Darkness Poetry written by Me (Rupsha) --- I don’t sleep, but I wander alone in the eerie dark lanes of my memory like on a moonless night, I am numb, bizarre memories with bleak thoughts infect me with their stains. I stare at the ceiling, the moonlight pouring from the window and the fan moving in its own motion, I go dark and thoughtless from time to time like a star has burst within and I have turned into a black hole of drowning desires and dreams. I wish for twilight, the sunlight hurts my eye, I wish for sleep; I am exhausted. #flatlay #flatlaysbyworld #postitfortheaesthetic #flatlayindia #flatlaysandmore #stillswithstories #littlethingsmatter #allthingspretty #hyggehome #thoughts #musings #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #flatlay_photographers #bornoninstagram #pulpkeyxyou @pulpkey @flatlayphotographers @flatlaysbyworld @flatlaysquad @flatlayindia @flatlay #poetry #poetrycommunity P.S.

Since I saw a few people do it, I also joined the trend and put up a "Post a Picture of..." story. Got some interesting responses and shared pictures accordingly. Thought I would post these photos I shot, on the Feed as well. First one is a flatlay with my cameras and lenses as mentioned by @avinashseye, this includes my Pixel 2 XL as well. Second and third are pictures of me and Baby Yoda, as mentioned by @abujoist, next one is a picture that I took based on mention by @ma.no.gna, and the final one is a Secret Santa gift that I got, thank you @abhishek.roy1184. #samsung #galaxys7 #teampixel #karthikabhiram #flatlayindia #babyyoda (at Secunderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJLJu0crAUa/?igshid=zui90y70eirg

Natya Shashtra Most of the classical dance forms originated in temples. Worshipping was the main aim. Although every dance form evolved from different regions, their roots are the same. The roots can be traced from the Sanskrit text – ‘Natya Shastra’. The first compilation of Natya Shastra is dated between 200BCE and 200CE. Unlike folk dances, classical dances are all about technicalities and strict rules. Acharya Nandikeshawara’s ‘Abhinaya Darpan’ and Sharangdev’s ‘Sangeeth Ratnakar’ (Nartanadhyaya), along with the Natya Shastra forms the foundation of technicalities of all the classical dance forms (which includes their body movements, rasa, bhava etc). There are Nine Classical Dances as recognized by Ministry of Culture, Government of India which are Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Kathakali, Mohiniattam, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Sattriya, and Chhau Dance. #flatlayindia #indoorphotography #flatlaysquad #flatlaysbyworld #pauseandreflect #seekthesimplicity #postitfortheaesthetic #blogstyle #ngtindia #simplebeyond #stillswithstories #littlethingsmatter #bengalitradition #pune_ig #indiantradition #allthingspretty #chasinglight #thoughts #flatlaystyle #flatlayphotography #coloursofindia #cultureofindia #dancesofindia #classicaldanceofindia #historyofindia #cultureofindia #pulpkeyxyou #dancersofinstagram #dancerfeet @pulpkey @thecaravanmagazine @natgeoindia @soupgram @creativeimagemagazine (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFi8Pj5B8fa/?igshid=7c3sl6rss9cf

# Sindoor --- Vermilion, or as we more fondly call it Sindoor, is a proprietary of Indian married woman. It is customary to wear Sindoor in the mang (hair parting) across states of India. Sindoor is made up of vermillion and it is the red powder, stark red or sometimes orange in color, applied by woman post her marriage. What is more interesting is the fact, that, this customary practice of Indian married woman has a long history, dating back to some 5000 years ago, as described in Hindu texts. Historians say that it existed during the Harappan civilization. Mentioned in Hindu Epics ◦ In addition, legend has it that Radha, the companion of Sri Krishna transformed the Kumkum into a flame shape on her forehead. ◦ Draupadi too wiped her Sindoor in utter dismay and despair at the time of stripping off her saree in the Hastinapur court. ◦ In Ramayana too, Sita used to apply Sindoor to please her husband, Lord Rama. ◦ As per our traditional belief, Ma Parvati also applied Sindoor and shared her sacred sentiments on marriage and Sindoor with her women folks. But then again in many parts of modern India, why is refusing to wear sindur seen as a women not accepting the marriage or creating ill fate for the husband? I wear it at times when I like it, why make it compulsory? #flatlayindia #devi #breakingstereotypes #indoorphotography #photoseries #quarantinestories #pauseandreflect #handsinframe #seekthesimplicity #postitfortheaesthetic #blogstyle #ngtindia #simplebeyond #stillswithstories #littlethingsmatter #bengalitradition #pune_ig #indiantradition #allthingspretty #chasinglight #thoughts #musings #feminism #bengalifolksongs #flatlaystyle #flatlayphotography #coloursofindia #cultureofindia #pulpkeyxyou @pulpkey @thecaravanmagazine @natgeoindia @soupgram @creativeimagemagazine @calcutta_aesthetics @calcuttacacophony @calcutta_minimalism (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDVVtXchP3r/?igshid=ec92vurx21q1
