Hello beautiful people out here!
I am Deepali. I am from Pune, Maharashtra. I am 21 years old (shaadi ki umar)
Desi fleabag? Because I relate the most with that specific character. Horny, messy, vulnerable, and crazy all the time but also considerate, expressive, and kind. I am a desi version of her.
🎀What I like? I like to dance, sing, journal, write poems and stories, and doom scroll all the time
📍Professional side of me
I did my bachelor's in philosophy. I have been working in an organization for quite a long time. I am a content writer. I am a writer/poet. I am an open mic performer. I have performed at esteemed platforms like tapeatale, poemsindia, kommune, and many more. I am a psychology and sociology student too. I am a co-facilitator and youth lead in different schools through my organization. I have worked on poetry anthology books.
The most important part of my life is being a poet or a writer. It's been a decade since I started writing, and professionally, it's been two years. My poetry and stories revolve around different and unique topics like mental health, family dynamics, feminism, societal norms and culture, romance, life intricacies, friendship, etc. I love being a poet and telling people stories about me and the world because I believe poetry is everywhere. I have a blog called Sip and Sofa Stories where I share the most wholesome blogs and fun-to-read stories.
Not much of a reader, but I like reading poetry by Sylvia Plath and more female writers.
💌 Movies and songs? I am a die-hard fan of Bollywood. I listen to 2000s Bollywood and retro songs. No one can challenge me the way I vibe on these songs and dance. My childhood is memorable because of Sunidhi Chauhan, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, RD Burman, Asha Bhosle, Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Arijit Singh, and many more artists. I also listen to Kpop, pop, indie type of music on days when I am dissociating at the fullest. Hold my clutcher, I am a Swiftie and Lana Del Rey fan too, bitch.
I love Bollywood movies, and I am yet to discover more Western movies. I have a bunch of comfort movies like Ye Jawani Hai Dewaani, Piku, Om Shaanti Om, etc.
🪕 My aesthetic type? A combination of Geet and Piku and a little bit of Poo vibe sometimes. But I love desi clothes. Kurti, jhumkas, bindi, bangles, oh god I love being a woman.
Interesting facts about me :
🌸I have three tattoos on my body (Crescent moon, "you're on your own kid" title, "grateful"). I love getting tattoos!!
🥃Loneliness who? I go to bars, cafes, and parks alone because why not. I fear no god.
💛I never was in a relationship, just some hardcore crushes who crushed my soul.
❤️🩹I have been in therapy for almost three years and on and off on meds. GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) gang assemble!
😶🌫️I love and hate spending time on LinkedIn. Girl boss era.
💬I write poetry about my crushes and defame my ex-friends. They know it very well! Lol.
I am a hopeless romantic and a professional delusional person. I will cook the best scenarios in my head and write about them. I romanticize life on another level though there are 156 rupees in my bank account by going to aesthetic cafes.

Random shit, that's right. Relatable kinda shit , random funny looking pictures , memes and rants. In short everything that would show a sense of carelessness towards life and people. Because let's be honest , we all are struggling with stuff one way or another. So ig it's better to deal with that shit by making it somewhat random.
But but but, at times I may tap into my devdas zone, and post or reblog something kinda sad. ( Not negative or something devestating, just simply sad) Something that may or may not touch that hidden empty void in your heart.

🌸 relationship status :- in love- hate relationship with my life.
🌸I am in love with the idea of being in love.💌
🌸I get lost in my books every now & then ( I won't be posting anything about what I read , in this blog, because I cannot tolerate listening to anyone having an opinion on why they don't like a character that I may be obsessed with at that very point of time. I will get defensive and that won't end good . I know me)

Being Queer and Finding Love
As an amab (male) queer who is attracted to women more than men, I somehow relate to this (the above meme). It's frustrating and deeply depressing.
