Whatcha getting this week, Fantom Fam?

[lukolabrainrot]

What is your opinion on the claddaugh ring being on the middle finger instead of the ring finger? Do you think it matters?. I was so convinced it meant she is in relationship(because if it was just for herself/celebrate Bridgerton she could wear it facing outward since she knows people will speculate), but now I question if it being on the middle finger changes the possible meaning.

I've been told by various people that have Claddagh rings that it doesn't really matter if it's on the middle finger, just WHAT hand it is on and the orientation of the heart. This TT talks about it some:

And everytime N has been seen wearing this particular ring in public, she is wearing it on the hand and in the orientation that signifies she is in a relationship. Now obviously, maybe it doesn't mean anything, but it is interestinggggg 🤔

And IF N is wearing this ring to indicate she is in a relationship, would this PARTICULAR ring really be about anyone but L?? When she picked it up at a place where she was WITH L. And the first events she wore it were at events WITH L. And it's so heavily tied into Bridgerton (and therefore L). I 👏 JUST 👏 DON'T 👏 THINK 👏 SO 👏

Edit: I've also been told by basically everyone that has a Claddagh ring that it is considered REALLY bad luck to get yourself your own ring. It's supposed to be passed down in your family, or given to you/purchased by someone special. We know she commissioned it from Chupi and MAYBE she got a discount because she did promo for them. BUT, I feel like SOMEBODY had to purchase it/gift it to her. And again, NOBODY but L being that person makes sense to me. And THEN there's the whole Mia TT video debacle where Mia was talking about the article that was calling this PARTICULAR Claddagh ring from Chupi an engagement ring, and then N "accidentally" liked it (or saved it, I don't exactly remember), and then commented something like "Accident, my finger slipped". Which, like... ok, sure Jan 🙄 There are just a lot of interesting things about this ring, and one of the reasons I am still firmly sat on the ship!

oh yeah, i really like chandni. she's mega cute.

rahil trying to backtrack but masti mazaak zyaada ho gaya.

like getting out of a beanbag isn't already hard enough on your own?

also lol how awkward must it have been to film this? i saw a bts and it seemed like surbhi had to keep squirming on top of namit for like a relentlessly long time. i could never have been an actor. ever.

oh sid.

"tum na, thoda for granted le rahi ho humare iss relationship ko. main tumhara senior hoon, toh jab tak koi medical emergency na ho mere aas paas aake itna free mat hua karo."

ishani is all i've been alone all my life i don't wanna lose dr. sid and asha's like bitch tf am i here for then???

ishani is all about that heterosexual nonsense though. pachtaogi, behen. sisters before stupidass misters.

oh boy asha, your dadi was wrong. hella wrong. please don't kasssssske pakadofy the people you love. like hold them gently and let them know you're there for them; don't fucking forcibly tie them to yourself and stifle the fuck outta them and call that shit "pyaar".

BECAUSE YOU SHOULD ALL LOVE CHUPPY TOO

Facts About Chuppy Who Is The Best And Made Of Fluff And Marshmallow In He Little Pika Soul

* He was my first lil bean in my first pokemon game ever. I didnt even know that Yellow was a special edition, i just knew it was the newest one so my parents assumed there was no point getting red and blue. I guess they were lucky that it actually did work that way for these games, but it led to some confusion when they assumed that every series worked like fifa. I'd been watching the anime for almost a year before then, so i was SO excited to finally play the game for myself!!

* i was suuuper young tho and made loads of dumbass moves. This is why i'm so super attatched to Chuppy, i literally did not catch a single other pokemon in that entire playthrough. I also missed out on most of Yellow's entire gimmick because i IMMEDIATELY traded with a friend to get past the restrictions and evolve my buddy bean into a raichu. It was my favourite and i still kinda like it better than pikachu, sorry. But i guess i dont have that option in the remake, alas! It was a real dumb move tho cos i had no idea evolved pokemon have different movesets, so Chuppy literally never learned a single electric type move and spent the whole game relying on the Mega Punch and Mega Kick TMs. So lol he's a big cuddly fat bunny bean but he's also Super Strong Martial Arts Pika! Well i mean rabbits do have powerful kicks and pikachu does look at least 50% bunny. Also oddly enough i kinda predicted Iron Tail? Pikachu doesnt really have the arm length to punch, lol. So i always pictured him using his tail like a fist and then that did end up becoming one of its signature moves in the anime later!

* Oh and another hilarious fail of baby me! I actually learned to read through playing this game, it was my first game ever and the text heavy nature with simple child friendly dialogue was a really great way to learn. I owe it all to this game that i was way ahead of the class in literature for basically my entire academic career for the rest of my life. My double award A Star in English Sixth Form is all owed to Chuppy! :3

* OH LOL WHERE WAS I! Yeah, his name! So yeah i didnt know how to read and I..uhh..attempted to write pikachu backwards. "Chupi" which is NOWHERE CLOSE, WTF KID ME. But i pronounced it more like Chuppy than "choo pi" so i changed the spelling later once i had more of a grasp on How Words Wordinate. Uhcakip would have been cool too, but it sounds more like some kind of evil wizard! ...okay that might be cool, i wanna see a gandalf costume if we ever see a cosplay pika return.

* I used to draw him as red for some reason? i think i misinterpreted the raichu sprite that colour before i saw its official art and then i just thoughy it looked cooler that way so i made it his Interesting OC Trait. I dunno if i'd really keep that if i drew him again nowadays, but its why i really love Gorochu and wish it would become canon! I saw fanart of it being red and like a bigger chubbier raichu and im like Ayy It's My Boyyyy~!! Actually that'd be a cool oc premise, that he was actually this super rare primal reversion secret evolution but he was just found by a tiny innocent kiddo who didnt know he was anything out of the ordinary. "My pika is so big cos i love him bigly!"

* Oh and about my headcanons for him, yes!! He doesn't have as much of a deep inner life as my later ocs, when i was a teen i started to prefer reinterpreting it as a world where pokemon could all talk and were more like my friends, but for Chuppy i treated him like my pet bunny. So he was just a chumby innocent bean who loves neck scritches and naps in the sun and i cut him little fruit and vegetable slices and i brush the tangles out his fur and we are very happy together. The personality he had aside from just "the best possible pet" was also that he was very lazy but also very protective of his trainer and of anyone else who was weak and needed saving. He was like a goofy comic relief who could be a real badass when he got serious! And well yeah, he was my solo run for not only this game but also the entirety of gen 2. I didnt even use my starter there, i just transferred him over and continued literally bitchslapping everyone with this thunder mouse that cant thunder. The Strongest Chub.

* Oh yeah and thats also the most important fact about him, he is Big Orb. I thought pikachu was cute but i loved it even better in that one particular trading card where its Maximum Fat Pikachu. Like we all know that pikachu used to he more mouse shaped and then got redesigned around the johto anime and i Hated It Forever and will never stop mourning the chubbachu. But like even when it was already fat there was like GOD TIER even fatter chu on that one singular artwork and my little kid brain was sparked into a lifelong interest in character design because that was just SO MUCH A BETTER ONE and i could not wrap my head around the fact they didnt pick it! WHO COULD EVER NOT WANT ORBULAR CHU?? So Chuppy was just That One and then a hypothetical raichu redesign following the same lines. Oh and he was also mega fluffy and also like..big as in tall too. "Pikachu would be better if i struggled to carry it" thought young me. Like when he was a raichu he was doberman sized! Almost up to the kid protagonist's shoulder! And so round and so buried in long fur and just so...CHUPPY!! Seriously i didnt even learn the word chubby as a synonym for larj until years later, its such a good coincidence that i gave him the most perfect name. I propose that it should officially become the new slang for even more huggable large bunnies! Its like he's so chubby his bs fell upside down from the SHEER POWER xD I'm excited to play this remake cos now im a very chuppy-sized adult myself and i actually could pick him up now. And probably carry my child self in a piggyback ride, and man that poor kid needed something like that. Glad i had good nostalgic videogames even if i was lacking in good real life role models, alas

* ANYWAY

* in summary just imagine me holding the least pikachu shaped pikachu with the reverance of a man holding a small pope, glaring at you if you even dare insult my child. Also he's like the most powerful super saiyan. I say as he walks past in the background with his feet stuck in cups.

* plz love chuppy. chuppy love u <3

[firstofficerchakotay-flute]

Have you ever met Maria or Dalby's mother? Do you know many of the Maquis families?

I know most of the Maquis families, yes.

I met Dalby’s mother once on Earth. It was a few months before we got stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Ken insisted on me meeting her because he always felt so grateful to me. He thought I’d saved his life, but it wasn’t true. Ken is alive because he had the strengh to choose life instead of death. Anyway, Lauren (his mother) is a great woman. I was impressed when I first met her. She was so kind, elegant and cheerful. Her sense of humor was extraordinary. Also, she knew many things about classic Earth literature. We had some very good conversations. After a few hours, we got carried away and shared a bottle of whiskey! Dalby’s aunt (Diana or Danae or Donna…can’t remember her name for sure) joined us too. After we finished the bottle, Lauren sang to us a great old song, I think it was Frank Sinatra. She had such a beautiful voice. We had a great time. Ken was surprised I got along with his mother so well! Then, Lauren made me promise to her that I wouldn’t let his son sacrifice his life or die in vain. I promised her that my crew would always be my first priority.

