"Ram Navmi in India: Same, but like with added falvour of being stoned and attacked because you were provocative to the non hindus by paassing a procession to the temple🥰"

Oh i thought ram navami is a festival in which hindus take out their swords and play "mulla madarchod" "songs that says to fuck muslim women" infront of a mosque and expect them (the targetted community the mullas) instead of reacting and getting struck by the title of stone pelters you want them to simply let you go when hindus where the one's who proked them lmao Ram ji bade khush hoge🥰🥰🥰

Bhai tujhe kaise pata khush honge ya nahi? Ram ji khud btake gaye the ya Akaashvani hui thi tere liye bhi kans jaise?

nahi btate?

Chalo koi na

Itna bata do ki librandu ho ya offended?

aur jonse bhi ho, ye bhi bta do ki ye exclusive news piece laaye kaha se jo aaj tak kisi ne na suna tha na dange ke time disclose kiya tha? Kyunki talwaar wave karna wagerah to humne bhi dekha tha, but saala ye sab kab bola gaya? NIA bhi baith gayi ab to, unhe nahi mila to aapko kaise pta?

Ram ji btake gaye the kya jab ye bolne aaye the ki khush hain ya nahi?

Itna to pata hai na ki claim thopne se pehle proof dene hote hai?

Saala humpe har saal pathhar phainke jaatey hai, is is baar ki baat nahi hai, kitne states mein fainke gaye is baar bhi, aur har baar koi naya bahana ki ye hua tha, wo hua tha, aur proof kabhi dete nahi.

They are doing this habitually every year at this point, do you really think they are being provoked (publicly, might I add) every year in such a secretive manner that no one ever finds out?

Shraddha Kapoor celebrates 37th birthday with paps, vada pav and jalebi!

On March 3, 2024, Shraddha Kapoor turned a year older and here's how she celebrated her birthday.

Shraddha Kapoor celebrated her birthday, yesterday. On her special day, Shraddha received love and wishes from the fans and the audiences in large numbers on social media. The birthday occasion of Shraddha Kapoor is no less than any festival for the fans. It is well known that Shraddha Kapoor is the favorite celebrity of the paparazzi and they surprised the actress by making her feel special on the important day. The photographers brought Shraddha's favourite chocolate cake and favorite snack items like Vada Pav with Jalebi to mark the special occasion.

Shraddha Kapoor, who always acknowledges the gesture made by fans and the audiences towards her, does it again. She acknowledged the gesture of the paparazzi by thanking them.

The video of the birthday celebration surfaced on social media where the birthday girl can be seen thanking the paparazzi, saying, “Guys thank you so much. Thank you. Aap sabko hamesha pata hota hai na mera favourite kya hai. (You always know what my favorite is). The photographers responded, “Yes, Vada Pav,” while Shraddha replied, Thank you so much. Next year na jalebiwala cake. (Next year, bring jalebi cake). The photographers, thrilled by this request, said, “Yes, yes definitely.” Following the interaction, the actress cut the cake and later shared, “Thank you so much, aap sab mujhe bohot saara pyar dete ho hamesha, bohot support karte ho, bohot zyada overwhelm hoti hun aap sab ke pyar se, thank you very very much. (Thank you so much, all of you shower so much love, always support me, I feel overwhelmed with all your love, thank you very very much)."

Besides celebrating the birthday with the photographers, Shraddha also celebrated the special day with 30 of her most loyal fans, who accompanied her by coming from various parts of India. In the return gesture, Shraddha not only spent quality time with them, she even went a step further and enjoyed a delicious meal together.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Shraddha Kapoor will be next seen in the sequel of much awaited Stree 2.

Hello Ji JWB ji, analysis anon is back with an analysis question. Do you think Khushi becomes more comfortable with Arnav in terms of their class difference after Payal’s marriage was fixed with Akash? How do you think Khushi perceives the class difference between herself and the Raizada family? Thanks a lot and loads of love

Dearest Analysis Anon ji,

Welcome! So lovely to hear from you after a long time.

FIRST, this is solely my opinion of the show and different viewpoints can exist :) Also, I have put an Ishqbaaz reference here and there because Annika and Khushi are similar heroines from similar backgrounds with questionable partners who are classist *lol* (Shivaay takes the cake and bakery in classist department tho)

Arnav, Khushi, Class Difference - from Khushi's POV

I find this very interesting, unlike Annika from Ishqbaaz, I think Khushi has a less jaded and more equal viewing of the world.

I don't think Khushi puts herself above anybody else, and likewise doesn't expect anyone else to put themselves above her (or her family). This is solely in terms of money; morally she often considers herself superior.