Ashutosh | 31st October 2024
It gets fucking lonely. I can't be queer and also flirt with a woman I'm attracted to, because then she just might think I'm that "gay friend" she can go shopping with (as much as I love shopping, myself), and whom she can set other men up with. It literally robs me of my own queer experience!
Love is an impractical dream if I want to just be myself, viz, if I'm not overtly masculine (but simply queer, non-binary)— and I don't like being masculine all the time! It's exhausting! As proud as I am of my queer identity and even to wear it around, I am also afraid to reveal it (in this case, to women I feel romantically for). Love has always been so far out of my reach—or, perhaps always only a touch out of view—that it justifies my loneliness, which in turn, justifies my constant desperation for love when I seek it out. My identity as "queer" is often co-opted, and I am reduced to a sidekick, my attempts at flirting (or, in better words, at courting love) dismissed as merely platonic actions.
Pardon the apparent "paranoia," for it actually isn't. It is an anxiety. And it is born from an apparent pressure— an unnatural pressure to 'act' overtly masculine, to mask my true self from the love I want to court. Love then feels like deception, and there is nothing I hate more than deception, the sheer insincerity subsumed in it. I don't feel free to love sincerely, honestly. And that pressure is external to me.
As a result, I often have to choose between being queer and finding love. Love can be found anywhere, not just on dating apps. But lately, in the real world, access to love is socially regimented in time, space, and methodologies, constructs which I recognise but do not intuitively understand. Outside of the realm of dating apps, and the meaningless hookups and superficial dates (romantic meet-ups) that reek of reluctance/avoidance that follow, finding love organically is an awkward game of chess. When I fail to make my move, I tell myself and others that I am shy—maybe I am—but really, I am terrified. And the game of love is so scary, that being queer feels easier, even if it isn't complete, even if I am incomplete. At least I exist, even if it's in the friend-zone. At least people are being "nice" to me. At least it "feels" like I have friends. At least this, at least that.
And when did love become a game of absolutes where there are winners and losers, success and failure, fuckables and unfuckables, sigmas and simps, alphas, betas, romeos, creeps, chads and charlies?
I was born to love. But love feels like an unfulfilled promise, and so do I.
Fin.
Post scriptum:
It physically hurt as I wrote this, because even I only realised this just now. Now I have to come to terms with it. This is my reality.
I can still feel a weird "surge" in my chest... Some kind of "welling up" in my chest cavity... Reminds me of SRK's film, "My Name is Khan."
Here are some songs that compliment this blog post...
Lyrics that hit home:
Kishore Kumar
Yeh dariya, yeh mauji, yeh sahil,
Yeh chhalki huyi mastiyaan
Hain aati nazar, kuchh kami si magar...
Jaane kya yeh nila aasmaan...
Kya khabar, kya patah... ja raha hun main kahan...?
Akela hun main is jahaan mein,
Akeli meri daastaan,
Nah manzil koi, nah saathi koi...
Jaane kya ye nila aasmaan...
Kya khabar, kya pata... ja raha hun main kahaan...?
This stanza is from a song Kishore Kumar composed himself. It is from his shelved film, "Neela Aasman," with Madhubala... it was shelved after her tragic death. Kishore Kumar wrote many of his songs himself; some of his songs were actually poems which he wrote as a young student. Jhumroo is one example.
Every time I listen to Kishore Kumar, I somehow feel like I have known him personally. I relate with him very deeply emotionally.
Beyond his known flaws, and the obviously charismatic jolly-good-fellow personality that is reflected in his popular songs and films, some of his poetry and music reflect a part of his personality which seems, however, forgotten. Apparently, he was a very deeply emotional man, and some of his very rare songs reflect his loneliness and almost hopeless yearning for true love, while songs like Jhumroo, which reflected hope, resilience, and perseverance, compensated for such depressing finalities.
Imagine Dragons—
I'm a reckless mistake,
I'm a cold night's intake,
I'm a one night too long,
I'm a come on too strong.
All my life I've been living in the fast lane,
Can't slow down, I'm a rollin' freight train.
