[feelinhnostalgia]

I always loved English language from very start of my academic career and i loved learning as well. I used to get highest marks in English and I'm pretty proud of it now as well. I learned to read English in early stage and i so enjoyed reading paragraphs in my English period. Growing up i started watching England movies with subtitles and English songs and enjoyed every beat even though i didn't much.

Growing up in desi household, i did my schooling in my mother tongue and English was my second language. Till college i was taught education in my mother tongue. I started my college and i found it hard to understand what my professor was teaching us and i mostly couldn't understand for some time then i got familiar and i did completed my college with average marks. Even then i loved reading, writing in English and never had any difficulty solving any problems. Cause i loved it.

All of said and done, still I'm not fluent in English. I can't speak English. I can merely say two or three sentences together without fumbling. Yes, i can write very well without any spelling mistakes. Yeah i suck at grammar. I hated it. I can understand well what the other person is speaking thanks to my habit of watching Hollywood movies in English from early age. Thats how i developed my love for English.

Very sometimes it occurs to me that i cant speak fluently cause I've gone to various interviews and most the them were conducted in English till i say, "sir, I'm not fluent in English can we talk in hindi?". Being an adult saying that is an embarrassing thing itself cause people younger than me speaks English so fluently I'm literally in awe of them. And jealous a little.

I shouldn't be however cause they may have gone to English medium school and are already familiar with the language from early age. That makes me wish i was in English medium so i could nail the interview as i should. That's an another sad story. Moving on, just sometimes it sucks when i can't speak cause it's a requirement for job and other purposes. If you can speak English you wont get a job. That's how it goes around here.

You know, it's okay! Cause I can write, read and understand the language very well. Hell, i have established myself as a writer and I'm so so so proud of it. There are people who reads my writings and feels emotions they're afraid to feel. They cry, they breakdown, they laugh, they love and I'm glad i chose to write. It wasn't in my plan but I'm glad i did. It feels good to be known as writer! A writer who doesn't speak the language but nails it everytime he writes.

I think what people doesn't understand is that how difficult for me is to write in English given I'm not from English medium school, never spoke the language in my daily life, and never interacted in English unless its interviews. They see me as well known writer but they don't know the difficulties and hurdles i faced to get here wher i am now. I'm not a published writer. However, I'm proud of my mother tongue. Its the easiest language in the whole world. You can learn it in six months if you're determined to learn.

I'm proud when i see big companies hoardings in my mother tongue and not in English. Cause here if you want sell you're going to have to deal with my mother tongue first. I'm proud that i didn't have to learn it i just knew it. That still doesn't change the fact the world runs by English language and I'm still not mastered in it. My fault you can say, but their fault as well cause they made it mandatory to speak and learn it. So, if you're someone who can't speak English very well, i see you, i feel you and i hear you, cause you and me are the same.

[hadeth]

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضي الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ كُلُّ مَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ صحيح البخاري حديث ٦٠٢١ - صحيح مسلم من حديث حذيفة رضي الله عنه ١٠٠٥

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, " Enjoining, all that is good is a Sadaqa."  Sahih al-Bukhari 6021In-book reference : Book 78, Hadith 52 // Sahih Muslim 1005 In-book reference : Book 12, Hadith 65

((كُلُّ مَعْرُوفٍ )): المعروف هو ما عُرف في الشرع حسنه فيشمل أعمال البر عامة.

(( صَدَقَةٌ )): الصدقة: هي العطية من مال وغيره مما يُبتغى به وجه الله تعالى ورجاء ما عنده من الثواب، وتطلق على الصدقة الواجبة كالزكاة وعلى الصدقة المستحبة وهي المرادة في حديثي الباب، فالصدقة معناها في الشريعة عام ومنها الصدقة بالمال.

في حديثي الباب دلالة على أن مفهوم الصدقة مفهوم واسع لا يقتصر على الأموال فقط، وإنما كل معروف صدقة، فقد تكون الصدقة بالأقوال كالتسبيح والتكبير والتحميد والتهليل، وكذا الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر، وقد تكون بالأفعال كالأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر، فإن من المنكر ما يتغير باليد، وسيأتي أن إماطة الأذى، وإعانة الرجل في حمل متاعه والخطى إلى الصلوات كلها صدقات، وقد تكون الصدقة بالنيات ومن ذلك احتساب المباحات؛... حديث: كل معروف صدقة

