#yes i know but it would eventually be so kuch better

[starrycassi]

The fact that there seems to be no schools on Zaun is so fucking sad. Like why is Silco doing allat to "better Zaun" instead of installing like two public schools. Baby get those children of the mines and start teaching them about the french revolution and I ASSURE YOU that you'll get an independent nation in no time. There's no one more radicalized that oppressed people realizing that populations before them HAVE managed to change their status in story. Like the week we covered this specific topic in class my group became completely different. We managed to get more budget for half of our activities. Actually made a formal complaint with signatures and all for a horrible teacher. Managed to get the principal to allow us to bring a DJ for prom (mind you this was a catholic, all-girls type of school)

EDUCATE THE CHILDREEEEEN. SILCOOOOO. GIVE THOSE FUCKERS ALGEBRA HOMEWORK.

Yes I know systemic issues and at the end is all piltover's fault but silco my darling dearest I assure you funding a school would be cheaper than those goddamn shimmer suits. ALSO he could've manipulated the next generation via completely modifying the curriculum! Like, Silco! Hear me out! This would give you control over most of the kids in the fucking place. Even if not all of the show up to class, you only need ONE of them spreading the bullshit you feed them to their friends who will spew it to their friends who will- one kid is enough!! Now imagine a hundred of them. You can actually poison families from the fucking inside.

Why do "villains" never go for the schools. Especially patient ones. Like give it ten years and you've got a small guerrilla. Shooting lessons instead of P.E. Get your goons to train them. Like you could be SO much more powerful. It would skew the public's perception of him. He could pull a "It was ME who brought education to the children of Zaun. I stand for its progress. Will you stand with us, too?" And people would EAT IT UUUUUP

Lightning Farron (Final Fantasy XIII) vs Fa Mulan (Mulan)

Better here in a "preferred character" sense, not "who would win in a fight")

Propaganda below cut

Lightning

She uses a Gunblade. A sword thats also a gun. Said to be very rare because it takes so much skill to use. Does lots of slashing and backflips. Later becomes Champion of A God and sword fights a guy for eternity. Later becomes champion of a Different god and uses lots of different swords; She is dramatic and has lots of character growth and is awesome.

#Did I mention she can grill up a good steak#but that's all she can cook#She stabs a god in the face with a pocketknife#she punches dudes in the face#she meets a hot australian chick and slaps her and then shows her her tits#She has a suit of armor and a horse cause she a knight#yes i'll propagandize for her in her every poll cause she's perf

Fa Mulan

Soldier who saved all of china; She’s one of the ogs, man, her movie is a banger

i know she's a problematic fave but i still love her :(

[goldenmorningglory]

thinking of patpran kuch kuch hota hai au.

pat and pran are the rival best friends, the two diametrically different guys who everyone knows about. where one goes the other follows. there's not an hour where they're not competing in something. they're a set. for better or for worse.

enter ink. she's a transfer, she's classy, strong doesn't take bs. pat seemingly falls like a tower of cards. pran feels like fading into the background.

ink and pat get along like a house on fire. pat thinks it's chemistry. pat waxes poetry about ink uncomfortably to pran while pran thinks his insides should stop squirming. he's not jealous of pat right? ink is nice but really he prefers to be friends. so why does he feel like dying when pat keeps talking about her with stars in his eyes?

pat tells pran he's gonna propose. pran scoffs as is customary for them, then ruffles Pat's hair in encouragement. Pat's eyes flicker for a second, searching before he grins. pran breaks a little inside.

pran recieves a letter saying his mother has fallen ill, and that he should make haste back home. he tries to find pat to tell him but eventually gives up.

pat is busy being in love with ink. why would he care.

ink spots him and asks why he's at the admins office. he tells her the truth, not thinking of what he's wishing for. he's leaving the next day, bags all packed and ready.

he's boarded the train and standing at the door, wondering why he foolishly wants to hear pat's voice again. they were friends, maybe best friends. they competed.

but as luck would have it pran fell in love with pat. and pat was in love with ink.

the train gives a warning whistle when he hears a voice, all too familiar voice, yell over the station din. his grip tightens on the door handle as he spots him.

pat. who's running to him, where he stands in the door of the train, which is now inching away.

