Me: I am wasting today... Reading about the gay adventures of Josh Malihabadi... Tried to stab himself when his lover asked him how much he loved him... Clearly had issues lol
A: ........... Hahahaha I am so reading this book
.....
Me: Btw Josh and this other poet Saghar’s story is very filmy material...And this is just awww: “They probably met for the last time in 1967. The day that Josh died All India Radio recorded an obituary by Saghar. He broke down during the interview. In another interview soon after Josh’s death, he said: “That magician who doused flames by showering flowers on them has left the world and another like him will never be born. I have no power over my own sorrow. I have cut out his last picture from the Hindustan Times and stuck it in my diary... the mango blossoms of Malihabad await their tender who has disappeared into the unknown.” Saghar Nizami died on Februrary 27, 1983.
A: Aww so much sweetness.
Me: I hope you give me an equally fitting tribute when I die.
A: Ofcourse I will. The married uncles of Jaipur await their tender who has disappeared into the unknown...
Me: hahahah you bastard!
A: I mean it’s fitting, right? Suits you to a T.
Me: Omg how? I have never had a married uncle from Jaipur await for me! Jaipur has a shit gay crowd anyway.