One more time,
Gotta start all over,
Can't slow down,
I'm a lone red rover.
I'm a hold my cards close,
I'mma wreck what I love most,
I'm a first class let down,
I'm a shut up sit down.
I am a head case,
I am the color of boom
That's never arriving,
And you are the pay raise,
Always a touch out of view...
And I am the color of boom...
Oh! How did it come to this? Oh!
Love is a polaroid,
Better in picture,
But never can fill the void...
I'm gonna get ready
For the rain to pour heavy,
Oh, let it fall,
Let it fall upon my head.
Need I explain?
*****

Retro music is my first love #2
This song just hits hard. It's really hard to write a poetic song of a heartbroken lover expressing his agony in front of his ex-lover. These lyrics written by great Lyricist Majrooh Sultanapuri hits very differently.
youtube
After all this song's sung by Great singer Kishore Kumar, that's going to be legendary right? He has immersed those painful expressions into the song that makes it so emotional.
R D Burman's music just slays everything. This song is one of his great compositions.
This song is from a romantic mystery thriller cult classic movie Anamika starring Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan.

Mohit Chauhan’s Unforgettable Collaborations with A.R. Rahman
The Indian music industry has been blessed with many remarkable voices, but few have managed to carve a niche as unique and enduring as Mohit Chauhan. Known for his soulful renditions and emotive singing style, Mohit has become a household name, leaving an indelible mark on Bollywood and beyond. With a career spanning decades, he continues to resonate with audiences of all ages, making him a timeless figure in the world of music.
The Early Days: A Melodic Journey Begins
Born on March 11, 1966, in the serene hills of Nahan, Himachal Pradesh, Mohit Chauhan’s early life was far removed from the glitz and glamour of Bollywood. His upbringing in a tranquil environment influenced his personality and music, instilling in him a deep appreciation for nature and simplicity. However, it wasn’t until his college years that he discovered his love for music. Surprisingly, Mohit holds a Master’s degree in Geology, a far cry from the artistic world he would later dominate.
During his formative years, music was more of a passion than a career aspiration. Influenced by Kishore Kumar, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles, Mohit began experimenting with various musical styles, eventually forming his band, Silk Route, in 1996. This decision marked the beginning of a journey that would change the landscape of Indian music.
The Silk Route Era: Introducing a Unique Voice
Silk Route burst onto the Indian music scene with their debut album “Boondein” in 1998. The album’s hit single, “Dooba Dooba”, became an instant sensation. Its refreshing acoustic sound, combined with Mohit’s mesmerizing voice, was unlike anything Indian audiences had heard before. The music video, with its underwater visuals, became iconic, further cementing the song’s place in pop culture.
During this era, Mohit’s voice was synonymous with indie pop, a genre that was gaining traction in India. Silk Route’s music stood out for its poetic lyrics, acoustic arrangements, and a distinct lack of overproduction, which allowed Mohit’s voice to take center stage. Although the band eventually disbanded, its influence continues to inspire independent musicians across the country.
Transition to Bollywood: A Star is Born
Mohit’s foray into Bollywood began in 2002 with the song “Pehli Nazar Mein Dari Thi” from the film Road. However, it wasn’t until “Khoon Chala” from Rang De Basanti (2006) and “Tum Se Hi” from Jab We Met (2007) that he truly became a household name. These songs showcased his ability to convey deep emotion through his voice, striking a chord with millions.
His collaboration with composer Pritam on “Tum Se Hi” was a turning point in his career. The song’s dreamy melody, combined with Mohit’s heartfelt rendition, made it one of the most beloved romantic tracks of all time. It also established him as a leading playback singer in Bollywood, opening doors to numerous opportunities.
Rockstar and Beyond: A Pinnacle of Success
If there’s one project that solidified Mohit Chauhan’s legacy, it’s Rockstar (2011). Teaming up with legendary composer A.R. Rahman, Mohit lent his voice to almost every song in the film’s soundtrack. Tracks like “Phir Se Ud Chala”, “Jo Bhi Main”, and “Nadaan Parindey” became anthems, with “Sadda Haq” turning into a youth rallying cry.
