username WHAT IS THE LADOO INCIDENT?

Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is a Hindu festival celebrated with great enthusiasm across India and various other parts of the world. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Diwali typically involves lighting oil lamps or diyas, decorating homes, exchanging gifts, and enjoying festive meals with family and friends. The festival holds cultural, religious, and social significance, promoting the spirit of joy, unity, and hope.

A ladoo (also spelt laddu) is a popular and traditional Indian sweet. It is a round-shaped sweet ball made from various ingredients, including flour, sugar, and ghee (clarified butter). Ladoos are often prepared during festivals, celebrations, and religious occasions in India. They are considered a symbol of good luck and are distributed as a gesture of joy.

Needless to say, it's my favourite time of the year😁

Fire (1996): A Mostly Spoiler Free Pitch Because You Should Watch It Immediately

It's time for "An Indian QL bulldozed past my expectations and I am reeling in awe", Part Two!

A few days ago, @neuroticbookworm told me about Fire, an old lesbian Indian movie she'd been wanting to watch. Me being me, I promptly tracked it down and settled in to watch it.

Very loosely based on the 1942 short story Lihaaf, the movie follows Sita, a newly wed bride who is settling in with her in-laws, which is how she meets Radha, who is married to her husband's brother. Both in unhappy marriages, they find solace and company with each other, quickly falling in love. Length: 1 Hour 40 Minutes TWs: Homophobia, C-word mentioned once, some depictions of domestic violence Release: 1996

The is almost entirely in English, and while one generally expects Bollywood movies to be in Hinglish, it's definitely a conscious choice here, which does make me wonder if the movie was supposed to be promoted to a greater international audience. You can find it here on Youtube, most of the (very few) Hindi dialogues have hard subtitles. I think it's also available on Prime? It wasn't available in India though, which is odd, but I didn't bother investigating. Let me know if anyone can figure anything out about this!

Going into this movie, I expected a melodramatic, emotional movie with a bittersweet tone. I did not expect a biting, incredibly engaging movie with excellent satire, symbolism, discussions of chastity culture, and an incredibly sweet, beautifully written romance. And I was certainly not prepared for how incredibly horny this movie is??? Both in subtle tension and overt sex scenes. There's also partial nudity, which again, completely unexpected. If you're going taboo, go taboo all the way I suppose. It's also very well directed, and while I'm not nearly as good at identifying details like that as some of the people on here, I did pick up on some colour coding and interesting framing. It's just overall packed with little details that I think a lot of us would have a field day analysing.

Honestly, I could talk about the cultural nuances in this movie for hours. Contrary to my assumption about the reasoning behind making the movie fully in English, the movie seems to rely on the viewer's understanding of North Indian customs to deliver a lot of it's messages, particularly with its satire, more on that below. While I don't think it's necessary to enjoy the movie, it definitely does add some meat to the story. Then again, I'm a biased party, so it'll be hard to determine just how many messages may be lost to someone from outside of India without someone to compare notes with (this is me shamelessly trying to get you to watch the movie). Honestly, I'd be 100% down to write a more detailed, spoiler-including post that goes into the implicit nuances if people are interested.

There's two main selling points for the movie; the incredible way it shuts down purity and chastity ideology and the absolutely adorable relationship between Radha and Sita. The movie is set on ruthlessly tearing down and emphasizing the ridiculousness of purity culture. A lot of the messaging is indirect and uses metaphors, but there's also several explicit scenes addressing the issue. It's one of the main themes of the movie and I'm almost convinced the real reason it's titled 'Fire' is the sheer number of burns it dishes out on this subject. The romance portion of this movie is one of the thing's that completely defied my expectations. It wasn't sad and dramatic, it was heartfelt and silly and adorable. There's several scenes of the two subtly flirting, laughing together and just being lowkey in love. But that's not to say there's no emotional depth—they're also there for each other and are quite vulnerable with each other.