"why didn't you tell me???!! pran why...?"

pran shrugs, feeling vindicated and worse. he smiles, hoping his heartbreak is hidden.

"slipped my mind."

he sees ink just behind pat, and in a look of understanding that shocks even him, she nods like she knows all his secrets.

"take care of him?"

"i will."

as the train moves away picking speed, pran trains his gaze on Pat's face, whose expression looks like a battlefield of emotions. right before then bend, he thinks he sees a shine in those eyes he loved so much.

he wonders if pat would miss him enough to shed a tear.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

so. pat really needs to take a break. his mom tells him. his sister tells him. his sister in law tells him. gods above even his neice tells him. and pat may not listen to anyone, but he'll listen to his neice cause that's how much he adores her.

"right uncle?" prana looks at him with glittering eyes and a conniving dimple in her cheek.

pat sighs.

"fine. what's your idea?"

prana grins.

"take me to summer camp!"

"the one you've been trying to convince your moms to let you go to?"

"yes!" her pout, puppy dog eyes combo could rival pat's own, as pa loves to remind him, chastising him for teaching her daughter the vile ways of bribery.

and so he does.

well it seems to be pretty popular, considering the number of harried parents scrambling after their kids. prana stays obidently by his side, small hand in his. she really reminds him of -

"okay okay can I please get you guys to form a line? can you do that for me?"

there's no way, there's no way-

prana's giggling gives away the fact that pat has been played, he's been hoodwinked and bamboozled-

"pat?"

pat turns, a war of emotions in his chest. he's so beautiful. he's also blinded by the very obvious ring on his finger. pat feels like he wants to break.

"hey pran."

Things Parents Should NEVER Say If They Want to Raise Empowered Daughers.

Remember that words have the power to wound, irreparably. What parents say matters, so be careful what you say if you want to raise confident daughters. Growing up in Indian households comes with its own issues. Growing up as a girl in Indian households is another matter altogether. Even today, there are some statements that have become so hideously commonplace in Indian families, that our elders either do not, or cannot understand the enormous impact these statements have on the psyche of young girls and children in general. Here are 4 examples of seemingly innocuous statements that are thrown at girls in Indian households, without a thought and understanding, which need to be banned immediately. “Behave like a girl. Don’t talk back!” Behave like a girl. Don’t talk back! (Ladkiyon jaise raho. Ulta jawab mat do / zabaan mat ladao) What does this even mean – to behave like a girl? How do we define what ‘behaving like a girl’ entails? Is it to be submissive? Comformative? Meek? Feminine? This reeks of the same stereotype that is used for the other gender – ‘Be a Man.’ Children who are constantly berated for talking back, or expressing their opinions out loud, are brainwashed into thinking that it is ‘unbecoming’ to argue (in case of women), or cry (in case of men); these children grow up to develop an inferiority complex so strong, that they cannot even raise their voices in opposition to wrong things. These children bear the weight of this nonsensical societal expectations of what a girl is, or what a man is, for the rest of their lives. In the case of women, this conditional suppression of their ability to speak up for themselves and stand for their own well being is one of the primary reasons behind their consistent subjugation. Not knowing any better, young girls adopt meekness, considering it to be a virtue, even at the cost of their lives. Is it inherent and internalized prejudice that leads us to assume girls as being somehow weaker or inferior than boys, even if they are not? Or to assume that expressing emotion, or crying, are somehow specifically feminine traits? If yes, this needs to stop now. Children do not have to bear the burden of their parents’ ideologies and prejudices. Let them discover what ‘behaving like a girl’ or ‘being a man’, means for themselves. “Daughters are someone else’s property, their real home is their husband’s” Daughters are someone else’s property. The home of their biological parents is not their home after all, their REAL homes are the ones they will have after marriage. (Betiyan toh paraya dhan hoti hain. Jab tak ho yahan theek hai, fer toh apne ghar jana hai.) I cannot believe parents still say this to their daughters. Why? It’s like adopting a child and then reminding that child every single day that they are adopted; where they are right now. I envy the girls who did not have to hear this thrown at them in their childhood. Even in jest, this is a statement that cuts to the bones of daughters. If you are a woman, reading this here, imagine for a second how it makes you feel. Does it remind you how much it hurt to hear your own parents say this to you when you were young? Why would any parent allow their own children to suffer from the same fate? Daughters are not things to be owned or possessed; they are individuals, human beings in their own right. Please stop. Never let children feel that they do not belong at their home, with their parents. Their REAL homes are wherever they choose to call their homes. Learn to cook. How will you feed your husband? Learn to cook. How will you feed your husband? In-laws will say your mother has not taught you anything. We are bearing all your tantrums, your in-laws will not suffer them. (Khana banana seekh lo. Pati ko kya khilaoge? Sasuraal wale kahenge maa ne kuch sikhaya nahi. Hum jhel rahe hain tumhare nakhre, sasural me koi nahi jhelega.) Learning to cook for oneself is a skill that everyone must acquire. Women are not born with the guidebook to be a MasterChefs. Having the capability to cook and feed oneself is not a gender specific trait, it is survival. Husbands do not need to be fed by their wives; nor do the in-laws. Threatening your daughters with the supposed repercussions they will face at the hands of their in-laws, is a poor way to handle their tantrums; it is just a way to delegate responsibility for your children to someone else. This not only sows the seed of doubt and fear in the hearts of young girls, regarding the whole institution of marriage, but also paints a poor picture of what they should be expecting from their future relatives. A peace based on fear, is no peace. Cooking and cleaning are not the only maternal legacies that matter. There are a horde of more significant traits that mothers can pass on to their daughters, like courage, determination, self-love and empathy. If you cannot cook and clean for yourself, you need some basic survival skills training asap; not a wife or daughter-in-law. Education is important, irrespective of gender and house-work is important, irrespective of gender.