The Rockstar album was a testament to Mohit’s versatility. Whether it was the tender vulnerability of “Tum Ho” or the rebellious energy of “Sadda Haq,” he effortlessly brought each song to life. His work on this soundtrack earned him widespread critical acclaim, along with numerous awards, including a Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer.
The Essence of Mohit Chauhan’s Music
What sets Mohit Chauhan apart from his peers is the soulfulness of his voice. He doesn’t just sing a song; he tells a story, evoking emotions that linger long after the music stops. His ability to adapt his singing style to suit different genres — be it romantic ballads, rock anthems, or indie folk — is a testament to his versatility as an artist.
Another defining aspect of Mohit’s music is his attention to lyrics. Whether it’s the poetic beauty of “Phir Se Ud Chala” or the introspective depth of “Jo Bhi Main,” his songs often carry profound meaning, resonating deeply with listeners.
A Global Icon with Roots in Tradition
Despite achieving global fame, Mohit Chauhan remains deeply connected to his roots. He frequently incorporates elements of Himachali folk music into his work, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of his home state. He has also performed at various international events, representing India on a global stage and introducing audiences to the diverse sounds of Indian music.
A Legacy That Endures
Mohit Chauhan journey from the quiet hills of Himachal Pradesh to the bustling studios of Bollywood is nothing short of inspirational. Over the years, he has redefined what it means to be a playback singer, proving that authenticity and passion are key to creating timeless music. His songs continue to be cherished by fans across generations, and his influence on the Indian music industry is immeasurable.

"The Magic of Music in Desi Cinema: How Songs Define the Soul of Indian Films"
Introduction: No other film industry in the world celebrates music as much as Desi Cinema. Whether it's the grand, orchestrated musical numbers of Bollywood or the soulful ballads in regional films, music is the heartbeat of Indian cinema. In this post, we'll take a deep dive into how music has shaped and defined desicinema, from its early beginnings to modern-day hits.
The Role of Music in the Golden Age:
The 1950s and 1960s were a defining period for Indian film music. Music directors like S.D. Burman, Shankar Jaikishan, and Naushad composed melodies that became immortal. Songs from films like Mughal-e-Azam (1960), Awaara (1951), and Pyaasa (1957) didn’t just complement the narrative but enhanced the emotional depth of the story.
The early Bollywood musicals were often built around the songs themselves. Bollywood songs became a language in their own right, often conveying emotions too complex to be expressed through dialogue. Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar, the voices of the era, gave life to these songs, making them iconic.
The '70s and '80s: The Rise of Disco & Playback Singing:
The 1970s and 1980s saw an interesting shift in Bollywood’s musical landscape. Disco music entered the scene with tracks like I’m Your Baby Tonight from The Burning Train (1980) and Disco Dancer (1982), marking a more international sound. Meanwhile, playback singers like Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, and Asha Bhosle dominated the scene, creating songs that were as iconic as the films themselves.
In the 1980s, films like Sholay (1975), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), and Qurbani (1980) brought forward energetic numbers that resonated with the masses, giving Bollywood a new sound. But it wasn’t just the music; the choreography, the costumes, and the setting also came to define the genre. The popularity of the "item number" emerged around this time, a tradition that continues to define Bollywood today.
The '90s: The Era of Romance and Soundtracks:
The 1990s were marked by an explosion of musical blockbusters. The classic pairing of melodious love songs with visual grandeur became a hallmark of Bollywood during this period. Composers like Jatin-Lalit, Nadeem-Shravan, and A.R. Rahman introduced a range of sounds, from the soulful romantic ballads of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) to the more contemporary pop-infused melodies of Dil Se (1998).
