Dilbastagi si hain kisi zulf-e-du taa ke saath,

[My heart has got entangled in her plaited looks,]

Paala para hai hum ko Khuda kis bala ke saath.

[What a deadly beauty, Lord, I have come across!]

Yaad-e-hawayein yaar ne kiye kya na gul khilaye,

[When the fragrant breeze from the garden blew,]

Aayi chaman se nikhat-e-gul jab hawa ke saath.

[Breezy memories of my friend set abloom my heart.]

~ Ghazal by Momin Khan Momin, late Mughal-era poet

Translation + transliteration by K. C. Kanda

chaotic academia things I have lived (dark academia but more like dumbass academia)

(a mix of (mostly) androgynous classic academia, punk academia, rockstar gf, downtowncore aesthetics) - made by ✨ me ✨

- my glasses do not get clean no matter how much I wipe them :’)

- dispose my used/crumbled-up sticky notes in my long-finished coffee mugs

- get Dressed with makeup to boost confidence when facing creative block late at night

- untucked button-downs and jeans

- ink blots and pen doodles on my hands

- a new spotify playlist for every nuanced emotion on the human spectrum

- having a favourite colour but not owning/wearing a single piece of clothing in that colour lmaooo

- kiss my excess lipstic onto a napkin that I use as a bookmark in my poetry anthologies

- listening to jazzy renditions of contemporary songs

- wearing brown lipstic instead of red and channelling 90s ethnic lana del rey

- crumpled white shirts with pajamas + smudgy eyeliner + red lips = rockstar academic gf?

- wearing tangled headphones as-is

- sipping energy drinks slow like tea instead of chugging them lmao

- blazers w/ jeans

- vintage polo shirts w white collars

- too many empty mugs stacked in various shelves, out of the cat’s reach

- sticky notes on laptop + monitor screens

- unfinished lists in email drafts

I would like to propose a new clothing style/aesthetic: introducing ‘Sundaycore’

Mostly based on my own style, but here are some of examples of what I envision sundaycore looks like (for people with varying moods, many aesthetics, who contain multitudes like me):

My preference is mostly androgynous and modest, and mostly encompass 3 aesthetics: classic academia, 90s artsy/plant mom, and cool grandmacore.

- long plain shirts in solid colours or classic neutral tones

- also long checkered/plaid/stripes shirts

- long coats (I’m talking trench, pea, double-breasted, all of them)

- blazers (and and all, bonus if vintage/thrifted)

- pullovers and turtlenecks

- sweaters and vests

- creams, khakis, browns

- muted colours

- overalls (denim, corduroy, etc)

- loose blouses

- button up shirts

- boatline tops

- thin stripes on shirts

- long skirts

- high-waisted jeans

- colourful shirts (geometric shapes)

- mom jeans!!

Have suggestions? Drop ‘em in the comments!