The movie used a lot of metaphors, but my favourites were the almost satirical representation of mythological stories. In a religion as diverse as Hinduism, every holiday has two dozen stories behind it and each story has two dozen versions, so it's to be expected that you'll find a number of problematic or otherwise kind of ridiculous stories in the mix. The stories were told completely seriously, but the context of the movie highlights their absurd facets in a truly brilliant way. I'm not going to give too much away, but I will say, it was a delight to watch the juxtaposition of the myths and the storyline of the movie, particularly it's ties to the purity culture discussion. You'll understand when you watch it. I'm not turning this into a Hindu mythology lesson (yet) but one interesting tidbit is that Radha and Sita are both names of mythological figures; namely the partners of two of the most worshipped avatars of the god Vishnu: Krishna and Rama respectively. And I was overjoyed to find that their names do have relevance to the metaphors in the story, particularly Sita's.

When the movie was first released, there were massive protests against it, I'm talking hundreds of people storming into theatres to destroy them and drive away audiences. I don't know what to say here beyond this, but what I will say is that I think Fire is an amazing movie that absolutely does not deserve to be lost to the sands of time. I hope you give it a shot, and if you do, tag me in any posts you make about it!

HISTORY//

History (Pre-DT): Sohna Yoani is the only child born to her parents Dawa and Shima, and was born and raised in Hhusatahwi, Shaaloani. Her father Dawa was killed when she was only five years old in a bandit attack, so Sohna was raised by her widowed mother Shima ever since. A few years prior to 7.0, Shima became disabled and has trouble with mobility and taking care of herself, so Sohna became her caretaker without a second thought. The mother and daughter duo moved to Tuliyollal soon afterwards in order to have more resources readily available and accessible to them. During the events of 7.0, Sohna almost died in the first attack on Tuliyollal and her mother Shima was killed, leaving Sohna with immense grief and an overwhelming need to avenge her mother and everyone else who was injured or killed in the attack.

CURRENT STATUS//

As of patch 7.1, Sohna is in Tuliyollal trying to help the people who got trapped under the dome get reacquainted with life in Tural. She also helped Koana and her tribe find a solution for the rroneek and the railroad.

NOTE: Sohna is a secondary player in the story so to speak, as she will eventually be a Scion OC but not considered a Warrior of Light nor does she have a past life as an ancient. Sohna enters the story in 7.0 and shares her canonverse with multiple Warriors of Light and other OCs, namely my other WoL OCs Hali Aloke and Yume Aino @firelightmuse, along with several of my friends’ OCs). As such, Sohna might or might not be featured in some arcs of the MSQ, and she might not be involved with some side storylines at all. Feel free to ask me for any specifics in this regard.

Trivia: Nothing of note so far

[tanadrin]

One of the most important and early successful applications of the principle of regular sound change was Hadrianus Relandus demonstrating in ~1708 that Malagassy and Malay(!) were related. In his Dissertationes miscellaneae he compared a list of probable cognates between the two languages, and noted the v/b sound correspondence. Edward Lhuyd does something similar around the same time, using Celtic, Germanic, Slavic and Persian cognates. Lhuyd partially identifies Grimm’s law again (the k/h correspondence is particularly transparent it seems). Johann Fischer notes important sound correspondences between Hungarian and other Finno-Ugric languages during his travels in Siberia; Filippo Gilij identifies sound correspondences in South American languages while living in central Venezuela. These guys are all working more than a century before the Neogrammarians, and long before William Jones, who gets an undue amount of credit for “founding” historical linguistics.

What Jones was really interested in was composing a history of Asia as a whole; linguistic matters were related to this project, but indirectly, and held to be only one line of evidence about the development of the five “races” of Asia (the Indians, the Chinese, the Tartars, the Arabs, and the Persians, as he had it) alongside philosophy, art, architecture, religion, and so forth. Classification of languages for him was a secondary adjunct to classification of peoples, and the taxonomic categories he was working--presupposed with reference to Biblical narrative--with weren’t very good. He supposed “pure Hindi” was a “Tartarian” or “Chaldean” language, to which Sanskrit vocabulary had been imported, and like many of his contemporaries he thought that Gothic and Celtic were similarly a mix of Indo-European and substantial non-Indo-European contributions--Slavic in his view was unrelated, belonging to the same group as the languages of central Asia. He also had some really bonkers ideas involving a common origin of all the big iron age civilizations (and also the Inca).

It is a little surprising, then, that Joseph Greenberg namechecks Jones as a methodological precursor to his own “lexical mass comparison.” I think this book is going to spend a lot of time criticizing Greenberg (deservedly, IMO).