Of course, she knows disparities exist, but she also thinks that merit and morality cover any and every difference. A very utopian thinking if you ask me.

So what offends her the most about Arnav is not that he's extremely rich (in fact she's not even too intimidated about it) but that he puts himself above her just on the basis of money - without even knowing her - where Khushi feels they're an equal when it comes to intellect and merit, and superior when it comes to morality.

Khushi is never uncomfortable with class difference per se until someone makes it uncomfortable for her - which is Lavanya (initially), Mami and Arnav. On the other hand Payal, Garima and Madhumati are extremely class conscious. Which is why the latter two are shocked when Akash's rishta comes for Payal and class difference is the reason why Payal initially declined Akash's proposal.

Also - makes sense. There's more tension when a class conscious woman is getting married to someone who's mother is a classist.

And in Arnav and Khushi's case, it's Arnav's inherent classism and Khushi giving him a literal middle finger to all his assumptions. He has a very capitalistic thinking - that middle classed people are lazy, behind quickly climbing ladders by using any means and have less respect. Which might be true - his own uncle and Mool Rajani are examples. But Arnav generalizes Khushi and that pisses her off because she's a complete contradiction to his beliefs.

When Payal and Akash's relationship is discovered, Khushi reacts to the whole situation as "Omg, the sweet Akash wants to marry my sister? Wait my sister has a suitor? OMG IT'S ARNAV'S COUSIN? I CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN. Wait... my sister loves him back! OMG I NEED TO GET THEM MARRIED!" And does not even consider about their class difference.

Khushi, oddly, assumes her haq to and around Arnav because rarely she sees themselves playing on different levels. The only time she's intimidated is when she sees Shantivan for the first time - but Anjali's warm welcome and Nani's affection for Lucknow makes Khushi feel immediately at home.

Also, anytime she's wary of money, status - it's only because of Arnav. He glares at her when she sits at his table the first time. He keeps on accusing her she's in this for money. He makes no change to his room when they're married - clearly showing her she has no place in this house. And often accuses her of loving jewelry and money.

If you ask me, in canon, Khushi truly becomes comfortable once Arnav gets rid of his classism and becomes comfortable. It's the little things that he does for her, wearing a raksha-dhaaga, participating in festivals or even during the first sangeet - having a very Lucknowi competition where they're on equal grounds.

One big example of Khushi treating Arnav equally is when she compares her wins in local dance competitions to his business gains. Because she's talking of grit, determination, competitive spirit and intellect - not what the wins financially bring them. And she's humbled during Teri Meri and when he gets Akash and Payal together because that is when Arnav has morally superseded her merit and intent.

I hope you liked this answer! Thanks for another interesting ask! Hope you're doing really well. I loved answering this.

Much love,

- JWB

P.S: I find Khushi's shock and disappointment of the 2 lakhs bag more of Arnav not understanding what she truly wants and money is all he can give her as opposed to genuine class difference thing. I feel Khushi is disappointed that Arnav still can't say nor do things that are necessary for her. Which is contradictory from the scene where Shivaay gifts Annika an expensive gift and while she's happy, she's shocked that he gave her such an expensive gift in the first place.

Corona, Blogging Corona

It is a nightmare isn’t it? Staying home all day, wondering how someone thousands of miles away eating a pangolin can screw up your foreseeable future? Or jeopardise the lives of your family, or the world as you know it?

I have met several men and women who have cheered for acts of wars far away from home. Well this is how wars are, this is what curfews are like. This is the uncertainty each soldier feels with their lives on the line. One slip, and you are dead. And dead are the men in your command. This, is lesson number one. A knee-jerk reaction to self-isolation, because we have grown up in world where we never had the time to understand and accept the most important person: us. For all those who hate their own company: I have been there, I know what it’s like.

It slowly dawned to me how human centric the world still is: even after the tech revolution, virtual venting of emotions and lives far away from home, people still matter. You still feel safer around known faces, your cell phones have failed you haven’t they? I see this is as an expression of a basic instinct coded in our DNA: roots. No matter how far you drift, no matter how easily the external world might seduce you, the cure to your anxieties and identity crisis is home.

Lesson three is a silly one but I will tell you anyway. Hollywood lies. Gulp it down with some warm water (it’s Flu season). You grew up masturbating to sci-fi which portrayed apocalypse as alien invasions, or as giant rocks from faraway corners of the solar system hitting the earth, or the resurgence of giant reptiles chewing away anything in sight. And here you’re, losing your erections over a flu virus you can’t even see. APOCALYPSE IS BORING. Trump won’t start a World War, and we will have to see the world end with Pakistan as an independent sovereign nation (yepp, hurts me too). Maybe.