I’ve known Maria for years. I used to hang out with Ayala and his wife. Their kids were exactly like their father! Anyway, Maria is a beautiful and smart woman. She adored Mike, they couldn’t keep their hands to themselves! Their dog, Chupie didn’t like me and to be honest, I didn’t like her too. I always liked dogs…but with Chupie…no. We never got along. Anyway, Maria had the tedency to hate my girlfriends. She always said that I had a very poor taste in women. Probably, she was right at the time. Oh, I can’t forget an incident: I was with Anne at the time - she was a very capable pilot but also manipulative. Maria couldn’t stand her. She attacked me with her high heels once because I had asked Anne to move in with me. She thought it was just a very bad idea. Well, it really was. Maria is a little crazy, but I really like her. I miss her.

10 Hacks to Save Time on Instagram

Looking to be more productive and save time on Instagram? 

When it comes to marketing your business on Instagram, you need creative content to captivate your audience and a strong strategy to grow your following.

And the good news is that it doesn’t need to take up a ton of time to get right!

In this blog post, we’re revealing our top 10 tips to save time on Instagram so you can get back to focusing on your bigger Instagram and business goals:

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #1: Use Presets to Edit All Your Instagram Images

If you want to gain followers and build your brand awareness on Instagram, you need to have a strong and recognizable Instagram aesthetic across your feed and stories.

This means having a consistent look and feel across all your photos and videos and committing to a style of imagery. For example, you could adopt a cool, muted, and minimalist approach across all your images like MemoBottle.

Or choose a signature color like jewelry brand Chupi:

Or you can opt for bright, bold, and playful tones across your feed — just like how we’ve done on the Later Instagram account. Whether we’re posting a video, still image, carousel or Instagram Stories post, all of our posts have a consistent look and feel.

But editing photos so that they all look and feel the same can take time and effort to get right. Especially if you’re new to editing software like Photoshop.

Thankfully, there’s a quick and easy way to achieve a cohesive aesthetic on your feed — presets!

Presets are one-click photo editing tools that can dramatically speed up your workflow and give your Instagram photos a professional look.

Here are two of our favorite tools to edit your photos quickly with presets:

#1: Use VSCO App to Edit Photos with Filters and Preset Packs

VSCO app is a firm favorite with influencers and brands as it has lots of free presets (called filters in VSCO) to choose from.

They even have curated preset packs of complementary filters making it a cinch to edit your photos and create a beautiful Instagram feed.

Once you’ve chosen your favorite filter in VSCO, you can edit all your images for your Instagram feed using that same filter, or collection of filters in a preset pack. So with just a few clicks, you’ll be able to easily bulk-edit all your images!

Check out how Later’s own Lexie Carbone edits her photos with VSCO to create the ultimate ‘California Cool’ aesthetic on her feed:

Looking for inspiration on what VSCO filters to use for your feed? Check out our blog post on The Best Instagram Filters in Photography Apps where we reveal our favorite VSCO filters.

#2: Use Adobe Lightroom CC App to Edit Photos with Mobile Presets

Another option is to edit your photos with the Lightroom CC app and presets!

While Photoshop takes time and effort to master, the free Lightroom app allows you to use mobile presets to quickly edit your images on the go.

This year, many popular Instagrammers are even coming out with their own preset collections, making it easy for you to achieve the same look and feel as your favorite influencers!

And since many presets are offered in “packs” or collections, you can choose from a selection of filters for each of your photos while still maintaining a cohesive look on your Instagram feed.

So just like VSCO, you can bulk-edit your images from a special shoot or event so they all have a similar tonal quality.

Want to learn more about how to save time on Instagram and quickly and easily edit your photos with Lightroom presets? Check out our blog post and free video guide with Instagram influencer Maddy Corbin on how to use Lightroom for Instagram:

Once you’ve committed to an Instagram aesthetic for your feed, you’ll soon find you’re able to edit your photos to fit in with your grid with just a few taps!

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #2: Use A Visual Planner to Plan Your Grid

Now that you have your images for your feed, it’s time to start thinking in “grid format.”

This means you need to start thinking and planning your Instagram posts about 2-3 weeks in advance.

This way, you’ll be able to easily see what your images look like side by side, on top of and below one another, and even diagonally across.

Being able to visually plan your feed in advance helps makes sure that your feed always looks fresh, and never repetitive. It also helps plan out how often you’ll share shoppable posts, or product shots, alongside your more lifestyle-based images.

The quickest way to plan and manage your Instagram grid is to use an Instagram Visual Planner like Later.

All you have to do is upload your edited images (see tip #1 on how to do that!) and then Later will generate what you feed will look like.

From here, you can drag-and-drop your images to rearrange them into an order that looks right for your future feed.

And once you’re happy with how your future grid will look, you can schedule them to automatically publish to your feed!

Want to try Later’s Visual Planner for yourself? It’s free to use and can be set up in minutes!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #3: Schedule Your Posts to Automatically Publish to Your Feed

Want to publish to Instagram without ever opening the app? Now you can!

With Later, you can schedule your posts to automatically publish to your feed — no push notifications need! And the best news is that it’s free and takes just minutes to set up.

Note: Auto Publish is only to Instagram business profiles.

Once you’ve decided when you’d like to go live, all you have to do is set the post to Auto Publish and set the precise time you’d like it to post to your feed.

Then Later does the rest — you don’t need to worry about push notification or opening the Instagram app at all after that!

Scheduling your Instagram content to Auto Publish also comes with some cool added perks:

Firstly, knowing that all your content is scheduled and ready to go live means that you win back time every day to get working on some bigger Instagram projects.

Whether that’s reporting on your Instagram Analytics, or collaborating with other brands for an Instagram campaign, when you know your content will Auto Publish without you, you can better focus your time on other tasks.

Secondly, scheduling your content to go live helps you post at the time you know your audience is most active.

Knowing your best time to post on Instagram and scheduling your content for that window, means you’ll see an engagement boost as you’re targeting your audience when they are most active.

So you can get ready to see more likes, comments, and shares on your scheduled content! 

Finally, with your content set to Auto Publish, you can give yourself some well-deserved downtime!

With Later working behind the scenes to publish your content — regardless of the time of the day or timezone you’re in — you can power down after hours and get some quality time away from the social buzz.

And that’s something we take very seriously here at Later — just check out our 7 Mental Health Tips for Social Media Managers blog post!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #4: Write a Week’s Worth of Captions at Once

Have you ever gone to write a caption for Instagram and come up blank? Welcome to Instagram writer’s block!

A good Instagram caption could be the key to having your post seen by more people.

We’re shining the spotlight on our top 5 blog posts from May, so you can catch up on the best bits. 🌼✨ Head to our stories today for the full recap, and a happy send off into the weekend. 🍹⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ PS: We’re loving all the Instagram Overlay Sticker creations that you’ve been tagging us in, and are very much onboard with @lesliehgreen’s movement: #makefeedsfunagain. 👏⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ ⤴ Link in bio: ⁣Instagram Overlay Stickers are Seriously Trending – Here’s How to Use Them (+ Free Downloadable Sticker Pack) ⤴⁣ ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⁣⠀⠀ #instagramoverlaystickers #freedownload #instagramtools #creativeinstagram #overlaystickers #instagramstickers #stickerpack #instagramstickerpack⠀

The new Instagram algorithm tends to favor posts that get a lot of engagement, so it will bump the post up on peoples’ feeds if it sees that it’s getting tons of likes, comments, and shares. And if a post gets enough engagement, it might even get on the Explore Page!

Writing good Instagram captions with effective call-to-actions (CTAs) is one of the best ways to inspire your followers to comment on your posts, which will help drive even more engagement on your account.  

Want to improve your captions? Check out our Ultimate Guide to Writing Good Instagram Captions!

If you’re struggling with writer’s block, you might miss out on a vital CTA, or an opportunity to share valuable content with your audience.

One way to overcome this is to plan and write all your captions for the week (or more!) in one go — once you’ve written one caption, you might find you have gotten the creative juices flowing and it’s easier than you first anticipated.

And then, once you’ve got a weeks’ worth of caption content written, you can quickly review and revise your captions to make edits and improve your CTAs.

Some social media managers like to keep a document or spreadsheet where they can write and plan out their captions for the week ahead, but this can get complicated (and time-consuming!) as you need to transfer the text from your desktop to your mobile to publish via Instagram.

But the good news is that if you schedule your posts with Later, you can draft and save your captions as you plan your feed!

Each scheduled post on the calendar has a dedicated caption editor, so you can write, edit, save, and revise your caption as often as you like before posting. And once you’re happy with your captions for the week ahead, you can set each post to auto-publish so you don’t need to worry about it again.

Check out how simple and quick it is to write your Instagram captions with Later — available on all Later plans, including our Free plan!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #5: Use Templates to Design Instagram Stories

Ever wondered how big brands like Summer Fridays, Monday Swimwear, and Moment create tons of great, graphic Instagram Stories content every day?

While their team and budget might be a little larger, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on putting out great quality Instagram Stories content quickly!

The good news is that you don’t need a graphic design team to create great looking Instagram Stories — you just need Instagram Stories templates!

Instagram Stories templates are pre-made layouts with graphics, text, or animations that you can edit to fit each new story.

Check out how triathlete and Instagram influencer @tygerlyons creatively used templates to bring his viewers behind the scenes at a new Assembly Label store launch in his recent stories posts:

By using the same (or similar) templates for your Instagram Stories, you can create cohesive, on-brand stories that align with your business as a whole. Plus, it makes it easier to work as a team on your Instagram account!

You can use apps like Over, Canva and Unfold to find template designs that you like — often they come with multiple variations so you can keep using that collection to design your Instagram Stories.

This not only saves you tons of time but helps you build brand recognition with your followers and Instagram aesthetic too!

We have a complete guide to creating captivating Instagram Stories posts using Over right here for you to watch:

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #6: Schedule Your Instagram Stories

Did you know that you can schedule Instagram Stories too?