[thedawningofthehour]

Btw I just want you to know that I am now also doing Hindi for the fun of it cause I want to learn a language and what other than Hindi (and I will probably continue to learn languages if I get bored I have a lot of free time) legit because galios is right I can’t read anything translated because it just ain’t the same

I HAVE STARTED SOMETHING TERRIFYING.

You guys are badass like I took French in high school and I still managed to get my dude's name wrong. All of you have my utmost respect.

BUT DAMN.

A bit of clarification-it's not that translations are untrustworthy if you don't do them yourself. For 99% of your purposes, a translation done by a professional translator will serve just fine. It's when you're analyzing the origins and intent of the text. Say for instance in the Odyssey-in the scene where Telemachus hangs the slave girls who had lain with (been raped by) Penelope's suitors. It was a big deal a few years back when classical studies professor Emily Wilson did her own translation and referred to them as girls. Because up until that point, most translations had referred to them as whores. The original Greek did not call them whores. They had plenty of words for whore, trust me, but the original text called them 'female people'. The men who did the translations over the years chose to dehumanize them and make their murder more palatable to the reader, even though that wasn't Homer's intention. (at least with that line in particular-it's been fourteen years since I had to read The Odyssey but I do remember a whole lot of 'what the fuck') That's where Wilson had to understand the original Greek, to see how the killings were originally handled and update her translation to more accurately reflect that.

Most of us are not going to be making careers out of analyzing foreign (or dead) language books. For Galois, it's important because Draxum wants him doing shit like examining ancient magic scrolls and working to create their new society, which would require an in-depth understanding of different people's cultures and laws. And it's partially a symbol of Draxum's distrust for the modern and Americanization. (humanization?) He views the current Hidden City government and much of its culture to be corrupted by exposure to humans, and plans to reference pre-migration sources when figuring out the best way to run his One World Government. (also it's good PR-Draxum wants people to like Gale)

All in all, learning a language for the fuck of it is great. I wholeheartedly support that. But for all the people who aren't doing that: translator notes are a thing! And they are your friend. You don't need to learn a whole new language to gain new insight on your favorite ancient novel, or the cool subtitled Bollywood movie you can't get out of your head.

But go ahead and do it anyway! Learning is like food for your brain, give that thing a feast. :)

[hashirun]

Alin ang pipiliin mo, maganda/gwapo na hindi matalino o matalino pero hindi maganda/gwapo, bakit?

Lol this reminds me of Max Shulman's short story titled "Love is a Fallacy" which is about a top law student who coveted his roommate's girlfriend. He noted that all the successful and powerful lawyers have one thing in common: a beautiful, graceful, and smart wife. While beautiful and graceful, his roommate's girlfriend, Polly, was most definitely not smart. But he thought "It is, after all, easier to make a beautiful dumb girl smart than to make an ugly smart girl beautiful."

He struck a deal with his roommate to give up Polly in exchange for his dad's raccoon overcoat (which was apparently making a comeback thanks to the big men on campus). He then set out on a mission to make Polly smart before asking her out by giving her lessons in logic and reasoning. However, his plan ultimately backfired when, after Polly became a proficient logician, she rejected his confession and chose to get back together with his roommate because "He has a raccoon overcoat."

So what's the moral of the story? Never mind whether the person you choose is smart or beautiful, the question is would that person choose you as well? After all, it's hard to compete with questionable taste lol.

[luxshine]

Ok. So... I've been sick and under a lot of Antibiotics. Like, seriously a lot.

The good ones too, as omg, the dreams. I will probably share them all with you at some point (Especially Law and Order: Random Kitten Edition) but there's one, that I actually took notes when I woke up from, that was so weird that I just have to share it with you guys.

Because my FEVERISH AND DRUG ADDLED Brain gave me "Harry Potter: The UNFUCKED edition" where I *think* most if not all of the really ugly parts got fixed.

To begin with a bang, Harry is not white. He is of hindi descent, from his Mom's side so Petunia and his cousin are also not white. Vernon is white, but when it comes to cultural stuff, he bows to Petunia. So his family celebrates Diwali, Makar Sankrati, Maha Shivarati, Holi... the works. There's also a lot, and I mean a LOT of cow decorations around the house.