The next lesson is but a verification of a very commonly known quote: common sense is not very common. You don’t have to be Tony Stark, or you don’t have to be Uri’s Vicky Kaushal, or some Allah sent fanatic to save the world. Staying at home, not touching your face and staying away from sick people will make you a hero anyway. But as you read this, you are shitting all over this aren’t you? There, proved my point.

The one plus side to all this, for me, has been self-connect. I used to read as a kid, maybe too much. I later on started writing too. I had a rich connect with music, and I used to think out loud with people worth floating those ideas. How much of this have I done lately? Nothing. The last good jam session was at a bar, few drinks down. Yes, the Indian Air Force posters on my bedroom wall also show me the depressing side of self-connect. But some goals are so worthy that it is glorious even to fail (as long as you don’t remember it later). I connected with my childhood, and maybe the next few months will help me re-dig the hero (Ending passand nai aayi? Badal dete hain.).

This is also a chance to repent. Not as individuals but as a species. We have done what all children have been known to do: promise our mothers a better life and then drifting away from her in search of our versions of ‘better’. And as a species, our version of better is a shithole. A bachelor apartment of a home (pardon me my bachelor friends, I know its hard to hide alcohol if the rooms are clean). If udta teer gaand me lena was a person, it would be us. Choking on the air we ourselves breathe, poisoning the waters we ourselves drink and killing species we evolved from. I am also pretty sure things will be business as usual once things return to sanity (is it the right word to use?). But I wish if we take away positives from this pandemic, we might as well reset how we live our everyday lives and how we treat life around us.

As we will see more and more of this disease unravel around us, we will see a divide, a natural one. Not Hindu-Muslim, not capitalist-communist or vegetarian-non-vegetarian ones. A more subtle division – of character. As the crisis grows and our systems will break and fall apart, people will start going back to the basics. Some of them, mentally weak and passive, will kill, loot, hoard and make everyday life one big riot. The other half (are there enough to be anywhere close to half?) will get out on the streets and fight this disease, looking out for those who can’t look out for themselves. People will forget their identities and new songs on unity will emerge as long as there is a strong common enemy (yeah I have been living on this planet long enough to see a pattern). And of course there will be chuts claiming Allah has given them natural immunity, or singing Go karuna karuna go will lead to the destruction of corona rakshash or that Jesus will take all our infection on him and save us. And I am sure if God exists, he would not even accommodate them in hell.

The last lesson is real power. It’s the power of ripples, nudges and small efforts if done together and done in the right direction. The faster we comply to these lockdowns, these safety measures the faster we might return to normalcy. It’s very easy laid out like this, but not easy doing it. The power of belief when a billion people (minus the street festival chuts) stood in solidarity with the country’s emergency services was a trailer of what a collective of democratic resolve can achieve. I wish we all can extend the same belief and efforts towards tackling poverty, hunger and climate change whose effects are not very drastic as say terrorism (effects are short term but drastic – so more funding to buy weapons).

It would be unfair to end this post without talking about solutions. We as engineers, entrepreneurs, doctors and other pillars of the society love to see and provide solutions. And I am not going to talk about quantum entanglement or how a neutron star can collapse under its own gravity to form a black hole. The most effective solutions are simple. Social distancing, planting more trees, buying only as much as you need. Staying hygienic. Staying in sync with nature. Managing stress. Kindness, empathy. Want to live up to the tag of ‘most intelligent species’? We might as well focus on simple acts we can do every day. Discover the hero/shero inside of us. One day at a time, in the isolated corners of your rooms, you might feed that hero and come out brighter and with better perspective.

I’ll do my best, but this is all from memory and I’m kinda biased so idk the quality.

The first arc is introducing the schools, and kind of meaningless but just know that Seigfeld is the rival school that’s strict, Rinmeikan is the old traditional school that’s a shadow of its former glory, and Frontier is the new school that isn’t really being taken seriously.

They’re taking part in some sort of audition where they face other schools but it really doesn’t matter. Anyways some stuff happens and all the schools team up to save Starlight from disappearing.

Each of the schools also have a school story where we see a bit more of the characters, but I’ll just briefly explain the plot.

Seisho is just some character establishing moments so no real plot.

Seigfeld’s student council has to replace a member because they dropped out, eventually choose her younger sister. And then it follows their adjustment period.

Rinmeikan hears that their department may be shut down, so they try and make it to the performance festival to make their school attractive to new drama students. They try and recruit the student who dropped out from Seigfeld and put on a good enough performance to make it to the performance festival, along with all the other schools they have to fight later.