A.R. Rahman, in particular, revolutionized the industry with his fusion of Western and Indian music, creating scores that broke conventional barriers. His iconic work in Roja (1992) and Taal (1999) not only changed the music industry but also brought a new era of musical experimentation in Indian films.
Modern Day: The Fusion of Genres and Global Influence:
Today, Desi Cinema is characterized by a mix of traditional music with international styles. Composers like Pritam, Amit Trivedi, and A.R. Rahman continue to dominate the soundscape, but the influence of global genres like hip-hop, rap, electronic dance music (EDM), and even reggaeton can be felt in contemporary tracks. Bollywood soundtracks now embrace a wider range of genres, reflecting the evolving tastes of global audiences.
The rise of digital music platforms like Spotify and YouTube has made desicinemas film music more accessible than ever before, allowing audiences to discover and enjoy songs from all over India. In the past decade, regional cinema has seen a rise in musical experimentation as well, with composers like Ilaiyaraaja (Tamil).
Conclusion:
Music is the lifeblood of Desi Cinema. It’s what makes us laugh, cry, and dream alongside our favorite characters. From the majestic orchestral compositions of the 50s to the pulsating beats of today, the role of music in Indian cinema cannot be overstated. In Desi films, music is not just a background element—it’s an essential part of the narrative, blending seamlessly with the story to create an experience that is distinctly Indian, yet universally relatable. Whether you're humming a tune from a Bollywood blockbuster or tapping your feet to a Tamil chartbuster, music continues to be the soul of Indian cinema.

From her early beginnings to her current standing as one of India’s top singers, Neeti Mohan’s journey to fame wasn’t an easy one. Her story is a testament to resilience, hard work, and an unshakeable belief in the power of music. This article traces the inspiring journey of Neeti Mohan, exploring the hurdles she overcame, the successes she achieved, and her evolution into a celebrated star in the Indian music industry.
Early Life and Background
Neeti Mohan was born into a musically inclined family that valued creativity and self-expression. Raised in Delhi, Neeti and her three sisters were encouraged by their parents to explore various talents, whether in the arts, sports, or academics. Growing up in such a nurturing environment, Neeti’s early exposure to music and performing arts laid the foundation for her career. Inspired by legends like Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar, Neeti’s passion for music blossomed at a young age.
Her journey began with small performances and competitions in school. Determined to pursue her dream, she trained rigorously in classical music. During her college years, Neeti continued her vocal training, adding depth and range to her voice, a skill that would eventually distinguish her in the competitive world of Bollywood music.
The Reality TV Breakthrough
In 2003, Neeti Mohan’s life changed when she joined the reality TV show “Popstars” on Channel V. As one of the winners, she became part of India’s first all-girl band, “Aasma.” This opportunity brought Neeti into the limelight, giving her a taste of the music industry and setting the stage for future success. Although Aasma eventually disbanded, Neeti’s stint with the band was a crucial stepping stone, providing her with valuable experience and the confidence to navigate the world of professional music.
After the band’s breakup, Neeti spent several years working on her craft and performing live to build a solid foundation in the industry. Her resilience during these years paid off, as she continued to make connections within the industry that would later open doors to bigger opportunities.
Breakthrough in Bollywood
Neeti Mohan’s Bollywood breakthrough came in 2012 with the song “Ishq Wala Love” from the movie Student of the Year.

She remained committed to refining her skills, taking on diverse projects, and constantly improving her voice and technique. This focus on continuous growth kept her in demand, and soon, she was regarded as one of the most reliable and talented voices in Bollywood.
Expanding Her Horizons
As her reputation grew, Neeti Mohan began exploring projects beyond Bollywood playback singing. She performed live at concerts worldwide, bringing her music to an international audience and showcasing Indian music on a global platform. She also ventured into television, appearing as a judge and mentor on music reality shows like The Voice India and Indian Idol Junior. Her mentoring role allowed her to guide aspiring musicians and give back to the music community that had supported her.