وفي هذا الحَديثِ يُوضِّحُ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم هذا المَعْنى ويُؤكِّدُه؛ حيثُ يُخبِرُنا أنَّ فِعْلَ المعروفِ صَدقةٌ عندَ اللهِ، يُثيبُ المؤمنَ عليه، ويُجازيه به وإنْ قَّل؛ لعُمومِ قولِه: «كلُّ مَعروفٍ صَدقةٌ»؛ فكلُّ مَعروفٍ يَصنَعُه الإنسانُ مِن أعمالِ الخيرِ والبِرِّ له حُكمُ الصَّدقةِ في الثَّواب؛ فإغاثةُ الملهوفِ صَدقةٌ، والكلمةُ الطيِّبة صَدقةٌ، وقِراءةُ القُرآنِ صَدقةٌ، ونَوافلُ العباداتِ البدنيَّةِ كلِّها صَدقةٌ، كما في الصَّحيحَينِ من حِديثِ أبي هُرَيرةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنه، أنَّ النبيَّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم قال: «... تَعدِلُ بيْنَ الاثنَينِ صَدَقةٌ، وتُعينُ الرَّجُلَ في دابَّتِه فتَحمِلُه عليها أو تَرفَعُ له عليها مَتاعَه: صَدَقةٌ. قال: والكَلِمةُ الطَّيِّبةُ صَدَقةٌ، وكُلُّ خُطوةٍ تَمشيها إلى الصَّلاةِ صَدَقةٌ، وتُميطُ الأذى عن الطَّريقِ صَدَقةٌ��. وفي الحَديثِ: الحثُّ على عَمَلِ المَعْروفِ مُطلَقًا. الدرر السنية

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that every goodness and benefit for others, whether in words or deeds, is regarded as a charity, and its doer obtains a reward for it. 

Benefits from the Hadith

The Hadīth indicates that charity is not limited to what a person spends out of his money, but it includes everything good a person says or does to others. 

It encourages us to do what is good and beneficial to others. 

We should not belittle any act of goodness, even if it was simple. Hadith Translation/ Explanation : Urdu Spanish Indonesian Uyghur Bengali French Turkish Russian Bosnian Sinhalese Indian Chinese Persian Vietnamese Tagalog Kurdish Hausa Portuguese Malayalam Telugu Swahili Tamil Burmese Thai German Japanese Pashto Assamese Albanian Swedish Amharic Dutch Gujarati Kyrgyz Nepali Yoruba Lithuanian Dari Serbian Somali Kinyarwanda Romanian Hungarian Czech Italian Oromo Kannada : https://hadeethenc.com/en/browse/hadith/5346

Are u Indian? I'm Indian and I've wanted to make digital art since I was a kid but it always felt like something only westerners can do :")

I love your style, how did you learn?

Hello there!! Yes! I’m Gujarati 🕺🏾☺️

Aw goodness, I can understand how you feel—our families put an insane amount of pressure on us to succeed in becoming doctors and engineers 😔 so much so that art seems to become an unobtainable thing—

Here to say that art is absolutely something that can be done by anyone and everyone!

There are no rules that dictate who can or can’t make art 😤 it seems unobtainable because of the world we live in—and unfortunately our families are right in saying that a good paying job=security 🤲🏽 therefore I do this as a side thing!

I’ve always been a doodler, since I was a little kid! My grandpa would often bring back “how to draw” books from India and I’d devour those up. He really fueled my love for a lot of things, so I’m eternally grateful to him 🫶🏽 hand sketching turned into using coloured pencils turned into copic markers turned into wacom tablet turned into iPad ☺️ as the pipeline goes!

If you’re interested in making art, absolutely have at it and have fun ☺️!!!

New Releases

All of these books look interesting to me. I don't even know which book I want to add to my TBR reading list first. 

Gita Desai Is Not Here to Shut Up by Sonia Patel Penguin/Nancy Paulsen Books

It’s eighteen-year-old Gita Desai’s first year at Stanford University, and it’s a miracle she’s here and not already married off by her traditional Gujarati parents. She’s determined to death-grip her good-girl, model-student rep all the way to medical school, which means no social life or standing out in any way. Should be easy: If there’s one thing she’s learned from her family it’s how to chup-re—to “shut up,” fade into the background.

But when childhood memories of her aunt’s desertion and her then-uncle’s best friend resurface, Gita ditches the books night after night in favor of partying and hooking up with strangers. Still, nothing can stop the nagging voice in her head that’s growing louder and louder, insisting something’s wrong… and the only way she can burst forward is to stop shutting-up about the past.

Ida, in Love and in Trouble by Veronica Chambers Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Before she became a warrior, Ida B. Wells was an incomparable flirt with a quick wit and a dream of becoming a renowned writer. The first child of newly freed parents who thrived in a community that pulsated with hope and possibility after the Civil War, Ida had a big heart, big ambitions, and even bigger questions: How to be a good big sister when her beloved parents perish in a yellow fever epidemic? How to launch her career as a teacher? How to make and keep friends in a society that seems to have no place for a woman who speaks her own mind? And – always top of mind for Ida – how to find a love that will let her be the woman she dreams of becoming?