He is also not bullied or mistreated by the Dursleys. They are VERY strict at the beginning, yes, especially Vernon who spends most of Harry's early childhood trying to keep him "normal" because he keeps saying that the nail that stands out, gets the hammer. But there's no treating Harry like a slave, he and Duddu, which was Dudley's name here (and latter google told me it was an hindu name meaning Love of sun which... wow feverish brain, WHERE did you get that trivia fact?) have a more sibling-like relationship. Harry FEELS like his life is boring and wishes something happened to him, and REALLY wishes Vernon didn't just knocked out anything that sounded like fun or different, but he is not abused.

Hermione is black, and of course, this puts her fight for the House Elves in a completely different light (AND this time, it sticks and it's not treated like a silly little thing)

Ron and the Weasleys are the same, only that because the Dursleys are not abusive, they actually become somewhat friendly at first, until Vernon loses his patience at how Arthur treats non wizards as clever little monkeys and puts him in his place. After that, they actually become friends.

The BIG change at first? Draco is not sorted in Slytherin, but in Ravenclaw, which immediately makes him a pariah to all Slytherins (aka. all his childhood friends) AND makes Lucious literally disown him via howler. Long story short, this ends up with the trio befriending him too, and becomes an arc about nurture vs. nature, this is, children are NOT evil, but they are taught to be evil and if you put all the death eater children in the exact same house? Well, it's an echo chamber and they all will grow up to be death eaters! Draco breaks free thanks to the hat sending him away. He also is the first one to help Hermione with the elves, by pointing out that sure, everyone will tell her that the elves like being slaves because the elves says so... BECAUSE they know that they will be punished if they say otherwise. So they try a different route to help free the elves which include all the non wizard born students revolting and going to help to the kitchen to wash dishes and so, as they do in their homes. At some point Dumbledore went to scold Hermione for forcing her classmates to do that, to which Hermione replied, in the kitchen, full of house elves "Ok, show of hands. Who is FORCED to be here?" and of course no one, not the house elves, nor the children, raised their hands. I liked that scene, especially as they laughed their hearts out once Dumbledore was gone.

Oh, Dobby ended up hired by Vernon to be Duddu's bodyguard instead of going back to Hogwarts. He and Petunia got along amazingly in the kitchen.

Gremlins were not jewish caricatures (no hooked noses and big ears, more like sweddish gnomes) and they are not betrayed by Harry -who, half hindu, understands the whole "uk took our treasures and called them theirs".

I remember Sirius didn't die, and that there were more werewolves so it avoided the HIV parallel with a pedophile evil, but unfortunately, I don't remember the exact details of that.

But what I DO remember is that, because of the little changes of the foursome being more kind to everyone, trying to understand others and understanding that the problem was not just voldemort but the system that created him? The battle at Hogwarts included ALL the mystical creatures from the get go. The elves went willingly to defend THEIR children (The ones who didn't treat them as slaves), the goblins were there too because hey, Voldemort was a treat to everyone. Centaurs, giants, and so on. The only ones that didn't join the fight? Slytherin because uhm... they were on the other side.

Most importantly? The Non wizard parents joined in too. (No "Oh, I will send my bewtiched parents to Australia" here). With guns, and knives, and you do NOT want to be between a hooligan and their children, becuase they will HURT you more than crucio. And the one who killed Voldie? VERNON DURSLEY with a Hunting Rifle.

Because you may have all the magic in the world, but that ain't shit against a lead bullet to the brain. (And this non evil Vernon was NOT going to let his nephew be treated like a goat for sacrifice as Dumbledore wanted)

In the epilogue that is just 2 years later, not ten, yes, McGonagall is headmistress but we get actual change. Slytherin as a house is dismantled, and a new fourth house is created. Slughorn the humble. Why Slughhorn? because he was the one who realized he was wrong, he changed his ways, and he became a better person. And that takes humility, and that is important. Harry wants to become either a healer or a teacher, all the house elves in Hogwarts are free and now work with a salary, vacation days, and the works. The goblins are no longer treated as second class citizens as Arthur Weasley, new minister of magic, changes those laws, to allow them to have wands, and have whichever work they want, not just banking, and there are at least four goblins working now in the minister, same as house elves. Because they need to have their voices heard.