Neeti also collaborated with international artists, adding diversity to her musical portfolio. By stepping outside the Bollywood box, she demonstrated her flexibility and openness to experimenting with different sounds and genres. This boldness in expanding her creative boundaries has solidified her status as a well-rounded artist.
Personal Growth and Artistic Evolution
Over the years, Neeti Mohan has grown not just as an artist but also as an individual. Her marriage to actor Nihaar Pandya marked a new chapter in her personal life, and the couple often shares their positive outlook on life with fans. Balancing her family life with a successful music career, Neeti continues to set an example for aspiring female artists who look up to her as a role model.
Her dedication to personal growth is evident in her music. Whether she’s working on a soft romantic number or a powerful anthem, Neeti’s voice reflects her life experiences, making her performances more relatable and authentic. Her evolution as an artist has allowed her to connect with fans on a deeper level, making her not just a singer but an emotional storyteller.
Recent Work and Future Goals

Remembering screenplay writer/ lyricist Vrajendra Gaur on his death anniversary.
Shankar Jaikishan and Vrajendra Gaur, a Very Good Association
The extremely successful Shankar Jaikishan and the prolific dialogue and screenplay writer, lyricist, Vrajendra Gaur came together in 1960 and worked for seven movies in fifteen years. Everyone of the movies had very good screenplay and dialogues with excellent music.
Singapore (1960): Produced by F. C. Mehra, the movie was directed by Shakti Samanta. Vrajendra Gaur wrote the dialogues.

With his mellifluous tone, impeccable control, and emotional depth, Sanu became the voice of romance for an entire generation.

Born Kedarnath Bhattacharya, Kumar Sanu rise from a musically inclined family in Kolkata to becoming the reigning playback king of Bollywood is a story of immense talent, relentless hard work, and impeccable timing. Even decades later, his songs continue to evoke nostalgia and remain beloved by audiences of all ages.
The Early Years and Musical Foundations
Kumar Sanu’s musical journey began under the tutelage of his father, Pashupati Bhattacharya, a noted vocalist and composer of classical Indian music. Sanu was exposed to music at an early age, learning classical music and mastering the tabla. Despite his strong classical roots, Sanu’s heart gravitated toward contemporary film music, a decision that would eventually set him on the path to stardom.
After completing his studies at Calcutta University, where he earned a degree in commerce, Sanu began to perform in local concerts and small shows. He was deeply influenced by legendary playback singers like Kishore Kumar, whose singing style inspired Sanu to develop his own distinct voice and technique. His early career was marked by struggles as he sought opportunities in an industry dominated by established icons.
Breakthrough with Aashiqui
The turning point in Kumar Sanu’s career came in 1990 with the release of Aashiqui, a musical blockbuster directed by Mahesh Bhatt and featuring music by Nadeem-Shravan. The album’s success was unprecedented, and it became a cultural phenomenon. Songs like “Dheere Dheere Se,” “Nazar Ke Saamne,” and “Jaane Jigar” became instant hits, with Sanu’s soulful voice striking a deep chord with listeners. Aashiqui not only solidified Sanu’s position as a playback superstar but also set a new benchmark for romantic music in Bollywood.

Kumar Sanu’s career is defined by his fruitful collaborations with some of Bollywood’s most iconic music directors. The Nadeem-Shravan duo was instrumental in shaping his early career, but his partnerships extended to other maestros like Jatin-Lalit, Anu Malik, and Himesh Reshammiya. Together, they produced timeless melodies that continue to be loved to this day.
From the soulful “Tujhe Dekha To” in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Jatin-Lalit) to the peppy “Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen” in Baazigar (Anu Malik), Sanu’s versatility allowed him to excel in a wide range of genres. Whether it was a heart-wrenching ballad or a high-energy dance number, his voice brought a unique texture that enhanced the cinematic experience.
Accolades and Achievements

Between 1991 and 1995, he won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for five consecutive years — an unparalleled achievement in Bollywood history. Some of the award-winning songs include “Ab Tere Bin” (Aashiqui), “Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai” (Saajan), and “Ek Ladki Ko Dekha” (1942: A Love Story).