With Later, you can storyboard your content, add captions or links, collaborate with your team, and visually plan and schedule Instagram Stories right from your desktop – something you won’t find on any other marketing platform and it will save you tons of time!

Automatic publishing for scheduled Instagram Stories isn’t available through the Instagram API, but Later has made it easy to post your stories in seconds.

Start by dragging-and-dropping your stories (which you might have created using a template from tip #5) on to the storyboard tool, and then re-arrange them to fit the order and look that you want.

You can also easily crop and resize images to fit Instagram Stories 9:16 ratio.

You can also add links or captions to your scheduled stories, which will be copied to your phone when it’s time to post.

To schedule Instagram Stories, simply select the time and date from the drop-down menu beside the Save Story button.

Then when it’s time to post, you’ll get a notification to your mobile! Your stories will be downloaded to your phone and caption or links copied to your clipboard, making it easy to post Instagram Stories in seconds.

Want to save time and schedule your Instagram Stories? Later’s Instagram Stories scheduler is available now on all paid plans, starting at $9/month. Upgrade now to get access or start scheduling stories!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #7: Collect and Save Your Best Hashtags

Posts with hashtags get 12.6% more engagement than posts without — so you want to be strategically thinking about using hashtags in your caption every time you post!

It used to be that the best way to organize your hashtags was with a spreadsheet like Google Sheets. You would create a spreadsheet with headers like “hashtags,” “category,” “# of posts,” and more, and then actively fill it out as you found new effective hashtags.

Luckily, there’s a better and more time-effective way!

With Later’s Saved Captions feature, you can now create multiple hashtag lists based on your frequently used hashtag categories, all from your Later account.

For example, let’s say you run a spa in San Diego, and your Instagram feed is a collection of beautiful California-based travel photography, and images of your spa and treatments you offer.

Instead of trying to remember (or find) relevant hashtags for every post, you can use Saved Captions to keep them all organized, so you can quickly add them when scheduling in the future.

If you want to schedule a photo of a beach in San Diego, since you’ve already saved hashtags for different categories, you can we can insert relevant hashtags for beaches, California, travel, and San Diego with just the click of a button!

After you’ve written your caption, just click on “Saved Captions” and then click on the appropriate hashtag list to instantly add those hashtags to your caption.

Saved Captions is available on all Later plans — including our free plan!

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #8: Export Your Instagram Analytics Reports

If you’re managing an Instagram account for a business, you want to track and measure how your content is performing.

Not only does this give you insight on what’s working on your feed, but you can identify opportunities for improvement and better strategize for the future.

Lots of businesses and social media managers produce a monthly report to track their performance, but it’s a manual process that involves digging into your Instagram Insights and handpicking each stat that you’d like to track over time. Plus, some added calculations to figure out your engagement rate!

But if you’re looking to save time, and thoroughly report on your Instagram’s performance, you can export a report of your Instagram Analytics through Later!

From your Later Analytics dashboard, you can download and export CSV files (as an Excel file) on important metrics like your Instagram Profile Growth and Discovery Metrics, which tracks how your profile has grown and changed over time.

Along with data like your Instagram Profile Interactions and Instagram Audience Analytics, including demographics, engagement levels, location, and language!

With just a click of a button, Later populates an excel sheet with all your most important metrics and downloads it to your desktop. So that’s one less thing to worry about when it comes to monthly progress reports!

To find out more about exporting your Instagram Analytics as CSV files, check out this step-by-step guide here!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #9: Set up Quick Replies to Respond to Common DMs

If your business uses Instagram as a customer service tool, you could find that your DM inbox is filled with similar questions, like how to track an online order, or what time your store opens.

Being fast with a response is so important if you want to build a strong relationship and loyal following. So to help you speed up the process, you can create Quick Replies with Instagram!

Just as the name suggests, the Quick Replies feature allows you to create messages for your most frequently asked questions, so you can reply to users with just one click!

To create a quick reply, you’ll need to open your profile and tap the button with three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open the sidebar menu where you can access your Instagram settings.

From here, tap the settings button and scroll down to Business Settings. Here you should see an option for Quick Replies.

Then tap the “+” button in the top-right corner to create a new quick reply.

Now when you want to use your quick reply, all you have to do is type the shortcut you created earlier in your response. This should cause a blue Quick Replies button to appear in the message box.

When you tap that button, the message you wrote earlier as your quick reply will automatically appear making it super-quick and easy to reply!

BONUS TIP! Switch to an Instagram Creator Account For Simplified Messaging

ICYMI: Instagram is launching new Creator Accounts for influencers and content creators. Similar to Instagram Business Profiles, the Instagram Creator profiles are offering exclusive features and analytics to help creators perform better and grow their audience online. 

But when it comes to managing your Direct Messages, the Creator Account comes with some serious perks!

According to Influencer Marketing Hub, “The creator profile being trialed includes high-quality filters that allow influencers to limit the types of people who can make direct contact with them on the platform.”

This means the new feature will help influencers better manage their DMs, and win back tons of time. 

With more DM filtering options, the Creator profile inbox allows you to prioritize messages from brands and friends, or rank them by relevance or time to make sure they never miss an important request.

Not sure whether you should switch to a Creator Account? Check out our blog post for everything you need to know about the new profile type and if making the switch is right for you! 

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #10: Schedule to Multiple Accounts at Once

Chances are, your brand or business isn’t just active on Instagram — you probably have a Facebook and Twitter profile, or a Pinterest account too!

If you’re looking to save time with your social media, you can schedule your content to several social networks at once!

Some platforms, like Instagram for example, allow you to share the same post to your Facebook profile when you hit publish. But that means you need to be actively posting from the app itself — so if you’re looking to buy back some time, scheduling your posts to go live across all your social platforms at once is key!

To do this with Later, simply click the “+” sign at the top of your Later calendar to select the social profiles you’re scheduling posts for.

From here, drag and drop the image from your Media Library that you want to schedule and create the caption for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. You can even customize the caption for each platform so you’re never duplicating content!

Plus, Later makes it easy to shorten your caption for Twitter, or remove the tagged @usernames in your Instagram caption for Facebook.

And you can easily crop your photo to the optimized image size for each network, so there’s no better time to add your Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter accounts to start scheduling along with your Instagram posts!

And if that wasn’t enough — you can now get a bird’s eye view of all your scheduled content by viewing multiple profiles in one content calendar!

View the scheduled posts for multiple Instagram accounts, or view all of your scheduled posts for one account across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. The choice is up to you!

Manage multiple Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest profiles all from one Later account. Upgrade now to manage more than 1 account.

  When it comes to successfully managing your Instagram account, every minute counts!

Whether your editing photos, crafting captions or scheduling out your content you want to make sure you’re always working as time-efficiently as possible!

Hopefully, some of these tips help you win back some time, so you can focus on bigger things like growing your audience and building a stronger Instagram strategy for the future!

Don’t forget that you can plan, schedule and automatically post to Instagram for free with Later! Sign up today and join the 2 million other businesses managing their Instagram accounts with Later.

New Post has been published on http://theincidence.com/theincidence-nightingale-of-bollywood-turns-89-11-little-known-stories-about-lata-mangeshkar/

#THEINCIDENCE @Nightingale of Bollywood Turns 89: 11 Little Known Stories About Lata Mangeshkar!

On her 89th birthday, we document some of the lesser-known stories about the legend’s life.

The Nightingale of Bollywood turned 89 today. She has recorded over 27,000 songs in 36 regional and foreign languages.

This is none other than legendary playback singer, Lata Mangeshkar. With melodious and soulful hits like Dafli Wale, Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, Dil To Pagal Hai, Luka Chupi, the woman who has earned herself the fond moniker of Lata Didi, enraptured the country with her ability to sing in the rare third octave.

But did you know Lata Didi’s original name is Hema? She was renamed Lata based on a character ‘Latika’ from her father’s play, BhaawBandhan.

And so, on her 89th birthday, we document some of the lesser-known stories about the legend’s life:

1. How her father discovered her singing talent at a tender age

A young Lata Mangeshkar.

Lata didi was born into a family of artists where her father, Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar, a classical singer and theatre actor discovered her singing talent.

Deenanath ran a theatre company that produced musical plays where Lata started acting by the age of five.

Lata’s ability to sing Raag Puriya Dhanashree helped him discover her singing talent. Speaking to Stardust, she recalls, “It so happened that once my father asked his shagird (disciple) to practise a raag while he finished some work. I was playing nearby and suddenly a note of the raag that shagird was rendering, jarred. And the next minute, I was correcting him. When my father returned, he discovered a shagird in his own daughter.”

Lata’s father said to her mother, “We have a singer at home. We never knew it.”

2. A legend around why she left school

Lata & Asha – The Mangeshkar Sisters.

At five, Lata started working as an actress in her father’s Marathi musical plays, also known as ‘Sangeet Natak’.

On her first day at school, when she started teaching songs to other children, the teacher stopped her. While some believed that she stopped going to school because she was so angry, others said she left because they would not allow her to bring Asha.

3. Did you know that she made her singing debut in a studio at the age of 13?

Lataji learned music from stalwarts like Aman Ali Khan Sahib and Amanat Khan, apart from her father. She recorded her first song in 1942 for the Marathi film, Kiti Hasaal; but it never saw the light of day, as it was edited from the film. The song was called Naachu Yaa Gade, Khelu Saari Mani. Although Natali Chaitraachi Navalaai is known as her Marathi song debut.

3. Did you know that she tried her hand at professional acting too?

After he father’s death in 1942, she tried her hand at acting until 1948 and acted in eight films. The oldest of five siblings–Meena, Asha, Usha and Hridaynath, Lata then shouldered the financial responsibility of the family.

Even though her acting career did not take off, she debuted with playback singing for Kiti Hasaal (1942).