Don’t wear such clothes. Good girls don’t talk to boys or stay out at night. Don’t wear such clothes. You look like a slut, a prostitute. Why are you wearing make-up? For whom? Good girls don’t talk to boys or stay out at night. They come home early. (Kaise kapde pehne hain? Vaishya lag rahi ho. Kiske liye kar rahe ho ye makeup? Achi ladkiyan ladkon se baatein nahi karti, raat ko bahar nahi ghumti. Jaldi ghar wapis aati hain.) 

Although I admit that this is one of the many ways in which Indian parents warn their daughters of the atrocious crimes being committed against women, and I admit that it is extremely important to prepare our daughters to face a world where the dangers of assault are extremely real; I do not agree that this is how this subject should be approached. Believe it or not, daughters are going to come across pop culture sometime or other. They are going to be exposed to what is cool and what is not, they are going to be influenced by the generalised beauty standards of the world. There is nothing parents can do to stop that. What can be done, is to never aggressively deny or demean their choices of attire or make up. Let daughters wear whatever they want to, let them experiment with make-up however they want to. Remember that words have the power to wound, irreparably. What parents say matters. Never compare or judge daughters as ‘sluts’ or ‘prostitutes’; remember that children invariably end up doing exactly what is forbidden. It is always better to convey positive criticism and use words like – this dress does not suit you, or it does not flatter you like this other one – Be very careful of the words used, when speaking to your children. Parents must be open to uncomfortable conversations; no subject should be off-the-table. If children have questions, answer them in the best way possible; if you do not know, tell them that you do not know and attempt to find the best approach together. There is a veritable goldmine of information out there, FIGURE IT OUT. Because, children will find out about these things, one way or another, in today’s world of information overload, it is impossible to protect children from the ‘bad stuff’. The best way to prepare them for the world is to stay one step ahead of other sources; be approachable, discuss, educate. Create awareness of the potential dangers, so daughters can be willing partners in taking measures to protect themselves. Why this is important? Even in today’s so called progressive society, there is an inordinate amount of pressure being exerted on girls for marriage. We are raising daughters (girls in general) to aspire for marriage, and at the same time, we are not raising our sons to aspire for it. The value that women derive from the institution of marriage is far more than that of their male counterparts. This is the reason why there is a far greater number of women who choose to compromise and stay in abusive and toxic marriages, as compared to men. There is a vast difference in the values which we are instilling in our daughters and in our sons. The weight of expectation that we put on our daughters and women is blatantly unrealistic and unfair; and will eventually break them. We have to bring in change, and we have to bring it now. We need to know that if we want to raise strong, independent, self-respecting women, we must treat them as such; and at the same time, raise our sons to be strong, independent, self-respecting men. We must be willing to put in the effort and we must be wary of the words we use. The fate of the world lies in the hands of our children; and our children are our responsibilities.