In 2009, Sanu was honored with the Padma Shri, one of India’s highest civilian awards, in recognition of his contributions to the arts. Beyond the awards, the sheer volume of his work — over 25,000 recorded songs in multiple languages — is a testament to his dedication and talent.
Sanu’s Influence on Modern Music
Even as new singers and musical styles emerged, Kumar Sanu’s influence remained undeniable. His songs are often reimagined in contemporary films, ensuring that his legacy endures with younger audiences. Tracks like “Dheere Dheere Se” have been remixed and reintroduced in Bollywood, with Sanu’s voice serving as the gold standard for romantic playback singing.
Aspiring playback singers continue to study his techniques, particularly his flawless pronunciation, emotive expression, and ability to maintain pitch perfection. His work serves as a masterclass in blending technical expertise with emotional depth.
Legacy and Timeless Appeal
What makes Kumar Sanu’s music timeless is its universality. His songs don’t just belong to the 1990s; they transcend eras, evoking feelings of love, heartbreak, and joy that resonate with every generation. Whether it’s a grandparent reminiscing about the past or a teenager discovering his tracks for the first time, Sanu’s melodies remain relevant.
Beyond music, Kumar Sanu has also been involved in philanthropic work and other artistic ventures, further cementing his reputation as a multifaceted personality.

Like A Bollywood Love Song
A/N: Saw a post about autorickshaws, got inspired, wrote this. Bon appetit.
____ “I can’t believe you,” Alec said, shaking his head, his wind-ruffled hair messing up even more. Magnus grinned at him from across the black canvas, his hairstyle surprisingly agile considering the wind battering him from all angles.
“Why?” Magnus asked, raising his voice so he could be heard over the tututututututut of the autorickshaw. “What’s wrong?”
Alec’s eyes widened incredulously. “Who on Earth travels like this?!”
Magnus shrugged, which wasn’t all that easy since one hand was tightly gripping the rod framework, in the little space between the two, non-invisible Indian hands that were already holding onto the rod. The other was stretched across the canvas that formed the roof of the autorickshaw, clutching at Alec’s arm, right above his elbow. Alec was in a similar position to him, the two of them hanging off the sides of the autorickshaw. It was a result of Magnus’s plan to glamour themselves and hitch a free autorickshaw ride.
In Magnus’s defense though, he hadn’t anticipated the large family that wanted to catch the same autorickshaw that they were occupying. Or that the family would occupy every single corner of space in the autorickshaw, including both sides of the driver in the front. Which was how they ended up here now, feet balanced precariously on the edge of the metal floor, holding on to the rickshaw while it manoeuvred through several turns and streets while one of the family members rattled off the address in Marathi.
Looking back on it, Magnus realised that they could’ve just gotten off and found a different autorickshaw, but he let it slide. Sometimes you had to give into the silly, stupid things. Even if it included the wind slamming into you while riding standing in an open rickshaw and holding onto your beloved’s bicep.
“I’ve seen a lot of Indians do it,” Magnus said now, with another shrug. “They we’re all mundanes, and they turned out fine. We’re a warlock and a shadowhunter. We’ll be more than fine.”
Alec scoffed, but he was also smiling, so Magnus considered it a win. The autorickshaw was now ambling along a street lined with yellow streetlights and an orderly row of mismatched houses, their rusty steel gates flanked by a tree or two. The rickshaw finally came to a stop outside one of the houses, and Magnus hopped off so that the family could get out without slamming into his invisible body and freaking out. Once everyone had climbed off, he and Alec got into the autorickshaw, slumping back against the large backseat.
“Finally,” Magnus huffed, flexing his fingers.
Alec narrowed his eyes towards the driver, who was talking in agitated tones to one of the men from the family. “What’s going on there?”
