This playlist is very special to me because I've always been a sucker for eye contact (lots and lots of eye contact) (I'm very old school that way)

And please please suggest me songs if I missed any 🥺 (specially non hindi music)

[desidarkacademichoe]

I like the songs where the woman's point of view is expressed and all of these songs do that and I love it so yeaa :)

[desidarkacademichoe]

Going to Uttarakhand and reading/ writing is literally all I need

It's fascinating how a language which is neither your mother tongue nor the local language of your state can have such a profound impact on you. How listening to the music in that language can bring so much peace and bliss to you.

Here's a list of the beautiful songs in Stories by Rabindranath Tagore.

Not an exhaustive list but I'm thankful to these youtubers (specially Not a Cinephile)

I remember yearning for these songs since they weren't (and arent) on spotify but youtube came to our rescue!

I joined Tumblr last year because of my ex and thankfully found an amazing space to express myself w/o the embarrassment of having different interests from my peers.

Left this place after breakup, also coz I got myself into other stuff. But no matter what, this place is so close to my heart. I genuinely discovered and accepted such an imp part of mine here.

Learning Rabindra Sangeet is also in my bucket list tbh

किसी की मुस्कुराहटों पे हो निसार ... किसी का दर्द मिल सके तो ले उधार .... किसी के वास्ते हो तेरे दिल में प्यार ..... जीना इसी का नाम है |

To offer yourself for someone's smiles,  To share someone's grief,  To have love in your heart for someone, This is what life is all about. 

- Raj Kapoor, Anari

ये गलियाँ ये चौबारा, यहाँ आना न दोबारा अब हम तो भए परदेसी के तेरा यहाँ कोई नहीं |

कल भी सूरज निकलेगा, कल भी पंछी गाएंगे सब तुझको दिखाई देंगे, पर हम न नज़र आएंगे |

आँचल में संजो लेना हमको, सपनों में बुला लेना हमको; अब हम तो भए परदेसी के तेरा यहाँ कोई नहीं |

ye galiya ye chaubara, yaha aana na dobara ab ham to bhaye pardesi ke tera yaha koi nahi

kal bhi suraj nikalega, kal bhi panchi gayenge sab tujhko dikhayi denge par ham na nazar aayenge

aanchal me sanjo lena hamko, sapno me bula lena humko; ab ham to bhaye pardesi ke tera yaha koi nahi

Tum ne jo ab apni khudgarzi me mujhko kho diya, ab duhaiyaan na dena. Toofan sare jo ab khatm ho chuke hai, aansuon ko apne sambhal kar kharch karna. Humari mohabbat ka sila jo judaai likh diya hai, humari dosti ko apne dil me humesha ke liye panah dena.
