#rlly culturally significant the way half saris are specifically where i’m from

[kisshim]

another thought on nhie where maitreyi’s character always wears a half sari when there’s a special occasion …🙁

#i love it i love it i can cry about how i love it #wearing half saris isn’t even common anymore but it is so young tamil girl of her i..i do strongly like that addition #simply bc there have been too many moments in my life where i’ve had to explain to people that i don’t really wear lehengas bc it’s not #rlly culturally significant the way half saris are specifically where i’m from #also can we all please bring back the casual half sari 🙏🏽 idgaf if homelanders call me a weird NRI bc actually i’m not even an nri 😭 #i’m an oci. anyway #i love tamil girls i love her she’s also gorgeous have i mentioned that #also for obvious reasons people hate on the show and say it’s shit representation and we don’t need representation #but speak for urself motherfuckers😭 this is exactly who i was #it’s hard to be a south asian girl in america period. i hated being indian for so long it’s a process ok🥲 #people who hate on the rep prob grew up in fucking edison or the bay area #and at the end where she’s with ben and she’s still wearing all her jewelry and her bindi … that’s smth else #i have a strange relationship with wearing a bindi in public bc my mom told me i’d get hate crimed🙁 #anyway that’s enough for today
