Thehra Hoon, Par Ruka Nahi.

Mujse nai hogaa muje vapas baarish mein cricket khelnaa

Tujhse kehna tha bohot kuch,

Lekin kaha nahi gaya.

Itne khat likhey teri yaad mei,

Lekin tujh tak pohchaya nahi gaya.

Ab vo saare khatt,

Mere dil ki almaari mei mehfooz hai.

K kisi na kisi din kahin tu mile,

Toh tujhe sunaenge,

Tere bin kya guzri,

sabb bataenge.

••••••••••••••••

Kaash tum kuch kehdete,

Izhaar naa sahi koi ishaara kardete.

Mere intezaar ki inteha hogayi,

Baatein adhoori rehgayi.

Kuch nahi toh koi khat likhtey,

Mera haal puchte,

Ya kuch apni sunaate.

Jab dil mei koi baat ho toh kehdena chaiye,

Waqt rehte hi apno ko mana lena chaiye.

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.

my thoughts on the romantics

WOWOWOOWOWOWOWW

when i first saw the trailer for it i was so excited. this def lived up to my expectations.

i learned that i really dont know anything about desi cinema (lol) and i have alot of catching up to do on the old classics which i till now classified as outdated and stuffy and patriarchal. but seeing the artistry in the clips made me really want to go back and watch everything.

i also learned alot about the sociopolitical and economic context to alot of the movies and how it played into their success or lack thereof, which was really fascinating.

i do wish they delved more into how alot of people seem to agree that the industry has fallen off a little bit? i really cant explain it.. maybe im overly biased to the 2000s because those are primarily the movies i watched growing up. but still. i just feel it in my bones sometimes when i watch a good number of desi movies post-2010.

seeing rishi kapoor in the interviews :,) sad (also i wish they couldve gotten preity zinta and aishwariya to do interviews but oh well. i also wonder what sridevi wouldve said in her interview if she still was alive since they were mentioning her alot)

all in all, 100/10, i without a doubt will be rewatching just as much as i rewatch my favorite video essays on yt, if not more often. just amazing.

Nobody can match my freak i be collecting random trivia facts like hellaa

Akshay kumar has the funniest song, how do you explain "Tenu ghodi kinne chadaya bhootni ke"

One thing about me is if I ever love someone then I love them from the core of my soul and heart, to the extent, whole heartedly, I love them with everything I have and if I don't love someone, then I simply don't. I give no hints, no intentions nothing. I hate how people in this generation flirt with each other without having any feelings, get intimate with each other without knowing the other person's mind.

Salman khan in "I love you" song is how i act like in front of my gf

Details that make men so attractive

The slight clean scent of aftershave when come out of the shower

That gentleness and control of their hands when they touch women because they don't want to hurt them

When you can see their smile lines, even when they're not smiling

The scars on their body that they've had since they were a kid and they just never faded away.

The scratchy feeling on their face or the rough texture of their palms

The voice they start making when they're talking to a puppy

That one voice crack when they're getting emotional