LMAO, TU HAI KAUN AISI GUARANTEE DENE KO??????? ANIKA GAADI HAI KYA AUR TU USKA DEALER? 

yup, he was gonna say “main shaadi ALREADY kar chuka hoon” but caught himself in time in order to not complicate matters for her wrt marrying nikhil. 

BUT ARE NIKHIL AND HIS MOTHER BLIND? CAN’T THEY SEE SHE’S WEARING SINDOOR???????? SHE’S OBVIOUSLY MARRIED TO SOMEONE. you gotta be reaaaalllll dumb to not figure this shit out, you two. 

lmfao ok i think i might be a fan of nikhil’s mummy for that parting shot of doosron ko gyaan dena bada asaan hai. 

ohhhhhhhh man. these three are gonna be hellllllllla mad when they find out. 

“kya kaha tuney???” 

anika ke maan-sammaan-khushiyon ka rakshak is onnnnn the case! 

pfffffffffffft. iski shakl se hi pata nahi chalta ki kya kiya isne? 

you three were dumbasses to think that. they need SUPERVISED MEDIATION. aise akele chodoge toh aisa hi hoga. 

UGH SHIVAAY YOU ARE LITERALLY THE WORST. HAR SHAADI TUM KO ZABARDASTI HI KARWAANI HAI, MAJAAAAAL HAI JO TUM DULHAN SE POOCHO KI USSE KYA CHAHIYE. 

srsly, i am nikhil’s mom, who’s like why the fuckkkkk are you so involved in anika and nikhil’s shaadi. tu apna dekh na. 

great, he’s ready to fund it also. ek kaam kar, anika ka kanyaadaan bhi tu hi kar. itnaaaaaaa shauk jo chadha hai. 

yeah i have had it up to here with stupid singh oberoi. ugh. 

^^^^^ that’s the point i stopped watching at on the 16th. i literally rolled my eyes so damn hard that i decided it was better for my health if i gave up. 

okay! let’s try again! 

this nikhil ki ma is such a meesni. die bitch. 

ohhohohoho, anika is MOST definitely going to find about this eventually aur tab beta, tumhari khair nahi. i hope OU anika ki atma gets into her and she fucken beats you to death with her broken chameli. 

is anika ko job milkar kya faida? iske personal life ke chonchlon se isko time hi kahaan milta hai job par jaane ke liye? 

ugh why are you even picking up this idiot’s call??? you’re 0.0% interested in him. 

lmao gauri’s face. 

and gauri’s expression being paralleled here on shivaay’s face. 

DAMN GIRL THE EXCITEMENT. WHO IN THIS DAY AND AGE IS EVER THIS EXCITED TO GET AN ACTUAL PHONE CALL? 

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo oh man nikhil, samajh jao apni aukaat aur haisiyat. 

... what’s with the weird split-screening? that too, not perfectly in the middle and gauri’s awkwardly to the side and half cut off? matlab...??????? 

adorable munchkin. too cute, too pure. 

lol that "whooooooo boy” expression shivaay gave after nikhil left. 

holllllllly shit what’s with the hella bad green screen behind him???? that’s soooooooooo not the view outside anika’s house??? 

anika honestly girl, calm the fuck down. 

or don’t and tell him the truth; that you’re majorly into him.

 OH SHIT. OH NO SHE’S GONNA THINK HE MEANS HIS AND HER SHAADI WHILE THIS FUCKING IDIOT MAN IS TALKING ABOUT NIKHIL OH GOD AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN’T WATCH THIS I CAN’TTTTTTTTTT

JFC FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOU SHIVAAAY THIS IS FUCKING ENTRAPMENT. HONESTLY FUCK YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL MAN. IDGAF ABOUT YOUR GOOD INTENTIONS. THIS IS BULLSHIT.

oh noooooooooo my poor girl she’s so happy oh god nooooooooooo.