4. She was told her voice was ‘too thin’ when she first started out in the industry

When she first entered the film industry as a playback singer, she was rejected. At the time, singers like Noor Jehan and Shamshad Begum ruled the roost. She was told her voice was ‘too thin’ for the time, in comparison to the heavy-nasal voices that belted hits.

Her major break came in 1949, with the song Aayega Aanewala from the film Mahal. She turned a sensation overnight with the song that not many can muster the courage to croon.

5. The time she moved Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to tears

The year was 1962. India had lost the war against China. When Lata Didi sang Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon to salute the martyrs of war, PM Nehru told her she had moved him to tears.

6. She was poisoned in 1962.

Naushad, Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi and Majrooh Sultanpuri.

In 1962, when Didi fell extremely ill, her medical investigation revealed that she was given slow poison. She battled death for three days. Even though her life was saved, recovery was a long journey where she remained bedridden for three months.

It was later found that her cook had vanished from her home without taking his wages. For precautionary measures, late Bollywood lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri would regularly visit her, taste her food first and only then allow her to eat.

7. Didi’s love for Cricket, Madan Mohan and Saira Banu

With Madan Mohanji.

Her favourite game is cricket. Didi is reported to have a permanent gallery reserved for her at the Lord’s Stadium from where she enjoys watching her favourite game.

Of all the spectacular music directors she has worked with, Madan Mohan was closest to her heart.

“I shared a special relationship with Madan Mohan, which was much more than what a singer and a music composer share. This was a relationship of a brother and a sister. He trusted me to sing his best compositions,” she said in a 2011 collector’s item calendar.

Didi reportedly thinks her voice suits actress Saira Banu’s the best!

8. A global star!

The legendary singer’s fame goes far beyond the shores. In 1974, Didi became the first Indian to perform in the Royal Albert Hall, London. She has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate by six universities, including the New York University.

France conferred its highest civilian award (Officer of the Legion of Honour) on Didi in 2007.

9. She served as an MP without charging a penny!

Didi was also nominated as a Member of Parliament. But her health restricted her from attending the sessions in the Rajya Sabha, which drew the ire of a few.

But according to a TOI report, it is said that she did not take a single penny or a salary or a house in Delhi for her services as an MP.

10. Her designs for a diamond company raked £105,000!

In 1999, the perfume Lata Eau de Parfum was launched in her honour. Didi also designed a collection called Swaranjali for an Indian diamond export company, Adora. Five pieces from this collection, when auctioned at Christie’s, earned £105,000 which Didi generously donated to the relief fund for the Kashmir earthquake in 2005.

11. Her last recorded song was in 2015

It was for an Indo-Pak gay love story. This means that from 1942 to 2015, she worked as a playback singer for 73 years!

In a career spanning seven decades, Didi has been bestowed several prestigious awards including the Bharat Ratna, India’s Highest Civilian Award. Didi became the second vocalist to ever receive it after M S Subbulakshmi!

10 Hacks to Save Time on Instagram

Looking to be more productive and save time on Instagram? 

When it comes to marketing your business on Instagram, you need creative content to captivate your audience and a strong strategy to grow your following.

And the good news is that it doesn’t need to take up a ton of time to get right!

In this blog post, we’re revealing our top 10 tips to save time on Instagram so you can get back to focusing on your bigger Instagram and business goals:

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #1: Use Presets to Edit All Your Instagram Images

If you want to gain followers and build your brand awareness on Instagram, you need to have a strong and recognizable Instagram aesthetic across your feed and stories.

This means having a consistent look and feel across all your photos and videos and committing to a style of imagery. For example, you could adopt a cool, muted, and minimalist approach across all your images like MemoBottle.

Or choose a signature color like jewelry brand Chupi:

Or you can opt for bright, bold, and playful tones across your feed — just like how we’ve done on the Later Instagram account. Whether we’re posting a video, still image, carousel or Instagram Stories post, all of our posts have a consistent look and feel.

But editing photos so that they all look and feel the same can take time and effort to get right. Especially if you’re new to editing software like Photoshop.

Thankfully, there’s a quick and easy way to achieve a cohesive aesthetic on your feed — presets!

Presets are one-click photo editing tools that can dramatically speed up your workflow and give your Instagram photos a professional look.

Here are two of our favorite tools to edit your photos quickly with presets:

#1: Use VSCO App to Edit Photos with Filters and Preset Packs

VSCO app is a firm favorite with influencers and brands as it has lots of free presets (called filters in VSCO) to choose from.

They even have curated preset packs of complementary filters making it a cinch to edit your photos and create a beautiful Instagram feed.

Once you’ve chosen your favorite filter in VSCO, you can edit all your images for your Instagram feed using that same filter, or collection of filters in a preset pack. So with just a few clicks, you’ll be able to easily bulk-edit all your images!

Check out how Later’s own Lexie Carbone edits her photos with VSCO to create the ultimate ‘California Cool’ aesthetic on her feed:

Looking for inspiration on what VSCO filters to use for your feed? Check out our blog post on The Best Instagram Filters in Photography Apps where we reveal our favorite VSCO filters.

#2: Use Adobe Lightroom CC App to Edit Photos with Mobile Presets

Another option is to edit your photos with the Lightroom CC app and presets!

While Photoshop takes time and effort to master, the free Lightroom app allows you to use mobile presets to quickly edit your images on the go.

This year, many popular Instagrammers are even coming out with their own preset collections, making it easy for you to achieve the same look and feel as your favorite influencers!

And since many presets are offered in “packs” or collections, you can choose from a selection of filters for each of your photos while still maintaining a cohesive look on your Instagram feed.

So just like VSCO, you can bulk-edit your images from a special shoot or event so they all have a similar tonal quality.

Once you’ve committed to an Instagram aesthetic for your feed, you’ll soon find you’re able to edit your photos to fit in with your grid with just a few taps!

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #2: Use A Visual Planner to Plan Your Grid

Now that you have your images for your feed, it’s time to start thinking in “grid format.”

This means you need to start thinking and planning your Instagram posts about 2-3 weeks in advance.

This way, you’ll be able to easily see what your images look like side by side, on top of and below one another, and even diagonally across.

Being able to visually plan your feed in advance helps makes sure that your feed always looks fresh, and never repetitive. It also helps plan out how often you’ll share shoppable posts, or product shots, alongside your more lifestyle-based images.

The quickest way to plan and manage your Instagram grid is to use an Instagram Visual Planner like Later.

All you have to do is upload your edited images (see tip #1 on how to do that!) and then Later will generate what you feed will look like.

From here, you can drag-and-drop your images to rearrange them into an order that looks right for your future feed.

And once you’re happy with how your future grid will look, you can schedule them to automatically publish to your feed!

Want to try Later’s Visual Planner for yourself? It’s free to use and can be set up in minutes!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #3: Schedule Your Posts to Automatically Publish to Your Feed

Want to publish to Instagram without ever opening the app? Now you can!

With Later, you can schedule your posts to automatically publish to your feed — no push notifications need! And the best news is that it’s free and takes just minutes to set up.

Note: Auto Publish is only to Instagram business profiles.

Once you’ve decided when you’d like to go live, all you have to do is set the post to Auto Publish and set the precise time you’d like it to post to your feed.

Then Later does the rest — you don’t need to worry about push notification or opening the Instagram app at all after that!

Scheduling your Instagram content to Auto Publish also comes with some cool added perks:

Firstly, knowing that all your content is scheduled and ready to go live means that you win back time every day to get working on some bigger Instagram projects.

Whether that’s reporting on your Instagram Analytics, or collaborating with other brands for an Instagram campaign, when you know your content will Auto Publish without you, you can better focus your time on other tasks.

Secondly, scheduling your content to go live helps you post at the time you know your audience is most active.

Knowing your best time to post on Instagram and scheduling your content for that window, means you’ll see an engagement boost as you’re targeting your audience when they are most active.

So you can get ready to see more likes, comments, and shares on your scheduled content! 

Finally, with your content set to Auto Publish, you can give yourself some well-deserved downtime!

With Later working behind the scenes to publish your content — regardless of the time of the day or timezone you’re in — you can power down after hours and get some quality time away from the social buzz.

And that’s something we take very seriously here at Later — just check out our 7 Mental Health Tips for Social Media Managers blog post!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #4: Write a Week’s Worth of Captions at Once

The new Instagram algorithm tends to favor posts that get a lot of engagement, so it will bump the post up on peoples’ feeds if it sees that it’s getting tons of likes, comments, and shares. And if a post gets enough engagement, it might even get on the Explore Page!

Writing good Instagram captions with effective call-to-actions (CTAs) is one of the best ways to inspire your followers to comment on your posts, which will help drive even more engagement on your account.

If you’re struggling with writer’s block, you might miss out on a vital CTA, or an opportunity to share valuable content with your audience.

One way to overcome this is to plan and write all your captions for the week (or more!) in one go — once you’ve written one caption, you might find you have gotten the creative juices flowing and it’s easier than you first anticipated.

And then, once you’ve got a weeks’ worth of caption content written, you can quickly review and revise your captions to make edits and improve your CTAs.

Some social media managers like to keep a document or spreadsheet where they can write and plan out their captions for the week ahead, but this can get complicated (and time-consuming!) as you need to transfer the text from your desktop to your mobile to publish via Instagram.

But the good news is that if you schedule your posts with Later, you can draft and save your captions as you plan your feed!

Each scheduled post on the calendar has a dedicated caption editor, so you can write, edit, save, and revise your caption as often as you like before posting. And once you’re happy with your captions for the week ahead, you can set each post to auto-publish so you don’t need to worry about it again.

