someone asked why i have high standards of romantic love, and i said how could i not? when my best friend carries our polaroid in her wallet? when another brings me flowers each time i see her? when they notice even the slightest change in my tone? when they love me immensely so?

bro Hollywood paps have got nothing on desi paparazzi like they’re literally so entertaining and their comic timing is immaculate???? their interactions with celebrities alone could be turned into a TV show and I’d binge the heck out of it (calling Nick Jonas JIJU IDHAR??? LMAO)

growing up as an overachiever really leaves you with the fear of not living the life you so meticulously planned and not matching up to the perfect version of yourself, while crushing your soul under the weight of unrealistic expectations, unrealised dreams and chronic burnout.

i have this chilli oil theory where no matter how bland a dish is, a drizzle of chilli oil on top can make it taste utterly delicious and gourmet, and in the same way one should add the metaphoric chilli oil to every sad mundane moment or task in life to make it feel magical

my parents married in ‘98 and my dad being the only son did not want to live separately from his parents, which my mother agreed to and it was mutually decided that they’d live with my dad’s family over the weekdays and mom’s family over the weekend (and that’s what they did!)

Masaba Gupta had a court marriage, Alia Bhatt got married on a balcony: Can the common man truly shove peer pressure and relatives aside to have a a low budget, low key wedding? Or are intimate weddings only glam for celebs and when regular folks do it they’re miserly? Thoughts.

If you’ve been stressed long enough, there will come a point where you will be numb to everything. Where you once craved perfection, you can only do bare minimum. The burn out is inevitable and will teach you that you’re human after all, the heart and mind can only take so much.

For 95% of the time your partner is going to look like a tired mess in worn-out pyjamas with disheveled hair, eye bags and stomach rolls. Get comfortable with the idea of loving that, irrespective of what social media has had you believe ‘pretty’ looks like in everyday life.
