Mothers and Daughters are just each other's broken mirrors
You're all I can never be, and I'm all, you couldn't be..
I hope it gets easier for you to live in the now. To remember that you're here, in the present moment, that you're safe, even if your mind is thinking of the worst case scenario. You will overcome every obstacle when they arrive, but right now, you can rest.
"Yuhi koi mil gya tha sare rah chalte chalte..."
I haven't met all of me yet.
Such a terrifying and lovely thought, all at the same time.
Things Desiblr made me realise & do :
That it's actually really cool to be a Desi .
Old Bollywood movies >>>>
Every Desi girl should wear saree and wear bindi and feel like a retro Indian movie star.
Indian history supports queer people , so whenever your aunt is being homophobic , proudly say her , she knows nothing !!!!! If you wanna know more read "Shikhandi " by Devdutt Pattanaik .
What as an Indian man are you doing if you aren't writing poetry?
That nothing can compare to Indian humour .
Indian goddess are the actual baddies .
Haseena's and brown munde's >>>>> rest of population.
Ittar >>> perfume .
Urdu & Persian poetry are top tier .
Kannada devotional writers like Akka Mahadevi are like diamond in the dust .
A gajra >>>french kiss.
Jasmine & lotus are not just flowers .
Pasoori rules the world right now .
Be free like Geet and bounce back like Bulbul .
Madhubala is the embodiment of being gorgeous and cute at the same time .
Rekha is a Siren .
Learning Sanskrit is a rich experience .
Draupadi's vengeance created wars , so can yours .
Kishore Kumar for rain , Lata Mangeshkar for prem .
Alka Yagnik for feeling confident .
Indian rap is richer and sounds more poetic .
96 sanskrit words for love >>>>> the word love .
South Indian movies have the perfect balance of romance and action .
Khanjar is mightier than a sword.
Ye Maharani banke kaha ja rahi hai >>>> you look beautiful honey.
The tension between me and a cute boy at a puja pandal >>>>>>> speed of the earth rotation .
Gold >>>> any other metal
Chandni raat is for romance .
Talk to me in ghazals and geets only !
And many more .......
Writing this made me love being an Indian more !!!!!
If you want add yours , I'd love to read.
When Arijit said Chanda bhi deewana hai tera jalti hai tujhse saari chakoriya
When Rafi said Yeh Chaand sa Roshan chehra and Chaudhvin ka Chaand ho, ya aftaab ho
When KK said Chaand Teri roshni ka halka sa ek saaya hai
When SP Charan said Visukkune velade chandamamne nuvvunte Naa panentane
It has been proved time and again in Desi music that the most romantic thing is to compare your beloved with the moon!
Do you ever feel like you're whole personality is based on old hindi Bollywood songs which you're dad made you listen forcefully in childhood saying "gaane to humare jamane mein hote the" but now you're so obsessed with it and crave the same old school love but you can't get that feels in this generation and at last you feel like you born in the wrong era.
Creating Desi asks because I have nothing to do
1. What's your first language? Are you more comfortable in it than english ?
2. Which state are you from and do you like it ?
3. Favourite Indian city ?
4. A Indian language you don't speak but would like to learn?
5. Favourite Indian classical dance? and why?
6. Favourite holiday destination in India?
7. Favourite festival and why?
8. Favourite traditions (or superstition) and why?
9. Something that makes you glad you are Desi?
10. If you weren't born in desi countries which country would have been born in?
11. Have you ever thought of leaving this country?
12. Favourite Indian singer and song?
13. Favourite film from any language?
14. A core desi memory?
15. Favourite person from your extended family?
Chalo बाजार ghumau!!!
Pyari pyari chije kharidenge,
Har chij aur jagah ki tasweer lenge,
Rickshaw me pass pass bethenge,
Tanhayi se bahar aa kar bhid-bhad ka lutf uthayenge,
Thand me bhi kulfi kha kar muskurayenge,
Kisi imaarat par chhad kar hum nazare ke bajaay ek dusre ko dekhenge,
Kitabo ki baat par apni apni raay batayenge,
Murjhaye huye gajrey ko kitabon me sajayenge,
Naye jhumke ko kaano me lagayenge
Yun hi ek haseen sham hum sath me bitayenge
““Moose Wala could’ve lived anywhere he wanted. But he chose his village, his parents and his people,” Mr Happy says. “He not just held on to his village identity but also sought to elevate it, despite its complexities.” Mansa district, where Moose Wala’s village is located, is widely seen as a backward region - it has one of the highest farmer suicide rates in Punjab and high unemployment levels and a serious groundwater crisis. “People don’t want to be identified with the region - they want to leave and never come back,” Mr Happy explains. “But Moose Wala was different. He took pride in his roots and his music urged listeners to proudly accept the village as home.” This is captured most powerfully in Tibeyan Da Putt (Son of the sand dunes), signifying the semi-arid landscape of the region. “We do not belong to noble families/ Brought-up in the village and townships/ I don’t have any existence of my own/ Yet, influential people fear me,” the lyrics say.”
— Zoya Mateen, ‘Sidhu Moose Wala: The unsettling legacy of the rapper’s protest music’, BBC
Gulzaar sahab kahte hai ki "Budha hone me koi der lagti hai?? Ek zara sa gham lag jaaye to aadami budha ho jata hai"
Kafka wrote "it would be better if you didn't come, since you have to leave again" but Faraz sahab wrote " Ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa, aa phir se mujhe chor jaane ke liye aa"
Yeh laali, yeh kaajal, aur yeh zulfein khuli khuli.