And that was about when I woke up, and how the hell did my fever addled brain came up with so much, when miss Terf couldn't be bothered to even explain why "we don't tell muggles about magic because then they would want to do everything with magic" is a logical sentence in a world where we NEVER see a wizard NOT do something incredibly simple without using magic?

One thing I want to clarify: you have to have a last clear chance to mitigate in order for this to apply to you.

Voter suppression is a real, huge thing. Social pressure that results in voter suppression is a real, huge thing.

If you cannot vote because of how difficult people have made it for you to register (or impossible for you to register), you do not have a last clear chance. If voting puts you in danger (from strangers, from a family member, from anything) you do not have a last clear chance. It is absolutely 100% okay to put your own personal health and safety first if you need to.

And that goes for any issues: if you have an issue exercising your voting rights in the US and I haven't covered it here, send me a message and I will do what I can to connect you with the right resources.

In the law, there's this idea called the "last clear chance" doctrine.

If you are in an accident, and you had the last clear chance to avoid the accident, then you are, at least in some portion, responsible for the accident.

For instance, if you are driving and a car pulls out in front of you, and you could've slammed on the brake but do not, you're responsible for that, even if the turn the other car made was illegal. Moreover, you might be held partially responsible for the other person's injuries, depending on how things work in your location.

This is even true if you can merely mitigate the damage. If you have a chance to limit the damage -- again, let's say you don't brake and the result is a collision at 40MPH instead of 10MPH -- the additional damage you cause could be considered your fault.

To me, this seems very applicable to voting.

The two parties in the US are going to put a couple of candidates up in the next few months. Both of them might be dangerous. But in the end, everyone who can vote is going to have one last, clear chance to avoid, or at least mitigate, damage.

It sucks that both parties are out there driving like maniacs.

But the fact of the matter is, they've put us in this position. And if you don't put on the brakes -- that is, at least mitigate damage -- you are responsible for the additional damage caused.

In the national elections, a choice not to vote for Biden is a choice not to brake when some jerk pulls into your lane. And if there's an accident and a lot of damage -- to voting rights in general, to reproductive rights, to the health and safety and life of trans and other queer people, to education, to the environment -- then you are responsible for not attempting mitigation.

You have the last clear chance to minimize danger and damage. And while you can yell until you're blue in the face that the Democratic party put you in that position in the first place by not running another candidate, you are still responsible even if you try to abdicate that responsibility.

RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Criticizes Rising Temple-Mosque Disputes

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has voiced concerns over the rising disputes involving temples and mosques, cautioning against individuals using such issues to gain prominence. Addressing a lecture titled ‘India – The Vishwaguru’ in Pune, Mr. Bhagwat emphasized the importance of harmony and inclusivity in Indian society.

Advocating Harmony

Speaking at the Sahjeevan Vyakhyanmala lecture series, Mr. Bhagwat highlighted India's tradition of unity despite diversity. He pointed to examples like Christmas being celebrated at the Ramakrishna Mission, saying, “Only we can do this because we are Hindus.”

He underlined the significance of showcasing this harmony to the world. "We have lived in peace for centuries. If we want to offer this harmony to the world, we need to set an example here," he said.

Concerns About New Disputes

Mr. Bhagwat expressed dissatisfaction with individuals stirring up new temple-mosque disputes following the construction of the Ayodhya Ram temple, which he described as a matter of faith for all Hindus. “Some people think they can become leaders of Hindus by raking up similar issues in new places. This is not acceptable,” he asserted.

The RSS chief questioned why fresh disputes were being raised frequently. “Every day, a new matter is being raked up. How can this be allowed? India needs to show that we can live together,” he said, without mentioning specific sites or cases.

Historical Context

Delving into history, Mr. Bhagwat reflected on the rule of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, describing it as marked by staunchness. However, he noted that Aurangzeb’s descendant, Bahadur Shah Zafar, banned cow slaughter during the 1857 revolt.

He also blamed the British for sowing divisions between communities during the colonial era, which he said eventually led to the partition of India.

Equality for All

Calling for unity, Mr. Bhagwat questioned the relevance of terms like “majority” and “minority” in modern India. “Everyone is equal here. The tradition of this nation allows all to follow their own forms of worship. The only requirement is to live in harmony and abide by rules and laws,” he said.