JFC SHIVAAY YOU FUCKING IDIOT ARE YOU SO CLUELESS THAT YOU DON’T REALISE THAT THIS WOMAN IS HUGGING YOU IN AN ENTIRELY NON “DOST“ WAY RN????????????????///

oh suddenly he realises that perhaps he shouldn’t be hugging another man’s woman in this way.

notice neither of them are moving to untangle themselves though. still remaining all pressed up against each other. and you dumb fucks still say you don’t know “kya hai humaare beech”. 

sure. extreeeeeemely appropriate behaviour and manner of looking at a woman whose wedding you’re organizing to another man. A+. keep it up. 

all i can do at this point is hope gauri’s secretly taking pics and will make a presentation of her own at the next wedding attempt to nikhil. 

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand he ruined it. 

sidenote: this is a nakuul smile, not a shivaay smile. 

cute smile aside, i really wanna slapppppp shivaay for how giddily happy he’s being at his own stupidity. matlab self-awareness naam ki cheez is bande ke aas-paas bhi nahi bhatki hai. 

anika, now would be a good time to take off your chameli. and channel all that khidkitodness you claim to possess. 

we already knew nikhil and his whole fam were shadyass fuckers. ainvayi ka dramatic reveal they’re showing, as if any of this is a completeeeee surprise to any of us. 

ANIKA WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YEH TOH CHUTIYA HAI HI, WHY CAN’T YOU JUST STRAIGHT UP TELL HIM THAT YOU DON’T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT NIKHIL?????? YOU DIDN’T EVEN THE FIRST TIME AROUND, LET ALONE NOW. 

... after happily leaping into his arms thinking he was proposing marriage, she’s saying “mujhe nahi pata meri khushi kis mein hai”??????????? godddddddddd she’s an even bigger fucking idiot than he is. 

OMFG IS MANDHBUDDHI KI BAKCHODI KHATAM NAHI HUI HE’S NOW GETTING DOWN ON HIS KNEES TO PROPOSE.... FOR NIKHIL. 

“mujhse shaadi karogi, anika?” 

aaaaaahaaa. freudian slip.

lmaoooooooo “bohut khush rakhunga main... nikhil... NIKHIL!” sure boo. ek baar hua, woh galti thi. baar baar jo hota hai... chalo chodo. tumse bolke bhi kya faayda. 

TFW you really can’t tell who the bigger idiot is in your relationship. 

... great. just great. yeh log bhi aa gaye. AUR CHACHI BHI. UGH. 

yup. i am that literal full body shudder that anika does every single time nikhil touches her. ICK. GET YO GRUBBY HANDS OFF MY GIRL. 

caaaaaaaasual smiley threat from shivaay about how he’ll literally destroy nikhil if he fucks up. best. 

they are me and i am them. not amused by any of this garbage. 

has this chachi really sudharofied? dare i hope? in any case, her toning down her overall personality is very much welcome. 

SHIVAAY I... YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU DID WHAT YOU HAVE TO, NOW PLEASE, JUST LITERALLY GTFO HERE. UGH. 

jali. billu ki jali. itni der tak idk where his fucking brain was, but it’s finally hit him. 

haan jaa beta, maarofy your hasty exit. go rub your literally aching chest somewhere else.

god you poor dumbass. i don’t even... ugh shivaaaaaaay, what are we even going to do with youuuuuu?????????? 

also sorry for untimely tharak but this blue suit is realllllllllllly working on him. especially in this lighting. brings out his eyes nicely.

also, somehow the makeup or whatever is better in this scene? his eyebags aren’t so prominent.

oh boy. khuddar waali anika jaag gayi hai. she’s come to question. 

“kyunki sab kuch aap decide karte hain na? na aapne mujhe tab poocha tha jab aapne mujhse zabardasti shaadi ki, na tab poocha jab aapne shaadi ko maanne se inkaar kiya, na aapne mujhse tab poocha jab divorce papers thamaa diye, na ab jab aapne nikhil aur uske maa se meri shaadi ki baat ki.” 