Magnus listened to their conversation for a few moments, then said, “The driver wants more money. He says he wasn’t warned about how far from the highway this house is.”
“Oh,” Alec chuckled. “I can’t say I disagree.”
Magnus laughed along, resting his head against Alec’s shoulder. They sat in silence while the two men haggled over fares, until at last, the payment was made and the driver pulled up a lever, starting the engine. Magnus straightened, intending to enjoy the rest of the ride in peace. He realised that at some point his hand had found Alec’s, their fingers interlacing with each other’s, but he didn’t let go.
The wind was more welcome now, more gentle than the battering ram it had proven to be earlier. The night was cool, and Magnus couldn’t help but glance at Alec, who was looking outside at the passing trees, his expression cool and calm and open. Alec’s hair was still rumpled, but he made no move to brush it away from his forehead. Magnus wanted to do it for him.
As they turned a corner, the driver, oblivious to the glamoured couple in the back of the rickshaw, flicked at some switch and old Bollywood songs started playing from some hidden speakers in the back. The driver was humming along, clearly a hopeless romantic, but Magnus had other thoughts in mind.
Alec’s face was fading in and out of the shadows as the golden streetlights sped by. It was a full moon night, the air was cool, much unlike the sweltering heat they had been accustomed to in the past couple of days, and the voice of Kishore Kumar floated smoothly through the air. It felt like something out of a Bollywood movie, like a cheesy Bollywood love song.
Alec’s eyes flickered over to him then, and he raised an eyebrow under all the hair blown into his face.
Magnus smiled and shook his head. It was one of those rare moments, when you want to just lie back and cherish every moment, when it feels like an illusion so delicate your own voice could break it.
And yet, Magnus spoke anyway.
“I’ve always wanted to kiss someone in the back of an autorickshaw,” he said.
Alec smiled, and his eyes lit up, soft and blue. “What’s stopping you?”
Yes, what was stopping him?
Magnus returned the smile ten folds and shifted to face Alec. He closed his eyes, and they leaned in together, their lips finding each other even in the hush and quiet of the moment. Magnus smiled into the kiss, tilting his head just so, when the vehicle jolted hard, and the couple was flung apart.
Magnus blinked at Alec, disoriented for a moment. His bottom lip stung, and there was a persistent ache somewhere at the back of his head - he must’ve banged it against one of the rods that held up the canvas. Alec had been pushed against the side of the autorickshaw, and he blinked back with wide eyes, and the two of them burst into a fit of giggles.
“Ouch,” Alec mumbled as he sidled back towards the center.
“It could’ve been worse,” Magnus assured. “It could’ve been a mud road.”
“Yeah, I suppose so,” Alec said, chuckling and running a hand through his hair.
They leaned against each other, braving a couple more potholes before Alec spoke up again, “I feel bad about robbing this guy off his money.”
Of course you do, Magnus thought, but the thought bought a smile to his face anyway.
He shrugged with all the nonchalance he could muster. “I’m sure Goddess Lakshmi will bless him.”
Alec nudged him with an elbow. “You could be his Goddess Lakshmi tonight.”
Magnus’s lips twitched up, amused. “I didn’t realise that I and the Goddess were on the same level.”
Alec shrugged and said, simply, “You always were.”
Magnus froze, the way he always did when Alec caught him off guard, when he said things that titled Magnus’s world off-axis, and he never even realised what he was doing.
Alec bit his lip, looking worried at Magnus’s lack of response. “Did I say something wrong?”
Magnus shook his head, and his face spread into a smile once more, this one sweet and mellow. “Not at all, sweetheart. Not at all.”
Alec smiled back, leaning into the hand Magnus had put against his cheek. Magnus hastily scribbled away a mental note to summon up a wad of bills and stuff it behind the rickshaw driver’s seat, and then leaned in to kiss Alec once more.
The moon was full, the night was cool, and Magnus and Alec were kissing in the back of an autorickshaw.
Yes, it was just like a Bollywood love song.
