Krishna if he was Gen Z
A mandatory ‘Woke up like this’ story on his pvt where he actually woke up looking pretty in those messy locks and long lashes.
Greeting everyone as he walks down the lane.
Doesn’t bother carrying a tiffin because he’s sure Rukmini would bring two extra tiffins just for him.
Probably has ‘Keep Calm & carry on’ quote on his table.
Begged Rukmini into making a ‘Take a look at my girlfriend’ reel and posted it across all his socials.
Brought a cute little cactus and forgot to water it. This cycle keeps repeating every time.
Has an entire wall in his house dedicated to fit all the Talent Hunt trophies he has won by playing the Flute.
Once went to play cricket with the kids in his colony and hit the ball soo far that they never let him touch the bat again.
On popular demand, has a ‘my curly hair care routine’ video posted on his Instagram.
Endless Pani Puri competitions with Bheem that he has ‘surprisingly’ never won.
Phone’s gallery always filled with candid pictures of Rukmini, local cows, his dead cactus and screenshots of recipes.

south asian!ballister part three!
it's times like these where I can't help but feel a little bad for people who have little to no interest in these headcanons, because this is my third day in a row posting these and I feel as though they may be clogging up the tags a little bit
oH WELL
speaking of, part one is here, and part two is here!
also, I saw someone asking if people can use these in their own headcanons or fics or art and YES, absolutely yes!! but if you do, please tag me (or whatever the equivalent of that is, I'm still very new to tumblr, this is like my fourth post) because I would love to see it!!
okay I ripped up tumblr to find this but this stream of headcanons is inspired by this post!
specifically this part "I find the idea of Nimona not being able to handle spicy food but loving it at the same time hilarious Especially considering the fact that they’re living with two Asian men and Asians don’t play about spice (I swear to this day my Mama burned both her and my tastebuds off) They try really hard to look tough and eat all the food they’re given But snot is running down their face and there are tears in their eyes and they need to take constant breaks Poor baby coughs when you add sriracha to their food Whereas Bal and Ambrosius are out here guzzling hot sauce like it’s water Nimona prays on their downfall while also begging the boys to teach them their ways"
credit to @a-dumb-sarcastic-bisexual for the above segment
so, naturally, ballister and ambrosius have an incredibly high spice tolerance
back in their institute days, they would have little contests on who could intake the most spice without faltering
neither of them could consistently best the other, it was inconsistent results and basically was just a 50/50 situation
ambrosius is the kind of person to eat a ghost pepper straight and be like "oh that's kind of spicy" in the most casual but mildly interested voice ever. as if he's pleasantly surprised
pre-canon, ambrosius would have bal test the spice level of dishes, but post-canon, he realized that wasn't the best idea, so he gave the job to nimona instead
there's this south asian condiment called "achaar", and it's basically... okay I have no idea how to explain it but the wikipedia definition is South Asian pickles, also known as Avalehikā, Uppinakaayi, Pachadi, Loncha or Noncha, Achaar, Athāṇu or Athāṇo or Athāna, Khaṭāī or Khaṭāin, Sandhan or Sendhan or Sāṇdhāṇo, Kasundi, or oorugaai is a pickled food made from a variety of vegetables and fruits preserved in brine, vinegar, edible oils, and various South Asian spices.
it basically adds a sort of tangy spicy flavor to your food
and while that sounds kind of strange I swear it's good
actually I don't like achaar very much but I've heard from family members that it's good LMAO
anyways, ballister uses it religiously. he LOVES that shit
there is a jar of achaar on the table at all times
ambrosius doesn't like it and it's too spicy for nimona, but they get it anyways because of how much ballister likes it
speaking of food,
there are certain south asian foods that ballister really holds close to his heart
like, he got them at the orphanage, but never at the institute
so like, street foods
specifically pani puri (also called golgappa and probably more names) because it's my favorite
for those of you who don't know what that is, it literally translates to "water (pani) deep fried bread (puri)" but that is the worst explanation ever so just google it
ballister, obviously, can't cook anything except rice and chai (I mean, seriously, just look at him. he's banned from the kitchen), so he never learned to make any of those traditional south asian recipes he loves
one day, post-canon, ambrosius finds a place that specializes in pani puri and remembers ballister describing them to him pre-canon and decides to grab some
he brings them home and when he shows ballister, Ballister was silent for a moment, a tantalizing, tense moment that had Ambrosius all but holding his breath. His anxiety began rising as his gaze flickered from Ballister to his setup on the table and back again. Maybe I misread his reminiscence all those years ago, Ambrosius panicked internally. Oh god, maybe I completely misremembered it and he has no connection to this at all. Or, worse, I crossed a line I shouldn't have even approached. "Uh," Ambrosius managed an awkward chuckle. "I saw a place, and it reminded me of something you once said, and I thought it might be a good idea but I guess it wasn't and I probably shouldn't have led with 'I have a surprise you'll like' because that just sets up expectations and-" His rapid-fire speech was completely silenced when Ballister crossed the room in a few long strides, cupped Ambrosius's face in his hands, whispered "I love you so much." in a voice that sounded almost choked up, and kissed him.
anyways, south asian food, especially street food, holds an incredibly special place in his heart
this last one I'm kind of torn on my approach to it, but it still felt worth throwing in the pot
horrible pakistani dramas
god I hate them
so, there are two options here
option A, ballister hates them too
he can't stand them, he complains about them whenever they come up, if for whatever reason he has to watch one he'll rip apart the plot so much so that the writers would never recover if they heard him
or option B, ballister has a love/hate relationship with them
because let's be real, no one other than my thrice divorced aunt ACTUALLY likes them
now option B can go a number of different ways
maybe bal really hates the idea of them and hates the plot, but goddamnit it, they STILL get him stupidly invested in the plot to the point where he's yelling at all the characters in urdu and on the verge of ugly crying and going on an angry rant and just bundling himself up in a miserable blanket blob
or maybe he hates them in theory, but they're a guilty pleasure that he only really indulges in for the kind of entertainment where it's so bad it's entertaining
I honestly have no clue if ANY of those are in character, but I'm sure if I shoot either one of them or some combination of multiple, it'll be at least slightly accurate, right?
finally, two super short ones!
ballister has a rule against no shoes in the house
"oh, but he's seen wearing shoes in the house in the movie!" uh, yeah, in a dusty ass abandoned tower. only AFTER he had it all cleaned out and actually furnished (post-canon) did he (and ambrosius!) start taking off their shoes indoors
and
he sits down to eat or drink
even just a glass of water, he'll sit down for it
even if 'sitting down' entails sitting on a table
it's just a force of habit at this point
looking at my notes, that is actually everything I have written down! this means that these headcanons will probably cease now, as it might take me a while to come up with more.
we'll see though!
-Storm