He reminded his audience that India is governed by the Constitution, where representatives are chosen by the people. "The days of dominance are over," he said, urging all to avoid the “language of dominance” and focus on coexistence.

Through his remarks, the RSS chief reinforced the need for India to act as a model of unity and inclusivity in a diverse world. For more updates on political news India in Hindi, subscribe to our newsletter!

Dhamma in The Sign

Hearing about Dhamma, my mind immediately went to Dharma, a hindi word often used in tandem with Karma, and a quick google search confirmed that yes, Dhamma is simply the Prakrit (a group of ancient languages) variant of the word Dharma.

It's hard to explain what dharma/dhamma is is english, but I'll do my best. Dhamma is said to mean 'to uphold'. And, in some way, this is true. Dharma revolves around duty, order, and the law of nature. Everyone is born with their own dharma, and must carry it out.

One of the best ways to explain the concept of dharma is the story behind the Bhagvad Gita. I'll do my best to summarize it in a way that is comprehendable to people who've never heard of it.

We begin at the very beginning of a battle, with Arjuna, a great warrior prince. His charioteer is Krishna, an avatar (form on Earth) of the god Vishnu, one of the big 3 gods in Hinduism. Arjuna surveys the battlefield, and sees his uncles and cousins on the opposing side, realizing that he will have to fight against family, and the insurmountable bloodshed that would follow. He fears that waging this war will be adharmic (the opposite of dharma). Arjuna hesitates. He tells Krishna if his worries, who then begins to lecture Arjuna. This lecture is now known as the Bhagvad Gita. Grossly oversimplified, the crux of it is that fighting in this battle is a part of Arjuna's dharma. He is a warrior, and a prince, and this battle is necessary for him and his brothers to regain their kingdom. Fleeing from the battlefield, as Arjuna thought of doing, is what would be considered adharmic.

This is, imo, the best way I can explain the concept of dharma. It heavily emphasizes the concept of the duty that everyone is born with, and must carry out. Obviously, our dharma won't be fighting in a war, but everyone has their own dharma to carry out. Dharma and karma together shape our lives.

I'm hoping we'll learn more about Phaya and Tharn's dharma in future episodes, becauseit would be truly fascinating. Here, the monk (forgive me, I don't remember his name) mentions how dharma helps us distinguish right and wrong; following our duty is right, deviating is wrong. I suspect that Phaya and Tharn deviated from their respective dharmas in their previous lives, Tharn in particular.

Finally, I am by no means an expert on these things. I've offered a rudimentary explanation, but I honestly have no idea how much of this actually makes sense, so I'm tagging @waitmyturtles in case she'd like to add something here. Turtles, I know you're not watching The Sign, but you have been interacting with a few posts about it, so forgive me for asking for a bit of help here.

Side note: Dharma is pronounced as dha-rm, just like Karma is pronounced as ka-rm, NOT kaar-maa. The 'a' makes an 'uh' sound, not aa. Similarly, Dhamma is pronounced as dhamm. And, in The Sign, Karma is said as Kamma, which has essentially the same relationship to Karma as Dhamma does to Dharma.

The first wedding this December needs a major debrief, but, we need a runway for the ever-brimming task list so I can get more PTO until January 2025. LOL.

One of the "what-if's" I have been dealing with is my lawyer dreams. Hahahahahahahahaha. I shared it with someone a few months back and I got a straightup question: Bakit gusto mo mag-law? Paano ka niyan? Start from scratch ka ulit? Paano schedule mo given your current role? May malapit bang LS sa bahay mo outside Manila?" Opakkkkyuuuu malala. Hahahahaha. Choke me dhazdiiii questions e. So, ayun na nga. Actually, when I said goodbye to nursing, ang plano ko talaga is Economics then tuloy ng LS. 'Yun lang. Sabi ko kasi, sobrang gusto ko ng mga ganaps na laging umaatikabo. You also get paid para mapakita mong tama ka kahit lagi namang two parties ang liable sa lahat ng bagay except sa mga kahayupan na wala talagang moral compass at all. Syempre, nanay kong dragon na best ever contrapelo, sabi niya: Law? Ikaw? Baka mamatay ka agad 'pag 'di mo nakuha gusto mong outcome? Saka, anak. Mahal ang economics, need mo ng funds para sa immersion sa ibang bansa. Mahal ang law school, matagal pati. Paano morals mo? Compromise mo? Me: Daming alam kahit kailan. 'Di ba puwedeng ako naman? Pangarap ko naman kasi 'yung pagiging teacher, psych, ayaw mo. Ayaw mo rin adver. Tapos, eto na chance ko kasi nag-sayang ako ng 2 years for your dream for me... the glossy nurse in Europa dream, ma? Nanay kong dragon: Basta. Ako masusunod. Ako nanay dito. Me: O 'di ikaw na. Lagi naman ikaw e. Hahahahaha. (Very petty parenting and "childing" style talaga namin.)

