An Introduction
I don't know politics but I know the names Of those in power, and can repeat them like Days of week, or names of months, beginning with Nehru. I am Indian, very brown, born in Malabar, I speak three languages, write in Two, dream in one. Don't write in English, they said, English is not your mother-tongue. Why not leave Me alone, critics, friends, visiting cousins, Every one of you? Why not let me speak in Any language I like? The language I speak, Becomes mine, its distortions, its queernesses All mine, mine alone. It is half English, half Indian, funny perhaps, but it is honest, It is as human as I am human, don't You see? It voices my joys, my longings, my Hopes, and it is useful to me as cawing Is to crows or roaring to the lions, it Is human speech, the speech of the mind that is Here and not there, a mind that sees and hears and Is aware. Not the deaf, blind speech Of trees in storm or of monsoon clouds or of rain or the Incoherent mutterings of the blazing Funeral pyre. I was child, and later they Told me I grew, for I became tall, my limbs Swelled and one or two places sprouted hair. When I asked for love, not knowing what else to ask For, he drew a youth of sixteen into the Bedroom and closed the door, He did not beat me But my sad woman-body felt so beaten. The weight of my breasts and womb crushed me. I shrank Pitifully. Then… I wore a shirt and my Brother's trousers, cut my hair short and ignored My womanliness. Dress in sarees, be girl, Be wife, they said. Be embroiderer, be cook, Be a quarreller with servants. Fit in. Oh, Belong, cried the categorizers. Don't sit On walls or peep in through our lace-draped windows.
Be Amy, or be Kamala. Or, better Still, be Madhavikutty. It is time to Choose a name, a role. Don't play pretending games. Don't play at schizophrenia or be a Nympho. Don't cry embarrassingly loud when Jilted in love… I met a man, loved him. Call Him not by any name, he is every man Who wants a woman, just as I am every Woman who seeks love. In him… the hungry haste Of rivers, in me… the oceans' tireless Waiting. Who are you, I ask each and everyone, The answer is, it is I. Anywhere and, Everywhere, I see the one who calls himself I; in this world, he is tightly packed like the Sword in its sheath. It is I who drink lonely Drinks at twelve, midnight, in hotels of strange towns, It is I who laugh, it is I who make love And then, feel shame, it is I who lie dying With a rattle in my throat. I am sinner, I am saint. I am the beloved and the Betrayed. I have no joys which are not yours, no Aches which are not yours. I too call myself I.
—Kamala Das, Summer in Calcutta (1965)

hi! i would personally love to know your bollywood bg3 assignments 👀✨
Thank you for indulging me 🥰
Keeping in mind a lot of them do not have actual reasons behind the choices other than literally pure vibes but they make sense in my head
Karlach - O Saki saki (like imagine her at the tiefling party with this song 🙄🤚🏽)
Wyll - Aa Re Pritam Pyaare (this is me @ him 😩❤️)
Gale - fevicol se (I could give him a million choices but we will leave it as just this one for now)
Shadow heart - razia gundo mein phas gayi (I don’t know how to explain but vibes plus I think she’s kill the outfit)
Laezel - suraiyya (vibes but also because I think the line about giving your life for her fits)
Halsin - chikni chameli (vibes but also points for animal references)
Minthara - nahi maloom (Ngl I do not know much about her so mostly vibes but this is one of my personal favourites so do with that what you will)
Astarion - sheela ki jawani (he gets a basic choice because I’m currently having one sided beef with him 🙄)

MARVEL DOES IT AGAIN
The song that played in the Marvel intro of episode 5 in Ms Marvel was ‘Tu Mera Chaand Main Teri Chaandni’, sung by Suraiyya, the only Muslim singer-actress who DID NOT leave India to got Pakistan during partition. She stayed in India, like Hasan wanted to. 
It also has a line ‘Jab tak chamke chaand sitaare, dekho chute na saath’ which means till the moon and stars shine, we shall never seperete. Funny stars were the ones which brought Sana and her Abbu together. Smh.
