that desi street

everything you need to know about being a south-indian.

i think it's important that you know that just because a person has been with you for many years it doesn't give them an excuse to hurt you and not take accountability for it.

to my desi friends, indeed a cruel summer it is. please drink enough water and keep yourself hydrated. help yourself to tender coconut water and ice apples as much as you can. eat fruits with water in them. always wear sunscreen and protect yourself from the heat. carry umbrellas or stay indoors or just drop everything and take a vacation to somewhere cold. lots of love to you.

When you drink a hot beverage and you feel the heat spilling and blooming in your chest… There is nothing like it!

[thatdesistreet]

when the weather is too hot and you drink tender coconut water and you feel the coldness spreading in your chest... makes you want the feeling to never go away

[thatdesistreet]

i wish i could turn into a snail when i am on my period — holed up in my house, curled like a C and staying warm.

[thatdesistreet]

nothing pains you more than not being able to say yes when your bestfriend confesses his feelings for you

when you usually take a bus at the most crowded hour but one day get a half-empty bus and spend the whole ride wondering if you climbed into the wrong bus because this just doesn't happen

english teachers complementing your writing is a different kind of drug.

The worst case scenario for everyone to die or live in COT by TMI and TDA logic:

Charles lives because someone needs to continue the Fairchild line

Kit or Alexander could either live or die because of the Lightwood line

James and Cordelia live because of the Herondale line

I don’t think Cassie is going to kill Jesse twice

Alastair could either live or die depending on the baby Carstairs.

Hate to say it but Anna and Matthew are fair game but I’m hoping they both survive and/or become vampires.

Lucie and Grace are also fair game but both seem unlikely to die. I do believe they are going to be exiled/strip of their marks for crimes committed.

These are just speculations of what might happen but if anyone finds a leak pdf or spoilers please send them my way. I don’t really mind being spoiled.

Personally I think Jesse and Lucie are important to the Blackthorn line, (but there could be other Blackthorns elsewhere)

But the black and brown hair and blue/green eyes could originate from Lucie and Jesse, which I think is a really cute possibility!

[thatdesistreet]

despite all the reasons above that clearly substantiate keeping jesse alive, if cassie finds some unthinkable reason to kill him IM GONNA FLIP

people on the internet be like they can't wait for summer but this desi girl from india is terrified she's going to be fried alive this summer

[thatdesistreet]

it's funny how every new year it's me cosying up with assignments and deadlines and copy-pasting my new year wishes to people

[thatdesistreet]

it's been one day in this year and i already hate it. desi students, are you panicking over your assignment deadlines that are on the first week of jan like i am or are you secretly blessed?

reminder: don't be afraid or embarrassed to cry. sometimes it's good to let it all out instead of burying it inside.

Now that we don't have zlibrary here are some websites you SHOULDN'T use in ANY circumstances. They let you download books for FREE so you should steer clear of them unless they are legal like some of these:

Archive.org: works like a library but online, gives you access to a book for up to 2 weeks with possibility to extend. It's legal!!

Zlibrary.to: apparently a backup domain for zlibrary or something but completely separated from the normal one bc it's the only one i've found that works. Seems to have less books than the original or they are harder to find, but a big database nonetheless

Libgen: not a very nice interface but it has a lot of books too, zlibrary got many of their books from here

Project gutenberg: over 60 000 free ebooks but mostly books with expired copyright. Seems pretty legal

Oceanofpdf: pretty nice interface but idk the amount of books in there. They believe that knowledge and information should be free and accessible

Pdf drive: over 80 000 000 ebooks in pdf format. Messy interface with overlapping buttons and other things but looks like it could be used to get books easily

Z-epub: has a lot of books but only free domain. This means it's a legal website so it would be good to use

You definitely SHOULD NOT use the sites that aren't mentioned as legal above, I'm just telling you so that you know which ones to avoid!! More sites to avoid in the reblogs