Pani puri recipe
Certainly! Here’s an easy recipe to make Pani Puri at home:
Ingredients: For the Puris:
1 cup semolina (sooji/rava) 1/four cup all-reason flour (maida) 1/four teaspoon baking soda Water (as wanted for dough) Oil for deep frying
For the Pani (Spiced Water):
1 cup sparkling mint leaves
half cup clean coriander (cilantro) leaves
2-3 green chilies (adjust to flavor)
1-inch piece of ginger, peeled
1 small lemon (juice)
1 tablespoon tamarind paste
1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
1 teaspoon chaat masala
1/2 teaspoon black salt
Salt to flavor
2-3 cups chilled water
For the Filling:
2 medium-sized boiled potatoes, mashed
1 cup cooked chickpeas (boiled)
Tamarind chutney
Green chutney (non-obligatory)
Chaat masala (elective)
Instructions:
Puri Preparation:
Make the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the semolina, all-motive flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually upload water and knead the combination right into a stiff dough. Cover it with a humid fabric and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
Shape and Fry:
Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into small circles (puris) with the usage of a rolling pin. Aim for a round three cm in diameter. Heat oil in a deep-frying pan. Once warm, fry the puris in batches until they sing their praises and flip golden brown. Remove and place them on paper towels to empty excess oil.
Pani Preparation:
Prepare the Spice Paste:
Blend mint leaves, coriander leaves, inexperienced chilies, and ginger into a nice paste with the usage of a blender or food processor.
Make the Pani:
In a huge mixing bowl, integrate the mint-coriander paste, tamarind paste, lemon juice, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, black salt, normal salt, and chilled water. Mix nicely and regulate the seasoning in step with taste. Keep it refrigerated until serving.
Assembling:
Prepare the Fillings:
Mix mashed potatoes and boiled chickpeas. Add a pinch of chaat masala for added taste if favored. Create a small hollow in the center of every puri and fill it with the potato-chickpea mixture.
Serve:
Arrange the stuffed puris on a serving plate. Just before serving, pour the prepared chilled highly spiced water (pani) into each puri using a small spoon or a funnel. Enjoy:
Serve the PaniPuris right away and savor the burst of flavors.
Tips:
Adjust the spice tiers within the pani in step with your preference. Ensure the puris are rolled flippantly to make sure they self-praise well while frying. You can adjust the filling elements based totally on non-public flavor. Making Pani Puri at domestic lets you personalize the flavors and experience this cherished avenue food snack proper to your kitchen!