Check out how simple and quick it is to write your Instagram captions with Later — available on all Later plans, including our Free plan!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #5: Use Templates to Design Instagram Stories

Ever wondered how big brands like Summer Fridays, Monday Swimwear, and Moment create tons of great, graphic Instagram Stories content every day?

While their team and budget might be a little larger, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on putting out great quality Instagram Stories content quickly!

The good news is that you don’t need a graphic design team to create great looking Instagram Stories — you just need Instagram Stories templates!

Instagram Stories templates are pre-made layouts with graphics, text, or animations that you can edit to fit each new story.

Check out how triathlete and Instagram influencer @tygerlyons creatively used templates to bring his viewers behind the scenes at a new Assembly Label store launch in his recent stories posts:

By using the same (or similar) templates for your Instagram Stories, you can create cohesive, on-brand stories that align with your business as a whole. Plus, it makes it easier to work as a team on your Instagram account!

You can use apps like Over, Canva and Unfold to find template designs that you like — often they come with multiple variations so you can keep using that collection to design your Instagram Stories.

This not only saves you tons of time but helps you build brand recognition with your followers and Instagram aesthetic too!

We have a complete guide to creating captivating Instagram Stories posts using Over right here for you to watch:

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #6: Schedule Your Instagram Stories

Did you know that you can schedule Instagram Stories too?

With Later, you can storyboard your content, add captions or links, collaborate with your team, and visually plan and schedule Instagram Stories right from your desktop – something you won’t find on any other marketing platform and it will save you tons of time!

Automatic publishing for scheduled Instagram Stories isn’t available through the Instagram API, but Later has made it easy to post your stories in seconds.

Start by dragging-and-dropping your stories (which you might have created using a template from tip #5) on to the storyboard tool, and then re-arrange them to fit the order and look that you want.

You can also easily crop and resize images to fit Instagram Stories 9:16 ratio.

You can also add links or captions to your scheduled stories, which will be copied to your phone when it’s time to post.

To schedule Instagram Stories, simply select the time and date from the drop-down menu beside the Save Story button.

Then when it’s time to post, you’ll get a notification to your mobile! Your stories will be downloaded to your phone and caption or links copied to your clipboard, making it easy to post Instagram Stories in seconds.

Want to save time and schedule your Instagram Stories? Later’s Instagram Stories scheduler is available now on all paid plans, starting at $9/month. Upgrade now to get access or start scheduling stories!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #7: Collect and Save Your Best Hashtags

Posts with hashtags get 12.6% more engagement than posts without — so you want to be strategically thinking about using hashtags in your caption every time you post!

It used to be that the best way to organize your hashtags was with a spreadsheet like Google Sheets. You would create a spreadsheet with headers like “hashtags,” “category,” “# of posts,” and more, and then actively fill it out as you found new effective hashtags.

Luckily, there’s a better and more time-effective way!

With Later’s Saved Captions feature, you can now create multiple hashtag lists based on your frequently used hashtag categories, all from your Later account.

For example, let’s say you run a spa in San Diego, and your Instagram feed is a collection of beautiful California-based travel photography, and images of your spa and treatments you offer.

Instead of trying to remember (or find) relevant hashtags for every post, you can use Saved Captions to keep them all organized, so you can quickly add them when scheduling in the future.

If you want to schedule a photo of a beach in San Diego, since you’ve already saved hashtags for different categories, you can we can insert relevant hashtags for beaches, California, travel, and San Diego with just the click of a button!

After you’ve written your caption, just click on “Saved Captions” and then click on the appropriate hashtag list to instantly add those hashtags to your caption.

Saved Captions is available on all Later plans — including our free plan!

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #8: Export Your Instagram Analytics Reports

If you’re managing an Instagram account for a business, you want to track and measure how your content is performing.

Not only does this give you insight on what’s working on your feed, but you can identify opportunities for improvement and better strategize for the future.

Lots of businesses and social media managers produce a monthly report to track their performance, but it’s a manual process that involves digging into your Instagram Insights and handpicking each stat that you’d like to track over time. Plus, some added calculations to figure out your engagement rate!

But if you’re looking to save time, and thoroughly report on your Instagram’s performance, you can export a report of your Instagram Analytics through Later!

From your Later Analytics dashboard, you can download and export CSV files (as an Excel file) on important metrics like your Instagram Profile Growth and Discovery Metrics, which tracks how your profile has grown and changed over time.

Along with data like your Instagram Profile Interactions and Instagram Audience Analytics, including demographics, engagement levels, location, and language!

With just a click of a button, Later populates an excel sheet with all your most important metrics and downloads it to your desktop. So that’s one less thing to worry about when it comes to monthly progress reports!

To find out more about exporting your Instagram Analytics as CSV files, check out this step-by-step guide here!

  How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #9: Set up Quick Replies to Respond to Common DMs

If your business uses Instagram as a customer service tool, you could find that your DM inbox is filled with similar questions, like how to track an online order, or what time your store opens.

Being fast with a response is so important if you want to build a strong relationship and loyal following. So to help you speed up the process, you can create Quick Replies with Instagram!

Just as the name suggests, the Quick Replies feature allows you to create messages for your most frequently asked questions, so you can reply to users with just one click!

To create a quick reply, you’ll need to open your profile and tap the button with three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open the sidebar menu where you can access your Instagram settings.

BONUS TIP! Switch to an Instagram Creator Account For Simplified Messaging

ICYMI: Instagram is launching new Creator Accounts for influencers and content creators. Similar to Instagram Business Profiles, the Instagram Creator profiles are offering exclusive features and analytics to help creators perform better and grow their audience online. 

But when it comes to managing your Direct Messages, the Creator Account comes with some serious perks!

According to Influencer Marketing Hub, “The creator profile being trialed includes high-quality filters that allow influencers to limit the types of people who can make direct contact with them on the platform.”

This means the new feature will help influencers better manage their DMs, and win back tons of time. 

With more DM filtering options, the Creator profile inbox allows you to prioritize messages from brands and friends, or rank them by relevance or time to make sure they never miss an important request.

Not sure whether you should switch to a Creator Account? Check out our blog post for everything you need to know about the new profile type and if making the switch is right for you! 

How to Save Time on Instagram Tip #10: Schedule to Multiple Accounts at Once

Chances are, your brand or business isn’t just active on Instagram — you probably have a Facebook and Twitter profile, or a Pinterest account too!

If you’re looking to save time with your social media, you can schedule your content to several social networks at once!

Some platforms, like Instagram for example, allow you to share the same post to your Facebook profile when you hit publish. But that means you need to be actively posting from the app itself — so if you’re looking to buy back some time, scheduling your posts to go live across all your social platforms at once is key!

To do this with Later, simply click the “+” sign at the top of your Later calendar to select the social profiles you’re scheduling posts for.

From here, drag and drop the image from your Media Library that you want to schedule and create the caption for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. You can even customize the caption for each platform so you’re never duplicating content!

Plus, Later makes it easy to shorten your caption for Twitter, or remove the tagged @usernames in your Instagram caption for Facebook.

And you can easily crop your photo to the optimized image size for each network, so there’s no better time to add your Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter accounts to start scheduling along with your Instagram posts!

And if that wasn’t enough — you can now get a bird’s eye view of all your scheduled content by viewing multiple profiles in one content calendar!

View the scheduled posts for multiple Instagram accounts, or view all of your scheduled posts for one account across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. The choice is up to you!

Manage multiple Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest profiles all from one Later account. Upgrade now to manage more than 1 account.

  When it comes to successfully managing your Instagram account, every minute counts!

Whether your editing photos, crafting captions or scheduling out your content you want to make sure you’re always working as time-efficiently as possible!

Hopefully, some of these tips help you win back some time, so you can focus on bigger things like growing your audience and building a stronger Instagram strategy for the future!

Don’t forget that you can plan, schedule and automatically post to Instagram for free with Later! Sign up today and join the 2 million other businesses managing their Instagram accounts with Later.

ishqbaaz lb: 2 - 6th january

i thought i’d be all caught up and back on schedule by now, but somehow i find myself behind by more than a week’s worth of episodes again. oh well.

maybe this week’s my week. in the mean time, here’s the second installation of liveblogs.

2nd january

preview: whut the whut???? is shivaay drunk again? is he dreaming this? is anika dreaming this? am *I* dreaming this???? 😯😯😯

lmao these three sisters are rudra's nightmare come alive; the bhaabi he never wanted, HIS FATHER'S MISTRESS, and the cult leader who kidnapped him. 😂😂😂

this bloody house and family is so fucking big, they should implement whatever technology uber implements in its cars, to keep track of what family member is where. 😒😒😒

rudra's denim shirt/trackpants outfit is pushing the limit on "athleisure" methinks. 😕😕😕

GOD DADI YOU AND YOUR SCREECHING. JUST... SHUSH.

they should really get someone else to dub for the dadi actress, coz her voice. lord above. 😬😬😬

oh no shivaay thinks anika's playing. 😟😟😟

dadi looks downright horrified at the thought. dadi, it's ok. it's how billu and biwi do foreplay. stay out of their sex life.  🙄🙄🙄

lololololol the fridge is about to start ringing.  😂😂😂

give it up tia. you're not gonna win.  🙄🙄🙄

FIGURE IT OUT FASTER YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.  😑😑😑

lmaooooo "bhaabi fridge main kaisi pohunchi???"  😂😂😂

there's a sentence no one ever plans to say in their life. ever. 😂😂😂

PLEASE NOTICE THE FACE OF THE FRIDGE MOVING DUDE. ZERO REACTION. ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR HIM. he must move a lot of rich ppl's fridges with bahus in them. 😐😐😐

i was like "ok she's cold but not THAT cold that you need a bonfire in MUMBAI" before i realised tht this was a prinku scene.  😶😶😶

ok, acp is like... RIGHT UP in their damn group now, and no one's like "who's this weird, fully grown man who's appeared out of nowhere and staring intently at one of our friends? 🤔🤔🤔"

what the hell does he even want??? 😒😒😒

yes priyanka, leave the group and isolate yourself, while you're being stalked. that's the smart thing to do right now. for fucks sake, this chick has the survival instincts of a fucking dodo. 😒😒😒

oh great. three MORE rapey boys. just what the show needed. MORE RAPEY BOYS.  😤😤😤

