence, lie under the sky, let the breeze trace your body and not have to verbalize any part of your existence — you can simply be.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I wanted to combine my two favourite holidays - Halloween and Diwali - in one art piece and thought "hey why don't I also include my newfound obsession with Hatsune Miku as well?" Introducing our Lord and saviour Hatsune Miku as Halloween Miku and Diwali Miku. I was very inspired by Project Voltage and low-key wanna do more of these holiday themed Mikus in the future.

I'm a day late woops but Happy Diwali everyone! Diwali is a Hindu festival that starts November 12 and ends the 16th! It's the festival of lights and celebrates the light's victory over darkness! In some parts of India, it's also the celebration of the goddess Lahkshmi's birth when she came out of the sea! And it can also be the celebration of when Lord Rama and Lady Sita returned to their kingdom from their 12 year exile!
So I decorated my altar space with my postcards of Lord Rama and Lahkshmi. And I was able to order a little tray in time that had little Lahkshmi and a little Ganesha, as well as an oil lamp and a place for incense cones!

Charles/Chronicle's Stanley is saying "Happy Diwali" in Indian Sign Language -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhzpgMypH5I
[Note: This is a headcanon for Charles' Stanley who is a non-practicing Hindu (Indian-America), celebrating Diwali with his new family. I may not be Hindu myself, but I am NOT being offensive as I have done as much research as I can.]
Sorry for not posting much, College is kicking me but I did do some doodles that I'll show after it finishes (so, after Dec 17th)
_Mod Giftbox
Context below "Keep Reading"
Context: Stanley, as I mentioned already, is an Indian-American non-practicing Hindu but his family distanced themselves from their culture as they live in America. This affected Stanley's speech when he tried to speak English only to be made fun of and had no one willing to teach him Tamil. So he does sign language when he's mute. He does miss parts of his culture, he is a vegetarian (he did try chicken before meeting Chronicle, and now he takes vegan or vegetarian options) and missed going to India to celebrate some of the Indian celebrations. After the Parable and Stanley having a family of his own with Chronicle as his husband in the Borrowing World, Chronicle surprised Stanley by taking him to an Indian liminal space community that celebrates Diwali and takes their family over to celebrate and stay over for a few days. Stanley was tearfully happy at how thoughtful and loving Chronicle was, he just couldn't be happier to share his culture with his family even when it's the bare minimum.

बस का इंतज़ार करते हुए,
मेट्रो में खड़े खड़े
रिक्शा में बैठे हुए
गहरे शुन्य में क्या देखते रहते हो?
गुम्म सा चेहरा लिए क्या सोचते हो?
क्या खोया और क्या पाया का हिसाब नहीं लगा पाए न इस बार भी?
घर नहीं जा पाए न इस बार भी?
~ ज़ाकिर खान

everyone talks about how festivals make them realize how lonely they actually are.
but what about the realization that comes after finding a really good friend how lonely your previous years were?