hello on this day of nice asks i would like to ask about the love of my life aishwarya. how did you come up with her, misc trivia (what’s her favorite ice cream flavor, what dish is her absolute weakness, what kinds of books does she love) things you’re going to include in the series and things you’re not i want to know everything pls
oh my god i could go on for ages about her, i love aishu to pieces. i have an entire "aishu begins" style fic in the works, but i am happy to feed you until i finish that one (which wont be for a while lmao)
okay aishwarya rajesh is a heavy combination of people i know in my life, and some of my own personality traits thrown in there. there's a lot to be said about the lack of queer poc/brown women in hollywood, and that was definitely a driving factor of in the creation of her character. she was originally someone i would just write these little scenarios about in the margins of my notebook, going as far back as my freshman year of high school with a couple of other OCs.
ironically, i've always had the same face claim and profession for aish - anupama parameswaran (who is absolutely stunning btw) and paramedic. She evolved as I did, fleshing out into a fully fleshed character over the years.
when i restarted lone star and started engaging in the fandom, i realized that this was a safe space for this character i had shaped into someone i loved so dearly.
anyway enough about how i created her <3
favorite ice cream flavor: has to be haagen-dazs coffee-chip or talenti's chocolate peanut butter cup gelato. she's literally obsessed with chocolate and peanut butter, it's a sureshot way of getting you to forgive her.
favorite dish: aloo paratha, oh my god it's pani puri. whenever tk and carlos did something really stupid, they'd go begging Aparna to help them make aloo paratha so she'd forgive them. once carlos started picking up cooking, carlos started making it himself, picking up so many other recipes. it's a bonding thing for the trio now, where they all go to one of the three houses and make one of aparna's recipes. they absolutely carry this into their adult life, and it's one of aishwarya's favorite traditions that was carried from their childhood.
books she loves: crime thrillers. she's obsessed with them, she thinks there's so goddamn interesting, and she will make carlos read them with her and send him her insane theories (she's right almost 95% percent of the time and it drives carlos nuts) (he doesn't know she reads ahead and actually knows how it ends, and she just likes his reaction) (tk does know this and watches the chaos unfold with his cider every. single. time.)
okay so i've alluded to an aish/iris relationship before, but never really discussed anything, buuuut aish's got an ex-boyfriend, rahul. thye broke up on good terms because rahul realized aish was in love with iris but wasn't ready to confront it yet. they stayed friends and i have not decided yet, but i think they hooked up on and off throughout college, after which iris and aish reconnect again romantically (they do repair their friendship, but they both wanted more)
i'm cutting myself off, because i could tak about her for hours and still have more to share. she's so special to me.
send me more asks about her, please. i love talking about her.

what: I've been inspired by my adopt a fic post to turn my ideas into monthly fic prompts, and here's the first post for it woohoo! These are inspired by events from when I was around 15-18 years old (wow that feels like such a long time ago)
prompts masterlist
TCK DEFINITION: Third culture kids or third culture individuals are people who were raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their country of nationality, and also live in a different environment during a significant part of their child development years.
[Psst prompt requests are also OPEN]
Character A never understanding why people get excited over countries [it’s all the same places with different languages], but also gets excited over cafes, shabby restaurants and grocery stores.
Character A never owned a pet because it’s expensive taking an animal abroad with them or asking someone to take or it when they were abroad was out of their budget. Character B surprises them with a pet on their birthday/anniversary/ occasion/etc, and Character A just falls in love even more.
Character B tells Character A a long-distance relationship won't work, Character A is confused because they’ve maintained relationships from all over the world.
Character A crying in their kitchen after they’ve tried making tea/ a sandwich, because ‘it’s not the same’. Character B tells them that they found a place despite character B never tasting the original thing.
Character A’s love language is organising/ packing, and Character B is sick before a trip and wakes up to their things packed.
Character A is never fond of bringing gifts to their relatives back home. After making friends in their home country, Character A goes on their first gift-shopping spree and actually feels excitement.
Character A and Character B both fly to their home countries during the summer/ winter/school break and have made a promise to always get each other the most bizarre things they can find.
Character B and C visit Character A’s house and are confused with their food choices. [I put Kimchi in Pani puri shells, 10/10 recommend]
Character A longing for someone in their current country to love them enough that will make character A stay.
Character B sees the world map in Character A’s apartment wall and asks about it. While Character A is doing so, Character B holds so much love in their eyes/ falls in love with them more.
Character A has tried every cuisine in the world . . . Character B swears that their mother’s cooking/ family recipe will make them stay in the country they are in.

Hello Pretty Lady!
Ahh is this really it?? 4 days left?? Time really swooosshheeddd.. hehe.
The past week has been super crazy. I've been wanting to cook and eat delish foods, cooking is also a task yanoe, you cook for 3 hours and the meal just finishes in 3 minutes, WHAT A SCAM!!!
Today I'm back with another recipe!! We'll be having it today so I'm writing down the recipe hehe..
It's চটপটি (Côṭpôṭi), basically a street food but we make this at home too.
I'll be sharing a video too since writing down is pretty hard, and videos are always easy to follow. Here we get the spice blend in packaged form, but you can make that too.
The steps are pretty easy,
boil white chickpeas with salt and a little turmeric till cooked through. Keep the water, that'll be needed. Boil some eggs and potatoes as well.
I'm sure yall know about Meethi Chutney, the one that is used in pani puri sometimes and made with tamarind, our tamarind water is similar but spicier and watery in consistency. The video has it all.
Watch the video for the spice mix, add that to the boiled chickpeas, add shredded egg and potatoes to it. Then mix. Add the tamarind water too.
Adjust your spice level accordingly, add some thinly sliced onions and chillies if you like. Add crushed papad to it. And done!
I hope you get to eat it, making this thing is like a project on hand hehe. But so worth it! I like to add a bit of sweetened yogurt to it sometimes it tastes amazing to me.
That's how this bowl of heaven looks like. I hope you get to make it someday.
4 days to go……. 💜