(lemme save you all the trouble of wondering how this is gonna go - acp is gonna save her, she's gonna be indebted, he's gonna be all conflicted coz omg why did i save her i hate her and they'll angstily marry each other and be the most boring-ass couple ever. 🙄🙄🙄)

i need to know what makeup primer/fixing spray anika uses that's waterproof, crying proof, torture (by shivaay + daksh) proof, freeze proof... like... what sorcery is this????? 😯😯😯

ok rudra, if you think of her as your wife, why don't you just ACCEPT it, and TELL HER? why is this plot still where it was 2 months ago????? 😑😑😑

i want sAumya's jammies. they look comfy af. 😊😊😊

oh look. husband was here all along! 😚😚😚

aaaaand he's yelling. ouff. give a girl a second to wake up properly! 😒😒😒

ok relax my man, you're in mumbai, not the north pole, that a hand outside the blanket will make her get the chills. 🙄🙄🙄

aw, he's "snug as a bug in a rug"d her! 😚😚😚

"akduuuu!" 😂😂😂

honestly boys, you can find better porn on the net, you don't have to get your jollies from watching priyanka change into a nightgown ffs.  🙄🙄🙄

romi's outfit is cute af! i want! 😊😊😊

i don't like this new YELLYYYYY svetlana. 😑😑😑

wow ok yeah that plan sounds CLEAR AF, thanks svetlana, for being so precise and detailed. 🙄🙄🙄

A+ eyeliner though. if only you lent that laser focus on explaining the plan.  👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

oh this... credo, and hand gesture thing is... here to stay? not a one time thing from that reveal scene? 😬😬😬

it's reminding me of a hateful version of the thing the planeteers do to summon captain planet. 😂😂😂

BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED, I AM CAPTAINNNNNN NAFRAT!!!! 😋😋😋

acp is shocked to learn that someone else is moving in on his "make priyanka feel violated with rapey harkatein" niche. THAT'S HIS CURB, DAMMIT, AND HE'LL BE DAMNED IF ANYONE TAKES IT FROM HIM!!!!!!! 😡😡😡

just once in my life, i want someone to be as excited about me as rudra is about anika. 😪😪😪

"aap fridge mein kyun chupi thi? aap waisi hi itni cool ho!" 😂😂😂

dadi: don't do anything that can get you killed, lololol!

seriously, dadi??? is that how you warn someone??? is the actress playing her wrong, or is she being written weird? either way, i can't fucking stand this character since shivaay and anika got married. 😒😒😒

@ ruMya: can you two just bang and get over it? 🙄🙄🙄

"hum risk sirf tabhi lete hai jab humein yakeen hai humaara prince charming humein bachaane aayega."

the day i risk anything in hope of a MAN coming and saving me is the day i die. of disappointment. 😑😑😑

headline of tomorrow's oberoi times: 30+ year old man gets his kicks from eavesdropping on youth and their discourse on romance; forces wife to participate in chichori harkat as a means to feel her up under the stairs.

why's he hugging her to his chesttttt? like cute af and all, but... lol, why? 😂😂😂

aw rudraaaaaa. 💗💗💗

aaaaaaand, there. you had to ruin it. asshole.  😒😒😒

waah, seediyon ke upar bhi romance, neeche bhi romance. 😏😏😏

where's my boy ommmmmmmmm? why isn't HE feeling up a PYT somewhere in the vicinity of this staircase???????? god knows if anyone deserves it the most, it's him! 😐😐😐

play a romantic song from this decade maybe???? 🤔🤔🤔

ok shivaay, she's your wife. you can seduce her in your room, ya'know. 😶😶😶

ok fine, i won't be such a unromantic grouch. carry on. continue fondling your wife under the staircase, like a horny high school kid. 😌😌😌

what do you mean "roka kisne hai?" YOU WERE ON HER LIKE WHITE ON RICE BRUH. pfffffffft. 🙄🙄🙄

the bad dubbing is ruining this scene for meeeeeeee. i'll have to watch it again on mute to get my kicks. 😫😫😫

wow. so this is what it's like when shivaay is romantic. nice. why couldn't you have just persuaded her to marry you her like this?????? 😐😐😐

shivaay, back in his room, googling "help i think i love my wife" and "how to make my wife love me". 😂😂😂

tia's hereeee, looking extremely becoming.😚😚😚

LMAO that HUGE step back he took when she mentioned the baby. 😂😂😂

oh i think tia's in that phase of her pregnancy when women get super horny. 😶😶😶

lol, i've never heard of the word "rest" as a euphemism for an orgasm, but this show has been so ~~~pathbreaking in so many ways so sure, why not? 😕😕😕

*while being seduced* "... i need to finish my emails!" 😂😂😂

lmao what an ISHQBAAZ. truly amazing. dadi, come take a look! 😂😂😂

anika strolling into that room like, BITCH STEP THE FUCK BACK, THIS WORKAHOLIC ROBOT IS MINE!!!!!! 🙃🙃🙃

3rd january

preview: I KNEW THE NEW HUNKY SERVANT WOULD BE SHADY! I KNEWWWWWWWWW IT! 😬😬😬

tiaaaaa was notttttt expecting anika to be so ferocious after being frozen like an bag of peas. 😂😂😂

shivaay's deep resigned sigh + "tia, you brought this on yourself" face lololol 😂😂😂

"nakhre noor jahan ke" hee hee 😂😂😂

"kasam shivaay BABY ki" LMAO 😂😂😂

shivaay's enjoying this smackdown too much lol, he's intervening soooooo reluctantly.  😋😋😋

"ACHAAR KE DAAG KI TARAH DHEET" omfg appropriating this for daily use irl 😂😂😂

might as well hang a sign around shivaay's neck saying "property of anika" 🙃🙃🙃

for that matter, tia's too, coz anika just OWNED HER ASS 😎😎😎

damnnnnnnnnnnnn anika, is this what being cold does to you??? i just get very angry and miserable and eat a lot of carbs. ��😐😐

lololol the instant disappearance of her giggles. 😋😋😋

patidev is taking full faida of display of haq. 😚😚😚

MAIN ROZ BRUSH KARTI HOON HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂😂

shivaay's not interested in your dental routine right now anika, he has lurrrrrrrve on his mind! 😚😚😚

(that look he gives her teeth tho, lol) 😂😂😂

it's weird that he's being SO romantic all outta nowhere. with a woman he served divorce papers to THIS MORNING.

(yes, this is the same day. god. i'm exhausted just thinking how long their damn days are. 😫😫😫)

bruh, parde toh bandh kiye hote. the whole house is getting an eyeful of your seduction game. 🙈🙈🙈

which is suddenly A+ btw. looks like googling "how to make my wife love me" gave him some fucking amazing results. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

such cute how they can't control their silly smiles and giggles at each other. adorable idiots. 💗💗💗

lol she literally jumped out the window to get away. 😂😂😂😂😂

relatable af. i woulda done the same. 😶😶😶

yes shivaay, what's happening to you? your constant smiling and being all romantic and shit is freaking meeeeeeee out. 😬😬😬

ouff, from that cuteness to this rapey nonsense. 😒😒😒

LOL ACP'S PUNCH. 😂😂😂

acp toh shivaay ka bhai nikla in phone tod department. 😐😐😐

where the fuck is everyone, did they just leave prinku alone? 😒😒😒

why doesn't the third dude deserve a name? 🤔🤔🤔

TUJHE CHAHTE HAI JAANEMAAANNN. abhishek and sumit have been watching too many b-grade 80's bolly movies. next they'll reply "bhagwan ke liye tujhe chod denge toh hum kya karengee?" 🙄🙄🙄

GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. honestly, i am so fucking done with this acp and prinku track. i could honestly not give less of a fuck about them. 😑😑😑

yes acp, keep watching as they tear her dori and violate her. best. 😒😒😒

anika, pay attn to hunky servant. he just gave you a clueeeeee. 😐😐😐

anika, you need to get a job. 😗😗😗

pft. acp ki herobaazi. mujhe nahi dekhni. fwd. 😒😒😒

can shivaay enroll prinku in some damn self defense classes ffs???? while he's at it, some personality development classes as well. 🙄🙄🙄

lmaoooooooooo TUM MERE HO. 😂😂😂

what the hell is with this show and songssss from the fucking 90s. can they not afford copyrights to anything newer??

such dramatic dupatta odh-ing was unnecessary. hand it over like a normal dude, bro. 🙄🙄🙄

prinku's feeling the angsty lau feelings right on schedule. 😒😒😒

since when is there this giantasss plate glass window in shivaay's room? 🤔🤔🤔

snort. hunky servant's evil smile. lololol. 😂😂😂

lol what the hell is he doing with the pointer toy i use to irritate my cat? 🤔🤔🤔

what in the world is shivaay wearing? 😟😟😟

lmaooooooooo. the cat toy is being used to melt whatever's holding the glass. 😂😂😂

yeah honestly anika, why do you ask? 😐😐😐

tia speaks the truth. get a job, anika. a hobby maybe. 🙄🙄🙄

like, i love anika and all, but god, i love tia so much more. she's a cold hard bitch who gets hers. 💗💗💗💗💗

or tries very hard, at least.

