#her name is def gonna be “heera”

[skiddo-xy]

Watching Heeramandi is realy making me appreciate Urdu because the actors speak in such a beautiful Urdu and the characters have beautiful Urdu names. Sometimes with Urdu amidst all the roman Urdu usage online and how Lahore(my family's city)'s pollution and poverty doesn't capture it's historically-held beauty. And my Pakistani culture is one of my biggest prides it's jsut that I don't associate other aspects of our culture which I love such as our food and clothing with Urdu for some reason unlike our history etc (idk exactly what is making that part of my brain tick.) And as I was watching this my dad (2nd gen Pakistani) mentioned that his sisters are jealous of how his Urdu has gotten noticeably better than theirs (it used to be worse) (and yes they are all adults lol). Too bad the subtitles aren't available in Urdu because that could accelerate my Urdu learning and I never felt the need to learn the Hindi writing system as a Muslim-origin Pakistani. I finished episode 1 a few minutes ago and I can definitely see myself rewatching this series 💚💚💚
