hi blue!! do u have any good kissing playlists on that spotify of yours? i love u & ur blog by the way!

“i made this playlist after spending a whole day with a boy; we kissed, we slept, we slept together. i don’t really know how to explain it, but it’s been a very long time since i felt such a raw, undeniable, intimate connection with someone. i tried to transfer that feeling in this playlist. kissing, touching, lying still while our limbs were tangled, falling asleep, bare and vulnerable with his arms around me. (falling a little in love)”

playlists (desi)

making playlists has been my favourite hobby recently and here are some of them

edit: the link were broken so I have updated them. hopefully they are accessible now.

tender hindi - soft, gossamery songs

indian miniature painting - oh to be dancing on the banks of yamuna, bacchanal in the forest, holding lilypads, with the deer and peacocks as the moon rises on the horizon

hitchhiking a truck / charpai in courtyard - folk vibes

a civilization beyond indus - ancient and medieval kingdom vibes

desi academia - chai aur kavitaen

with her past midnight in the delhi city-lights - "i fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.“ but it’s in the amber streetlights of the back alleys/balcony of a big city. [hindi+english]

tender hindi songs of night - in memory of those summer twilights when there’d be a powercut and the whole family would sit on the porch with handfans, telling each other stories

dil me jhula sa laga hai - songs about self-love and life 

existential hindi - songs with existentialist lyrics

peak desi academia is binge watching youtube videos based on your syllabus a day before the exam ‘cause online classes were a total bust

important !! please read and reblog !!

it’s unfair of us to have platforms and not use it to speak up for palestinians. i have resources provided below for how you can educate yourself on the ethnic cleansing that is happening in israel right now and how you can help.

educate yourself

thread on what is occurring in sheikh jarrah, another thread

thread of infographics about misconceptions regarding israel and palestine

free ways to help if you cannot donate

simply go to this website and click

watch this video to donate, it’s 3 hours long but just playing it in the background can help

watch this video to donate, it’s 1 hour long but just playing it in the background can help

if you are from the U.K., follow these instructions to call local MPs into action

if you are from the U.S., text RESIST to 50409 to urge congress to help palestine

thread of dua’as muslims can make to pray for palestinians

boycott israeli products

donate— it is better to donate directly to people rather than organizations, but i do have a few organizations listed.

do NOT donate to change.org

help children and hospitals affected by gaza bombing

help hungry children in palestine

donate to palestine child relief fund, known to be reputable

donate to united palestinian appeal, a direct charity

donate directly to journalist injured in gaza

ramadan zakat fund for palestinians in gaza

i’ll add more links as i continue to find reliable sources and proper donations. please dm me other resources and i can add them to this list. free palestine until it’s backwards, pray for palestinians who do not know whether they will be safe in their own country.

last but not least, if you are staying silent about this, or if you are a zionist, unfollow me immediately. i don’t need you on my tumblr.

I was thinking (grieving) about Palestine and about art as resistance to oppression. I went to find some old notes I made on Mona Hatoum’s work – apparently when I was obsessed with her I also loved a really long sentence and overusing the words ‘subvert’, ‘context’, etc 😅 anyway I thought I would share as I still find her work so incredibly moving as it describes the Palestinian experience of exile under Israel’s oppressive regime. Edward Said says it best, as usual

04.26.21 | Hello, everyone! I hope the past couple of weeks have been treating you all well. A number of things happened to me. There was a power interruption in my area so I had to go to a cafe in order to attend my classes & take two tests. It was the strangest experience & something I never thought would happen (but given the state of the world, it’s not even that unusual?). Also, due to the absence of my group’s actual leader for our presentation, I ended up with the position by default. Which is always great. 

I have some important exams coming up soon & I’ve just been reviewing (& panicking) for them. That could either mean more studying content from me, or complete silence for the next few weeks. If anyone’s on the same boat, good luck to you & we’ve got this!!

By the way, hello to so many new friends!! I really appreciate all of you who are following me! Gosh, I hope my posts are worth your time ♡

Fun fact: I took these months ago and, back then, I was this naive, young woman with an intense curiosity of what this book may bring into my life. I figured it was a heartfelt story between two boys and it’d be great and my heart would be filled with contentment and joy. Well, let me tell y’all, I am broken. Yes, that’s right, my heart’s in fragments and I cannot stop thinking abt this gem of a story. I keep thinking that they were real and alive, loved each other so much, and I’m merely an observer of a connection beyond this dimension. The amount of content I’ve consumed, the amount of existential crises I’ve went through, and this tantalizing feeling of reaching for something that isn’t there; this book brought it all to me. 

In other words, I’m not the same person anymore. No, I will never recover from this book. And yes, I will absolutely recommend this treasure to every sentient being out there. Please, please read it. And if you’ve read it already, boy we really chose this life for ourselves, huh? Achilles Come Down will forever be our anthem, I guess. By the way, I may or may not be planning to create a video edit of Patrochilles for they’ve activated my creative side once again, but I truly haven’t done creative projects in a while so I’m not expecting much. Nevertheless, I’m more inspired as ever. 

As for life updates, I’m just trying not to stress out abt college too much and savoring my last gap year month. It’s literally so crazy; I’ve grown so much as a person. I can’t believe it’s May already. There’s lots of things going on in the near future but I’m just trying not to think abt them too much since they’re not here yet. May’s gonna go by fast though; I just know it. Also, I’ve pretty much settled on possible majors and it’s so nerve-wracking yet exciting. Life is simply beautiful. I hope you’re all well!! Feel free to drop by anytime and send some messages!! 🤍✨

🎧: fire on fire - sam smith

Listen. Do it for the aesthetic. If you want to fill an entire 20 dollar sketchbook with anatomy drawings fucling do it. If you wanna get lost in the woods and come stumbling home with a bag of dried mushrooms and bones you go goblin dude. You aren't alive to go to work and hurt!! You're alive because bumblebees bump into little flowers and dandelions only open up in the sun! You're alive because cats purr when you pet them and coffee keeps you up all night!! Do everything for the aesthetic!!

oh my GOSH

idk but do you guys ever look up from reading a book and get disoriented because you’re actually in your bedroom or lying on a couch or in a library or somewhere that isn’t the story?