And now, tawang-tawa ako kasi eto lumabas sa feed ko. LOLOLLOLL. Syempre, natawa ako kasi of all content recos, I was expecting something about personal shit na inclined sa wedding, Boracay, Japan, atbp. But, hell no. Eto talaga ang lumabas sa tawas.

Side Note: I didn't bother looking up the credibility of this seemingly white male. LOL. I'm always all for the message and not the messenger. After all, we are all saints and sinners, too. EMMMEEE.

LS. Still thinking about it pero ang mahal niya talaga. And TBT, the "screenplay" dream is something more worthwhile, though, I can do both for free. EMEE. May side of me na LS means more immersion sa storylines na I can't get anywhere else. I like my grind naman now, honestly, pero may tanong ako na: What's next? Kasi AI is coming and while I'm not super shaken, may part of me na, shemayyyy. Ano bang magpapa-happy sa akin in a way na tanggalin natin mga what ifs. Happy is not about halakhak. Happy is not easy, lalo for my anhedonia. Happy is a choice you keep choosing.

Why LS? Kasi nga, I usually win arguments kapag gusto ko. Kapag may pake ako. Saka I thrive in conflicts lalo sa mga ganaps na badly hit ang kaibuturan. Not always, pero, in general. Saka, 'pag nakakakita ako ng mga bagay na "unfair" lalo sa mga babae, bata, LGTBQIA++, saka basta 'yung mga api, iba e. Lalo 'pag agawan ng yaman ng mga alta. Hahahahaha. Parang drama rama unli_yes. O di ba? And then, my favorite... divorce settlements. Lalo, kakalapag lang sa Pinas. Divorce + agawan ng yaman + digital forensics = funds. Ang gandang pakinggan. PAO forda gender equality = PAO. Emeeee. And so, eto na nga. Let's goooooo 2024. Iba ka talaga. Hindi ko sinasabing mag-LS ako, pero I need to make a solid choice soon para 'di ko na siya isipin ulit-ulit.

Coming across this content though, ang galing. Do I really want to handle secondary trauma given that I'm healing my own deep-shiiiiteeed (hahahahaha) trauma in this era? Or do I go big on my "real" babaw screenplay while dancing through the AI life? Both evils are delightful. Both evils are divine. EMMMEEE. At syempre, need and want ko rin sagutin ng mainam mga rapid-fire and very valid q's na nakaka-choke. Hahahahahaha. Plus, sobrang limited na talaga energy ko, unlike before. Are those boundaries? Healthy boundaries after soooo many years na walang boundaries? Abangan!

Price: [price_with_discount] (as of [price_update_date] - Details) [ad_1] Siddharth (Farhan Akhtar) and Trisha (Vidya Balan) are happily married couple until, Trisha gets pregnant and things started getting complicated. Sid is not ready for a baby as he is just a struggling music composer, yet lies to Trisha. On his friends' advice Sid starts reading pregnancy books and following Trisha's daily routine by putting a balloon in his shirt. Finally, Trisha gives birth to a baby girl and starts devoting all her time to the baby. Trisha's mother (Rati Agnihotri) feels that Sid is a careless person and can not take this responsibility, at which Sid makes a desperate attempt to behave like a family man but fails, as on one occasion he takes baby for a walk but forgets her in the market. Frustrated, Sid ask for help from Trisha's brother-in-law Ranveer (Ram Kapoor), who is a typical family man. Ranveer, reveals to him that when he gets frustrated, he makes a business trip excuse and stays in a hotel room to enjoy his life as a bachelor.
