I wanttt to post my forearm pumpp
bahot ho gaya akele khidki se baarish dekhna saath mein koi ek garam chai ki pyali pilaane wala aur seene se lagane wala toh ham bhi deserve karte hain
Mohit chauhan was real rockstar in movie "ROCKSTAR"
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.
my toxic trait is thinking I can do THIS without fail 🤣
Desi Middle Class ✨Aesthetic✨
Kiraya ka ghar, chai ki tapri, buying new clothes twice or at max thrice a year during festive occasions, steel ka dabba, bigger uniform size to make sure you keep fitting into it for at least two years, feeling proud to own a Trimax pen, dada dadi or nana nani's tel malish, visiting temple towns for vacations, train journeys with lots of chips packed to munch on and mummy ke parathe or puri bhaji, having to wait patiently for your turn to use the bathroom unless and until you have two bathrooms and both of them are equally functional, never been on a flight or have been only once by luck, noticing that your dad rarely buys new shirts for himself, lingering looks on that beautiful but expensive dress, your mother touches that one lovely saree for the last time and you promise to yourself that when you start earning, you will gift her every saree she will land her gaze upon, covering rough notebooks with newspapers, start studying maths for the new school year during summer vacation, sharing a room and sometimes the same study table with your siblings, beaming at your bade bhaiya or didi when they show you how to make a paper boat/paper airplane, you are growing up and for the first time you see your older sibling break down in their room all by themselves and realization dawns that even they need a comforting hug, Tu kab badi huyi?, Wanting to gift a good car to your father with your own salary, the entire family dreams to own their own house someday, the first time you realize what a middle class family really is, fights and quarrels that always end with silent apologies over the dining table, beta doctor ya engineer? Kya matlab arts lena hai? Humare family se just pass hone vale bhi science liye? You wipe your own tears and strengthen your resolve to fight for your own dreams, parents are proud that you proved them wrong with your career and subject choice, sadly dropping out of dance, music, arts and sports classes as soon as you begin 10th grade -- lucky ones still continue them, watching Indian tv serials with mummy during afternoons after coming back from school, thoda toh pocket money badha do?? Storing money everywhere in the house, counting coins as a child and thinking yourself to be very rich, chota ghar magar sapne bade yeh hai middle class parivar ki kahani
I was watching Wagle ki duniya and later mummy and I were talking about our lifestyle after which she played a Sudha Murthy video where she was talking about the middle class lifestyle, and then I made this post by reflecting on some of my own experiences. I know that the above post doesn't still complete the middle class life there are so many things remaining but I tried my best to summarise from my own observation and experiences.
I have lived a small part of my life with the more economically advantaged groups too (samridhi just say rich) and I am seeing and have also seen the other side too that isn't as gleaming as I used to think but nevertheless it's colourful, so I wanted to write something on it as a lesson I learnt in these 3 years and for the lesson which will live with me for my future endeavours. Probably this post will also be a sahara sort of thing when I again spiral down some crying lane over my exams.
I have so many stories from my 11th 12th and drop year timeline that I will soon share because as I always believe in the end being good no matter what, be it whatever college I get in or whatever I do, this experience taught me things that no school classroom could do. I may sound like a dadi now but yes maybe in the upcoming time if some of you younger lot do stumble on this in times that seem dark and full of certainty, I hope those stories will bring hope in your hearts
Bas bhai yeh dadimaa kirdar ab kuch samay paschat

Ho… ishq ka rang safed piya
Na chhal na kapat na bhed piya
Sau rang mile tu ikk warga
Aatish ho ya ret piya, ret piya
Jis jung mein tera ho rutba
Uss jung ka main toh
Junaid piya, junaid piya
Don’t look at me like that ..
Like you never saw me before.
I don’t want anything from you.
No consolation, or trust.
No applauds, or sympathy.
No dreams, or comforts. Don’t look at me like that ..
Like you never saw me before. I’m the song you don’t want to listen.
The first fallen leaf of autumn.
A drop of tear in desert.
I’m the moment that has passed.
No way can I come back.
And that is the truth. Don’t look at me like that ..
Like you never saw me before. —– That is the translation of Aisa na dekho song from Ranjhaana. Oh my, the feels I had after ‘seeing’ that one, very moved. In Tamil, the opening is good. But the first stanza is the best. Second one, oh so-so.
“நிலா முற்றங்களில் முத்தமா கேட்டேன்?
உன் ஆயுளில் பாதியா கேட்டேன்?
பூ புன்னகை ஒன்று தானே கேட்டேன்!” Yeah, just one smile. :)