Frontier follows two first years as they try and recruit people for their play at the school festival, and they meet three second years who were all discouraged from acting at one point or another and get them to shine on stage again.

Anyways then each of the schools get their own arc where someone disappears and no one can remember them. For Seisho, Maya disappears and there’s a world where Claudine is the top star, but that feels wrong to her so she remembers and they find Maya performing a play by herself on the underground stage, fighting the shadow monsters that almost destroyed Starlight. But everyone else joins her and they save her and restore their memories.

Then Seigfeld follows Akira and Michiru, who is their Ace and the chessmaster respectively, and they have to perform their school’s play, Elysion, to find their juniors in the student council because they all went missing like Maya.

So first they find Shiori, and we find out that she’s feeling confused because her sister, Fumi, dropped out without explaining why to her, so now she feels pressured to make up for that, but also really lost because everything is happening at once. So Akira comforts Shiori by revealing that she also felt the same because Fumi dropped out without telling her either, so they were in the same boat, and they kind of let all their feelings out about it together

Then Akira and Michiru find Mei Fan, the exchange student who came from China because she liked Akira’s performance. But at first they kind of dismiss her as just another fangirl, but her determination touches them and they start to like her enough to invite her to join them, since Akira started to take notice of the people around her. That was all a flashback by the way.

Then they find Yachiyo, and she had this thing initially where she was supposed to be a spy for the board of directors, but this story reveals that she was actually just doing that as an acting exercise because she thought being a spy would be fun, and since Akira plays along with her acting, the two of them get closer because they both feel the same way towards the stage, and Yachiyo feels accepted for the first time.

And then to complete the play, Akira and Michiru remember when they made a childhood promise to perform Elysion together, where Michiru saw Akira’s acting and promised to make one day get her to be the brightest star to ever perform that lead role.

So they save their play and we move onto Rinmeikan

So in Rinmeikan, they just got their performance department shut down and now have to transfer to the Gen Ed department, but none of them are happy about it.

So their leader, Tamao, feels guilty about not having done enough before, so she gets new determination and decides to put on a performance of Rinmeiki to get their department back.

So first she goes to Fumi, who is Shiori’s sister from earlier, and asks her to help her. And Fumi agrees because Tamao and Rinmeikan helped Fumi get back on stage after she dropped out of Seigfeld. So basically Fumi got scared of Shiori’s potential and got jealous. And because she didn’t like the person she was becoming, she ran away. But then Tamao and everyone else gave her another chance, so she owes them.

Then they go to ask Ichie for help, who reveals her past as a failed idol where she was in a group with over 100 members, but management didn’t care about them at all, even though they were all passionate about singing and dancing, and eventually it disbanded. So Ichie already knows the pain of having to give up too early and doesn’t want to go through that again with all her new friends, so she also wants to revive their department.

But the three of them are second years, and don’t want to get the first years in trouble because of the risk since they’re doing this behind the school’s back, so they exclude them.

Yuyuko feels unfulfilled without the department, so she secretly works on the script and asks the second years to let her help despite the risks, and they let her join them.

So eventually they do the guerilla performance on the roof, and seeing that, Rui joins them. Rui was pretty popular in the Gen Ed department and Tamao was also avoiding her because she felt guilty, but Rui still joins them because she followed Tamao to the school and wants to follow her on the stage, and it’s revealed that Yuyuko and Tamao had faith that Rui would join them.

And then everyone gets killed by the shadow monsters, but it is revealed that it was all part of the play, so they’re mostly fine since they finished it. And then they all resolve to work harder to reinstate their department in real life, and form the Performance Association at their school.

So then at Frontier, Aruru manages to do the saving the play thing that everyone else did by herself, because apparently the rest of her school aren’t real stage girls so they couldn’t join her

Anyways she doesn’t accept that and decides to put on a new play to prove it, which combines the wizard of oz with the play they did at their school, Captain Twins.

So first she finds Misora, her childhood friend. But Misora doesn’t want to go with her because she thinks that she doesn’t have any direction in life because she always follows Aruru, but Aruru tells her that Misora is the reason Aruru can have crazy ideas because Misora is the one who actually makes them realistic. And so Misora decides to go with her with renewed confidence.

Then they run into Lalafin, who also refuses to go with them since she thinks she’s stuck in the past since she always wants to do hero shows, to recreate her favorite shows back when she was a child actor. But Aruru shows her that her techniques got better because of that, so she was actually growing as an actor because of fondness of the past.