by this time, you could have run back home to save him by now. 🙄🙄🙄

looking at the angle the glass was falling, he was out of the danger zone. but yeah, the flying shards... oh well. 😐😐😐

TELL ME WE GET SOME AWESOME HURT/COMFORT SHIT OUTTA THIS, WITH ANIKA NURSING HIM BACK TO HEALTH. *smoochy noises* 😚😚😚

4th january

preview: idc what these ppl are yelling about all i care about is that OM IS BACK OM IS BACK OH HAPPY DAY OM IS BACK I FEEL LIKE I HAVE REASON TO LIVE AGAIN MY LONG HAIRED ARTIST BOY IS BACK!!!!! 😇😇😇

ouff, move slower shivaay. 😒😒😒

UM HOW THE FUCK DID THE GLASS JUST SHATTER SPONTANEOUSLY??? WHAT NONSENSE. 😒😒😒

GIRL, HONESTLY IN THIS TIME YOU COULD HAVE RUN THERE. 🙄🙄🙄

pft. he's fiiiiiine. just has some glass in his hair. nothing that tadi waala hair gesture of his won't fix. 😎😎😎

what's om screaming about? boy stand still and smile so i can drink you innnnnnn. 😐😐😐

what logic. there's just one paraaya, compared to allllll these apne. 🙄🙄🙄

tej, again, he's a self made billionaire. he doesn't need your money. 😑😑😑

ouff. men and their egos. 🙄🙄🙄

shivaay's been shook out of his near death experience stupor thanks to all the yelling. ouff, this fucking family. can't you let a man ponder his mortality in peace????? 😒😒😒

rudra, maybe have less selfish reasons... like, something more compelling than a fucking SANDWICH????? 😒😒😒

anika's brain be like OH BETE KIIIIIIIIII 😂😂😂

this should be a rasm for the new bahu too, witnessing the first bullshit fight that occurs in this family on a near-daily basis. 🙄🙄🙄

for once, shivaay's angry grabbing is justified and not icky. 😶😶😶

god stop being such an angsty emo bunny, om. such a drama queen you are. 🙄🙄🙄

ouff this damn new servant. 😑😑😑

yeah we got that, om. give us the REAL REASON. 😒😒😒

ooooh i think tej's trying to marry om off to some richhhhh heiress??? 🤔🤔🤔

CALLED IT!!!!!!

why's pinky making that self righteous face? it's what she was doing to shivaay too. 😶😶😶

arre bas itni si problem? nothing a little google-fu and facebook and instagram stalking can't solve! such baat ka batangad. 🙄🙄🙄

i mean, i gotta agree with tej here, arranged marriage really isn't a revolutionary concept. why's om getting so hyper like a damn white kid who's never heard of the concept? 😐😐😐

um, that's so not the reason to have kids????? 😒😒😒

he wants lurrrrrrrrrrve, tej. he wants LURVE. 😗😗😗

god this fucking murdery servant dude is getting even more footage than OM and it's pissing me offfffff. 😒😒😒

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, i mean if this argument came from anyone other than shivaay. 😂😂😂

to play devil's advocate though, he was in a relationship with tia and THINKS he knows her though. 😕😕😕

lol tej has the same idea as me. 😙😙😙

LMAO OM'S BRAIN LITERALLY SHORTCIRCUITING BEHIND TEJ, I AM LOVING IT LEMME REWIND 😂😂😂

lololololol even better the second time. 😂😂😂

bro, someone explain the structure of the oberoi businesses to me. please. i don't get it. what does shivaay do, what does tej do, how does any of this shit even work????? 😕😕😕

they're really modelled on the ambanis, i guess. 😗😗😗

tej, maybe don't disclose your petty so openly? 😬😬😬

ouff, dadi, why do you even bother? just go back to tirupati or whatever. take om with you. live in peace. 🙄🙄🙄

yeah shakti. just shut up. let a mom defend her son. 😑😑😑

what's wrong with this fucking servant, he's just going around the house tampering with everything shivaay touches. 😦😦😦

ouffffffff, jungle waala chutiyapa abhi tak khatam nahi hua. 😒😒😒

lol that weird scream. 😂😂😂

god, that's one determined rapist, going to attack prinku IN THE MIDDLE of getting his ass kicked. finish him offffff, acp. 😑😑😑

um acp??? large knife being aimed at ya girl... 😕😕😕

of course... of course acp is the one who gets slashed. 🙄🙄🙄

i wanted a shivika hurt/comfort scene. ouff, looks like i'll have to settle for this off brand nonsense instead. 😒😒😒

no? prinku's just letting him walk away? cool. 😗😗😗

ouff tej, you're like a dog with a bone, om don't currrr about your damn business. 😑😑😑

god how many times will we have to watch the same fucking argument between om and tej. i'm so bored. 🙄🙄🙄

ok tej, just stfu. THEY WERE JUST STARTING TO GET ALONG AND BE ALL CUTE AND FLIRTY AND SHIT. WHY YOU GOTTA RUIN ITTTTT????? 😑😑😑

ouff pinkyyyyyyy, shushhhhhhh.

this episode is so fucking boringgggggggggggg. ouff. 😑😑😑

oh no is svetlana back in tej's life now?????? OH NO. 😬😬😬

thank god at least one sister in the kapoor fam has a strong seduction game. watch and learn from di, tia + romi. 😎😎😎

who is svetlanaaaaa gunning for om to marry????? 😐😐😐

OHNOEOHNOEOHNOE 😯😯😯

i have this teeny tiny feeling that maybe om may end up marrying the chaddha girl, through some tej + svetlana dhokebaazi, and he's gonna hate her, but she's gonna turn out to be super nice and shit and worm her way into om's heart. #tellywoodtrashKiBhavishwyawaani 😇😇😇

dadi about to keel over from a heart attack. 😐😐😐

i feel zero sympathy tbh, coz dadi kinda deserves a tiny heart attack from the way she handled the shivaay/anika thing. 😒😒😒

the oberoi kid deserving bachpan-waala slapping is behind you, tej. he's less slap-worthy these days but give it a week or two, he's going to do something to deserve it. 😕😕😕

anika be like lord almighty i miss my bua. she was easier to handle than these ppl. 😮😮😮

calling it already, jhanvi is #bestMom2k17 👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽

good riddance. bye tejjjj.👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽

precap: shit, i thought my "bye tej" straight off dispatched him into the afterlife. 😬😬😬 nope. just some rando chick. om's girl? 🤔🤔🤔

oooh, shivaay making anika some mighty big promises. 😚😚😚

5th january

lol @ tej's hissy fit. 😆😆😆

this servant seems to have a damn phd in killing ppl. 😐😐😐

LMAO, pinky is meeeeeee. 5ever interested in the drama, but super side eye-y of it. lolololol. 😂😂😂

anika, honestly, i mean, i get your urgency, but is this the time? 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽

gaaadi hai, underwear nahi, that two people can't use one anothers'. just give him the damn keys, driver. 🙄🙄🙄

oh the plan was to kill tej all along? i have no issues with that. carry on, kapoor sisters. 🙃🙃🙃

GOOD LORD. RAPEY DUDES ARE ALSO KAPOOR SHILLS. WHAT NONSENSE. OUFF. 😒😒😒

also how the f did they send the mms to romi when acp smashed the phone last night???? 😑😑😑

anika, girl. you soundin' cray. 😶😶😶

lol the scenery chewing that this servant actor is doing. amaze. 😆😆😆

i want jhanvi's earrings. 😊😊😊

svetlana's super nonchalant "what?" at tej's impending death, i love it.

i've changed my mind, i think i love svetlana. i'm modeling my 2017 personality after her. 😍😍😍

tia, stop being such a weak bitch.  😐😐😐

OH NO JUST WHEN I GOT ON #TEAMSVETLANA, she's about to go do some suicidal stunt?!?!!! GODDAMNIT, WHY???? 😩😩😩

tej should have read @phati-sari‘s post on how to deal with failed brakes. 😊😊😊

yeah no one who takes an airbag to the face emerges looking completely fine like that. that shit deploys at like 300 kmph. 😒😒😒

oh shit u ok svetlana???? 😯😯😯

guessing this is svetlana's plan to make her way into the oberoi mansion. please don't let this end up with her marrying om tho. that's just super yucky. 😬😬😬

anika, you need to learn to communicate better. no one would believe what you're saying, the way you're saying it. 🙄🙄🙄

lol “dimaag ki dahi” what an un-shivaay like phrase. 😂😂😂

@ruMya: could you two kids just kiss alreadyyyy? 😐😐😐

ugh acp ka ott filmy dialogue. hope those big words are antiseptic and save you from catching some kinda nasty-ass infection. 🙄🙄🙄

“bohut khoon” my foot. 🙄🙄🙄

"main bura hoon, par gira hua nahi."  

LMAO WHAT NONSENSE, HOW IS YOU FORCING HER TO MARRY HER IN ORDER TO TORTURE HER ANY BETTER THAN MAKING THE MMS? IF ANYTHING, IT'S WORSE. 😒😒😒

can you two get off my screen already????? 😑😑😑

thank you.