Ahead of her time by decades, Ida B. Wells pioneered the field of investigative journalism with her powerful reporting on violence against African Americans. Her name became synonymous with courage and an unflinching demand for racial and gender equality. But there were so many facets to Ida Bell and critically acclaimed writer Veronica Chamber unspools her full and colorful life as Ida comes of age in the rapidly changing South, filled with lavish society dances and parties, swoon-worthy gentleman callers, and a world ripe for the taking.

Till the Last Beat of My Heart by Louangie Bou-Montes HarperCollins

When you grow up in a funeral home, death is just another part of life. But for sixteen-year-old Jaxon Santiago-Noble, it’s also part of his family’s legacy. Most dead bodies in the town of Jacob’s Barrow wind up at Jaxon’s house; his mom is the local mortician, after all. He doesn’t usually pay them much mind, but when Christian Reyes is brought in after a car accident, Jaxon’s world is turned upside down.

There are a lot of things Jaxon wishes he could have said to his once best friend and first crush. When he accidentally resurrects Christian, Jaxon might finally have that chance. But the more he learns about his newfound necromancy, the more he grasps that Christian’s running on borrowed time—and it’s almost out.

As he navigates dark, mysterious magics and family secrets, Jaxon realizes that stepping into an inherited power may also mean opening up old family wounds if he wants to keep the boy he may be falling for alive for good.

Fifteen-year-old Kam is head over heels for Ash, the boy who swept him off his feet. But his family and best friend, Bodie, are worried. Something seems off about Ash. He also has a habit of disappearing, at times for days. When Ash asks Kam to join him on a trip to Joshua Tree, the two of them walk off into the sunset . . . but only Kam returns.

Two years later, Kam is still left with a hole in his heart and too many unanswered questions. So it feels like fate when a school trip takes him back to Joshua Tree. On the trip, Kam wants to find closure about what happened to Ash but instead finds himself in danger of facing a similar fate. In the desert, Kam must reckon with the truth of his past relationship—and the possibility of opening himself up to love once again.

Desert Echoes is a propulsive, moving story about human resilience and connection.

Between the Pipes Story by Albert McLeod with Elaine Mordoch and Sonya Ballantyne (Contributor) & illustrated by Alice RL HighWater Press

Thirteen-year-old Chase’s life and identity should be simple. He’s the goalie for his hockey team, the Eagles. He’s a friend to Kevin and Jade. He’s Kookum’s youngest grandchild. He’s a boy. He should like girls.

But it’s not that simple. Chase doesn’t like girls the way that the other boys do. It’s scary being so different from his peers. Scarier still is the feeling that his teammates can tell who he is—and that they hate him for it. If he pretends hard enough, maybe he can hide the truth.

Real strength and change can’t come from a place of shame. Chase’s dreams are troubled by visions of a bear spirit, and the more he tries to hide, the more everything falls apart. With the help of an Elder, and a Two-Spirit mentor, can Chase find the strength to be proud of who he is?

“Between the Pipes” explores toxic masculinity in hockey through the experiences of an Indigenous teen.

They Thought They Buried Us by NoNieqa Ramos Carolrhoda Lab

Horror fan and aspiring film director Yuiza gets a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

As one of the few students of color at Our Lady of Perpetual Mercy, Yuiza immediately feels out of place. A brutal work-study schedule makes it impossible to keep up with the actual classes. Every expense, from textbooks to laundry, puts Yuiza into debt. And the behavior of students and faculty is… unsettling.

Yuiza starts having disturbing dreams about the school’s past and discovers clues about the fate of other scholarship students. It’ll take all Yuiza’s knowledge of the horror genre to escape from Our Lady’s grasp.

How to Lose a Best Friend by Jordan K. Casomar MTV Books

For as long as anyone can remember, Zeke Ladoja and Imogen Parker have been best friends. Their classmates, their parents, and even the school custodian think that they’re meant to be together. And that’s exactly what Zeke wants: for Gen to be his girlfriend. Now that she’s about to be sixteen (and allowed to date), Zeke is finally going to tell her how he feels—in front of everyone at her birthday party.

Imogen loves Zeke with all her heart, but only as a friend. The pressure to be with Zeke has sometimes been overwhelming, but up to this point, she’s been able to manage it. Then she falls for the new boy, Trevor Cook, and she knows the news will devastate Zeke. The last thing she wants to do is hurt her best friend, but she also resents the fact that no one seems to care about what she wants.

The night of Gen’s party, everything goes wrong. There’s backlash, most of it directed at Gen, and Zeke feels emboldened. He isn’t about to give up on his feelings, and he’ll do whatever it takes to prove that she made the wrong choice…even if it means destroying their friendship. But Gen isn’t about to give up on fighting for herself and the freedom to love the boy she wants, not the boy she’s expected to be with.