Then they find Tsukasa, who only started Theatre in High School and was praised as a good actor, but then she realized that she was just a big fish in a little pond and couldn’t actually grow at Frontier because they only want to keep students happy there and won’t seriously challenge them in case that makes them want to drop out. But Aruru convinces her that the fact she realized that means Tsukasa can grow in her own since she realized that, and she only just started.

And then they meet Shizuha, who reveals she’s been holding herself back because she was so good at acting that it made her classmates insecure give up on acting. She also feels guilty that the school used her as an advertisement, since she was on par with Maya and Akira, but Frontier didn’t really help her get there at all.

Anyways, Aruru and everyone else convince her that they won’t get discouraged, so Shizuha shouldn’t force herself to hold back on their account.

And then Misora reminds Aruru of the first time the two of them acted together, in the wizard of oz at her parent’s troupe, and how she inspired her so long ago.

Anyways, during all this, she actually inspires Elle, the person presiding over these Revues, and gets her to want to go to Frontier when she’s older. So because of that, the five of them resolve to change Frontier so it will one day be a good school for her.

And yeah, then Arcana Arcadia happens, which is kind of the culmination of all these arcs and the start of some of the movies stuff. It has a lot of moving parts so it’s hard to summarize. If you don’t want to watch it, you can read the transcript on Karth.top or the wikia.

Honestly I skipped a lot, but hopefully that gives the gist of what happened in the first parts. Honestly if any of that was interesting you should probably read the actual story since I didn’t do it justice here.

can someone make spark notes for the starira relive storyline and other schools i dont want to listen thru it myself

Mummy Special Long Post Alert ❤ Jab meri mummy har chote festival pe puri bnati thi I used to be like "Meri chapati hi banana, har 2sre din puri bana dete ho 🙄" and now I desperately wait for the moments/festivals/time where I can celebrate the small/big things by following her way of preparations. Though I still can't match her but I try my level best 🙂 Lesson learnt for life - Never underestimate the efforts and food feed by your mommy. It takes a lot of effort to make even the smallest things bigger. 😔 On that note, tell us what's your opinion on celebrating festivals or small winnings without preparing special food? ❓: Puri, Aloo Gobhi, aur Kheer 👩‍🍳: @bliss_bharvi 📍: #homesweethome #latepost #post #foodpost #foodporn #thali #puri #sabzi #aloogobi #kheer #pudding #dessert #desserts #dessertporn #gharkakhana #homechef #chef #teej #teejspecial #festivefood #festival #festivevibes #season #hariyaliteej #celebration #2021 #foodie #food #explorepage #explore (at New Delhi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSweOL-F0EY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Festival d'été de Québec : les impériaux Foo Fighters

Le groupe de Dave Grohl va enflammer le festival d’été de Québec le 9 juillet prochain 

Il y a des programmations qui, manifestement, n’ont plus rien à prouver, ni à envier aux autres. À Québec City, l’édition 2018 du festival d’été de Québec sera la plus explosive. Et c’est grâce, notamment, à ces incroyables têtes d’affiches internationales, qui vont fouler les scène du 5 au 15 juillet prochains.

Foo Fighters, le groupe – ou mastodonte – mené avec furie par Dave Grohl depuis plus de deux décennies, fait évidemment parti des festivités.

Depuis la sortie de son tout premier album éponyme en 1995, le groupe n’a cessé de grandir, atteignant le scintillement d’une légende du rock américain. Un exemple à suivre à la lettre pour toutes les nouvelles formations. C’est dire, son chanteur et guitariste – ex batteur de Nirvana – Dave Grohl, porte le projet avec tout son coeur. Toute son âme, aussi, si bien qu’il sera amené, des années plus tard, a jouer sur scène quelque soit son état de santé (une jambe cassée ? Pas de souci, jouons sur un trône !).

Au fil des années, des disques, le son des Foo Fighters s’est amplifié, a pris en maturité. Et en énervement. Les albums « One By One » et « In Your Honor » sont des instant classics. Mais la réelle révélation, qui a permis au groupe de conquérir les stades, c’est bien le disque « Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace » qui fait émerger le single planétaire « The Pretender ». Un an, pas plus, après « Skin And Bones » et l’immense morceau « Everlong ». Tant de titres ancrés dans les mémoires collectives des aficionados du genre.

Foo Fighters s’était déjà produit, en 2015 sur les plaines d’Abraham au festival d’été de Québec. Depuis cette prestation historique pour l’événement, les fans étaient nombreux à réclamer le grand retour du groupe. Et c’est chose faite : rendez-vous le lundi 9 juillet pour un concert grandiose, où les classiques vont s’enchaîner.