CAN YOU TWO IDIOTS STOP FIGHTING ABOUT THIS OUT IN THE OPEN LIKE THIS???????????? 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽

oh boy, om's gonna fuckin' loseeeeee it. 😬😬😬

lol his crossed arms + "both of you shoulda died" expression. 😋😋😋

god tia, TOUGHEN UP. nafratbaaz my ass. 🙄🙄🙄

svetlana doesn't even look thaaat injured tho? like she's just got a few scrapes... 🤔🤔🤔

BREATHE, SVETLANA, I JUST STARTED LIKING YOU!!!! 😩😩😩

why is no one (anika even) noticing tia losing her shit while seeing svetlana like this? 😐😐😐

LMAO TRUST THE OBEROIS TO KEEP THEIR FIRST AID KIT IN AN ORNATE GOLDEN FILGREE EMBOSSED WOODEN BOX. 😂😂😂

loving jhanvi, pinky and om's #idgaf expressions. 🙃🙃🙃

fwding to when svetlana finally wakes the f up, coz we all know she's gonna. 🙄🙄🙄

om asking all the real questions. 🙃🙃🙃

ok that answer doesn't make sense, tej. 🙄🙄🙄

nothing gets me more heart eyed than when om calls ppl out on their shit. 😍😍😍

what “jaan par khel kar”???? she just happened to be in the way with her car, there were zero allusions that she did it intentionally. 🙄🙄🙄

finally, tej lending some credence to anika's story. 😶😶😶

pft, i only watched today's episode for the shivika scene i was promised in yesterday's precap, and instead i had to watch a whole episode of them bickering and have to wait until the next ep. 😒😒😒

6th january

preview: yay, team's all here and on a mission!!!!!! 😊😊😊

lmao the knife still in the tyre. looks like murder servant isn't that smart after all. 😆😆😆

lmaoooooo no pointtttt calling security, come on shivaay. 🙄🙄🙄

sup khanna? new year, new facial hair! 😏😏😏

lol you know khanna is here only to make fanmixes on his otp. i bet he has a thriving youtube channel filled with footage of you two. 😆😆😆

why's he calling tej when he's just indoors???? 🤔🤔🤔

says the person who whatsapps her mom from the next room about how the cat is chewing on my leg. 😶😶😶

um shivaay, please to notice that your wife is currently having a breakdown? 😶😶😶

this moment is coming across as super fake on anika's part. the whole stumbling around and talking to self thing. 🙄🙄🙄

“aap BHI mujhe chod ke chale gaye toh?” awww. baby. *pats her hair*

god shivaay, why is YELLING your go-to for everything? you didn't even try to reason with her normally, before going to yelling. 😒😒😒

bad writing/shitty editing or shitty acting on nakuul's part? 🤔🤔🤔

"main kahin nahi jaunga. na main khud jaunga, na tumhe jaane dunga."

aw. but also, kinda creepy and dakshy-sounding. depends on what mood you're in while watching. 😕😕😕

HUG!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗

oh come on, you could have totally hugggggggged. why's shivaay having sudden commitment-phobia??? 🙄🙄🙄

lol jhanvi, why so obtuse? how can someone so smart, be so fucking stupid? 😑😑😑

LMAO PINKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I FUCKING LOVE YOU 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

never let it be said that true love doesn't exist in this show. 👭🏽👭🏽👭🏽 offering to murder your sister-friend's husband's mistress is the GREATEST ACT OF LOVE that has ever been displayed in the 170-odd episodes. 💗💗💗 #female relationships mean everything to me

pinky's disappointment at jhanvi not taking her up on the offer = the best. 😂😂😂

"naagin ko full fats creams ka milks pilaao" amazing. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

also, subtle meta reference at svetlana actress's gig on a naagin show? 🤔🤔🤔

does anika even know the whole deal with svetlana? how????? 🤔🤔🤔

kanji aankhein be shocked at...?

oh. murder servant's game is up. bye boo. it was fun watching ya overact the fuck out of everything for 3 days. 😙😙😙

rudra's brief for this episode: make an exit within 30 seconds of scene and take sumo with him. 😑😑😑

170 episodes too late, but yes, please change the security staff. 🙄🙄🙄

oh god, time for anika to maarofy heavy sanskaari statement about patni protecting pati from blah blah blah. 😑😑😑

my expression, exact same as tia's. 😒😒😒

oh boy, anika's leading tia into a phone throwing type moment. the wily minx. 😬😬😬

ooh, is this the first time tia didn't call shivaay SHIVAAY BABY? 🤔🤔🤔

lol shivaay, not much of a date if she goes alone. 😐😐😐

oh boy shivaay, don't piss tia off. she's gonna ramp up the attempts to murder you. 😬😬😬

i thought she was gonna snap his neck right there and then. 😂😂😂

lololol anika's face. 😂😂😂

methinks the shivaay doth protests too much. 😚😚😚

snorttttttt, idk if she's enjoying this or not, but I CERTAINLY AM ENJOYING THIS. 😂😂😂

nakhra is not a very hard word. neither is noor jahan. are you just stupid, shivaay? 😕😕😕

this is a silly, quite badly written scene, but they're so cute when they're unable to stop grinning around each other. 😘😘😘

tho shivaay is unusally happy for someone who almost got murdered twice today. 😕😕😕

time for oberoi mystery inc. to convene and discuss. 😎😎😎

in the most open, obvious fucking location in the house. amazing. not a single bright crayon in this box. 😒😒😒

^^^^ ACTUAL PICTURE OF THE OBEROI BOX OF CRAYONS. 🙄🙄🙄

when will my om get a girl to walk with, who loves him the way he deserves to be loved? 😞😞😞

"laser". pfffffffft. IT WAS A CAT TOYYYYY COME ON. 🙄🙄🙄

where did all the furniture in this room go? 🤔🤔🤔

lmao AJAY VERMA. might as well be named john smith. 🙄🙄🙄

also, of course he didn't come from the agency you fucking idiots. 😑😑😑

DRAMATIC TADI WAALA POSTURING! 😎😎😎

i'd be downright disappointed with tia if she wasn't eavesdropping rn.

NOOOOOOOOO DON'T LEAVE! LISTEN TO THEM PLANNING WHATEVERRRRRR! FFS TIA, ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF DOING THIS WITHOUT SVETLANA HISSING AT YOU AT ALL TIMES???? 😩😩😩

may i remind you all that they were making out like svetlana was almost in a fucking coma. still, not a single person watching over her to find that tia is visiting her and calling her "di". 🙄🙄🙄

lol svetlana's giant hair eclipsing her head bandage tho. 😂😂😂

i'm bored with this scene so here are the oberois as mystery inc. team members:

anika = velma 🤓🤓🤓 (because orange. and she's ultimately gonna be the one who solves everything.)

shivaay = fred 👦🏽👦🏽👦🏽 (requisite cis male eye candy; mileage may vary depending by case.)

sAumya = daphne 👧🏽👧🏽👧🏽 (occasionally does shit, but mostly here to fulfill the cute quota.)

om = shaggy 🙇🏽🙇🏽🙇🏽 (coz i'm sure 87% of his chill personality comes from the fact that he's 420 blazin' it up in that studio of his.)

rudra = scooby 🐶🐶🐶 (self explanatory.)

I WANT TO BURN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE UGLY FUCKING VESTS THEY PUT ON THIS MAN!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡

ooooooooh anika sleeps in the room now! progress! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

"anika? hi? good morning? 😶😶😶" lol. awwww. 😊😊😊

goddamnit shivaay, why the fuck are you always yelling??? honestly, that too so early in the morning. 😒😒😒

"you sleep like a log." "kaun log?"

snort. 😂😂😂

"dhang ke kapde"? you rather liked this outfit the last time she wore it. couldn't stop feeling her up every two minutes. 😏😏😏

"breakfast banane jaa raha hoon, TUMHARE LIYE."

NOW i'd say my man’s on track to redemption. 😚😚😚

what can i say, i'm a hungry bitch. feed me and i'll be yours forever. i'm very much like a raccoon that way. 😇😇😇

OOOOOOOOH A GIFT. 💖💖💖💖

wait, should i be worried? 😟😟😟

coz y'know, the last time he handed her a gift wrapped box, it had divorce papers. 😕😕😕

OOOH AN IPHONE. ANIKA FINALLY JOINS THE IPHONE FAM.

inaugarate it by dirty facetiming each other. 😏😏😏

sahil is a 7 year old. AT BOARDING SCHOOL. he doesn't need a fucking phone. 🙄🙄🙄

ooooooooh. "pyaar se." girl, watch what you're asking for. you couldn't really handle his pyaar a day back. you jumped out the window coz it was too much. 😋😋😋

goddamnit, this smooth motherf... where's he suddenly getting these moves from???? 😯😯😯

ok it's an iphone. not that there's a lot of variety to CHOOSE from. calm down, shivaay. 😑😑😑

his smiley romantic mood makes me both awwwww, and also be a little freaked out. 😬😬😬

mostly freaked out. i'm really not used to it. i'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. 😕😕😕

"toh yeh pyaar se tha, ya dobara koshish karoon?"

holy shit. i... uh... 🤐🤐🤐😯😯😯

*loses my damn mind for a second*

ok i’m back... BUT WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE SHIVAAY WE KNOW AND LOATHE????? 😮😮😮

GODDAMN HIS SEDUCTION GAME... JUST... NO WORDS. 😶😶😶

i nearly jumped out my damn skin just like anika when he came back.  

"phir se blush kar rahi ho."

GET OUTTA HERE, ANIKA AND I CAN'T DEAL WITH ALL THESE FEELZ. JUST GO MAKE THE FOOD. GO. SHOO. 😩😩😩

"yeh blush kya cheez hai???? main kar bhi rahi hoon aur mujhe pata hi nahi hai!" haha awwww 😂😂😂

sAumya looks cuddly af man. i wanttttt a hug from herrrrrr! 🤗🤗🤗

why is she not dancing in her own room tho? 🤔🤔🤔

the fuck is this???? 😒😒😒

ohhhhhhhh, it’s an ad for some shit. fwding. 🙄🙄🙄

also, why is it suddenly night if shivaay just woke anika up? 🤔🤔🤔
