"Meri Body Mein Sensations Hote Hai"

"Meri body mein sensations hote hai"

"Kaise sensations?"

"Sensations jaise sarsarahaat, sansanahaat, gudhgudahaat, dagmagahaat, fararahaat, thartharahat, kapkakahaat, jhatpatahaat-

girlhood is touching your collarbones whenever you feel nervous

Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it.

[Almost crying] 

 But I'm so lonely...

Jo March little women

Sab kuchh thik chal raha tha phir achanak se yaad aata hai ke result aane waala hai

quote of the year

no no I'm actually very interested!!! pray do tell as to why you want a South Asian immigrant author's very personal book about his war-torn homeland and his fierce, flawed relationship with identity and belonging to be substituted by a South East Asian author's narrative. What makes his story replaceable? Are Asian American narratives all the same?

And, what part makes Vuong's version flawless? Is it that you think Assef was "bad gay rep" and Vuong would make it a 'proper' queer love story between Amir and Hassan, as some people posting in the tag seem to imagine??? Is it that Vuong's persona, style and "aesthetic poetry" is more in line with Tumblr's fine sensibilities than Hosseini? Are South Asians not ~ academia and poetic ~ enough for you?

Honestly, you guys are transparent af 🙏🏽💀 I give up.
