1. Every other person is expressing their love for chai

2. Moodboards for the most obscure and wonderful things, that I can't seem to live without now

3. SO MUCH INDIAN MYTHOLOGY. I can find anything from krishna-subhadra to panchali-arjun to bheem-duryodhana. It's fantastic. I'm in love.

4. The vibes. The VIBES >>>> . I feel like I'm sitting in front of a window, and it's raining and I'm having chai and pakoras whenever I open my tumblr and it's the best feeling ever.

5. Love the fact that people rant about their exams on here. Especially CBSE. I'm in college now, so it gives me immense and a somewhat twisted joy in laughing about the torture CBSE is putting them through, because, well, my time with that wretched institution is done.

6. The correlations between the supposed western world with indian mythology have my heart. I love how this generation of desis finds similarities in real life to what is written in the epics. For instance, I read a note on krishna and subhadra arguing over the TV remote!!

7. I just witnessed the circulation of Mahabharata memes and desis hating on yudhishthir (and rightfully so, he was an idiot who thought that keeping his wife as a prize in a fucking ludo game was wise) and I have never felt more content.

8. Just had an indepth argument/conversation/whatever we do on tumblr about how a golgappa's rightful name is gol gappa and not panipuri Or phuchka. I feel obligated to let you know that I have crowned myself the winner of this debate.

9. Just found out that draupadi invented golgappa. I owe this discovery to point no. 8. We, as a nation, owe her everything.

10. Found a really nice krishna-balram-subhadra appreciation post a few days back and I love how it was so eloquently written <3

11. SO MANY RRR FANFICS. I absolutely love the ram x bheem love stories ohmygod. I've also come across some smutty ones on tumblr and I've got to say- we have an active imagination 😏

12. All my mutuals loved the latest dad joke I posted- it's getting so much attention, I love it 😌

13. All of desi tumblr us freaking out about the indian origin candidates for the position of Britain's prime minister and I love the irony of how the country that colonised us for 200 years will maybe have an Indian origin prime minister 😌

14. I recently posted about how chicken tikka masala was Britain's national dish and I LOVED the responses xD

15. Adopting recent Instagram trends into indian mythology!! I just saw the "she's a 10" Trend being adapted to Indian Gods and Goddesses 😭💓

16. The shayari on the moon by desis is the reason I live.

a little happy because i worked my ass off for this. a little sad because im not in north campus. a little optimistic because i know i'll be alright.

crying in mme, then seeing second years cry harder and shutting the fuck up

ignoring aecc courses because who studies them?

questioning my choice of major because why not? (isse acha to math hons le liya hota)

finding happiness in hanging out with classmates even if you secretly hate some of them

overwhelming yourself by taking 171901 things on side because just doing econ hons is so mainstream

and then almost breaking up with your boyfriend because you can't juggle everything

hiding books in the library so no one else can issue them

being known as the topper friend among rest of your non-du friend circle but only you know the truth

crying about 6 hours of classes on tuesdays and then stfu when you see your private uni friends attending 6 hour classes everyday

joining 5 societies in the beginning and leaving everything except one within three months

hoarding on junk jewelleries like a goblin

having 4+ different metro playlist - desi ishq, main character vibes, hoe vibes and vintage bwood

hanging out in khan market, sarojini and lajpat after classes because why not

getting jealous of your friends in pvt uni when they send snaps of their impressive campus while you sit in a poorly ventilated stuffed classroom with walls scratched with 'vote abvp'

getting random texts from juniors asking for guidance and getting embarrassed because you haven't even written boards
