random desi chaotic academia things I've done:
spent the entire evening reading topics totally unrelated to my studies instead of studying and then panicking about how i hadn't learnt anything for the exam the next day.
wrapped my mother's saree haphazardly around myself and danced to my desi academia playlist at 3am and then collapsed due to the blood rush to my head.
spent an entire night reading my mother's Rabindranath-er Golpogucchho (A Collection of Stories by Rabindranath Tagore) instead of doing my homework due the very next day and ended up not submitting it.
sent random quotes of sylvia plath and f scott fitzgerald to my best friend at 2 in the morning and then talked all night about it.
danced to rabindra sangeet in my room while reciting his poetry
exhausted my 4 months worth of pocket money on books by indian authors and still not finishing even half of them.
stopped on my way back home from tuitions to buy jhumkas from a roadside stall and got yelled at for coming home late.
scattered all my books on the bed because i couldn't find the right book to feed to my emotional state.
added more and more accessories to my already unorganized jewellery box, some of them i wore once and some i have never worn till today.
had an unhealthy obsession with greek, roman and egyptian mythology for years and spent countless nights reading articles on them over a cup of masala chai.
intentionally tried to get my dupatta stuck in a guy's watch to get my very own om shanti om moment.
been overconfident in myself for an exam, spent the whole time reading articles about random topics that i will never require, thought i screwed it over and then topped the entire class.
filled up my notes app with poems at 3 am when i had an exam at 8 the following day.
fell asleep while reading a book on the floor, and woke up alarmingly early the next morning with smudged kajal, puffy eyes and a runny nose.
dried flowers from my backyard in between the pages of old books and used them as bookmarks.
had an unhealthy amount of chai to stay awake but fell asleep on my books halfway through and still passed.
Hey (with the intention of living life like them )

Relationship should be 50-50 right? So:
Tum ruth lena, me mana lunga.
Tum bolti rehna, me sun lunga.
Tum hasti rehna, me hasata rahunga.
Tum nazare churati rehna, me nazare milata rahunga.
Tum sazti-savarti rehna, me tasweere le lunga.
Tum sun lena, me bol lunga.
Tum gussa kar lena, me pyar kar lunga
Tum nakhre karna, me utha lunga.
Tum muh banana, me pareshaan kar lunga.
Tum mehndi me mera naam chhupa dena, me dhundh lunga.
Tum payal ki zid karna, me tohfe me pehna dunga.
Tum chhupke se mujhe dekhna, me nazarandaz karne ki koshish kar lunga.
Tum zulfein khuli rakhna, me unse khel lunga.
Tum apni gaud de dena, me usme apna sar rakh lunga.
Tum loriyan ga dena, ne kahaniya suna dunga.
Tum apni shikayatein batana, me apna kandha de dunga.
Tum gajrey ki khawaish karna, me la kar tumhare baalon me laga dunga.
Tum phoolo ko pasand kar lena, me tumhe pasand kar lunga.
Tum chai bana dena, me khana bana dunga.
Tum kitaben padh lena, me tumhe padh lunga.
Tum geet gungunana, me tumhe dekh "haaye" kar lunga.
Tum pyari lagti rehna, baaki sab me kar lunga.
-Om