YAS CALL HIM THE FUCK OUT. 

“kyunki tum meri.... DOST ho.���

LMAO. APPROPRIATE RESPONSE. 

“meri shaadi ko dus din nahi hue... aur mera DOST meri doosri shaadi karwaana chahta hai. aapko lagta hai yeh sahi hai??”

GIRL YES FUCKING MURDER HIM. 

ah fuck. he’s losing it and almost in tears. fuck i’m kinda melting. he’s trying so hard. he’s objectively wrong, but he’s TRYING SO HARD. 

NO. DO NOT LEAVE IT ON FUCKING KISMAT, USE YOUR FUCKING BIG GIRL WORDS AND TELL HIM YOU DON’T WANNA MARRY FUCKING NIKHIL. JFC ANIKA. 

ugh you two idiotssssssssssssss.

I saw your reply to the anon abt Anika being despo. I think the purpose of this track is to show how much Anika trusts Shivaay, and how she will always be there for him. It might eventually lead to Shivaay accepting Anika as his wife officially. Like last season Anika stood by Shivaay wrt to Tia's pregnancy, when everyone else including Shivaay, were unsure about who was the father of the child.

… I know. 🤨🤨🤨

I hated this turn Anika’s character took then (because not only was it ill-timed af, but also illogical), and I fucking hate it now too. At least in the OU she was a little more subtle and toned down in her support of him. Their relationship status (and even their feelings for each other) was a buncha question marks in the air, and she was happy to support him just in that nameless space, because that’s what he needed at the time. In this universe, Anika has all the subtlety of a fucking sledgehammer to the face. AAP DUNIYA KE BEST PATI HAI, BEST!!!!!!!!!!! #1!!!!!!!!!!! UNESCO DECLARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE NEVER EVER FELT SAFER IN THE WORLD THAN I DO WITH YOU!!!!!!!! AAP KABHI KUCH GALAT KARRRRRRRRR HI NAHI SAKTE!!!!!!!!! Like behen, chill. Ek toh woh apne aap ko tera pati maanta bhi nahi. Maybe relax for a sec pls.

What’s most annoying here is that ever since the forced marriage, Anika’s WHOLE character has been boiled down to WIFE, and absolutely nothing else. Her whole emotional turmoil in this relationship is that he’s not allowing her to play her Biwi #1 part the way SHE envisions being a wife. WHY does she like him so much? WHY does she trust him so much? WHY is she fighting so hard to be with him? Considering 1. everything that he did to her, and 2. she’s known him like… a month. (every day in this universe on an average lasts about 5 episodes, so 3 months since redux started = ~12 weeks in real time = definitely not more than a month or so in canon.) No reason other than “aap mere pati hain.”

The truth is, Anika in this universe doesn’t really care about Shivaay the person. She only cares about “husband”, to whom she can play her lifelong dream role of “wife”. (Up till the murder) She’s not mindful to what he needs from her as a person who is entangled in a personal equation with her, because if she was, she would understand his emotional issues and respect his boundaries. Yes, subconsciously he is invested in the relationship and is fulfilling parts of being a husband, but he’s clearly got a ton of issues to work through and needs the space and time to do that before he can commit wholeheartedly; which she is not allowing him. She just wants to fast forward to having the patni waala tag, by whatever means possible.

I get that this track is building towards Shivaay’s love growing for her/accepting her as wife because of how supportive Anika is going to be during this time, and I hate it. In the OU, he falls in love with her not ONLY because she’s supportive in trying times, but because she’s his foil in every manner; she makes him see life and all the principles he’s held differently. She not only changed his life, but changed HIM fundamentally as a person, and made him better. It makes a good romance to watch. Here, all we’re primed to be getting from this trackis a ghatiya Rescue Romance, a gender-reversed rehash of those dumbass age-old bolly movies where the heroine falls in love with the hero purely for saving her life. He’s falling in love with her only because… she’s there. She’s there, and she’s doing all this emotional labour anyway…. Toh why not? Baaki ka emotional/personal evolution gaya chulhe mein.

I hope to be proven wrong and that they’ll be delving into Shivaay’s emotional state and slowly breaking those complexes of his down, but I’ve rarely ever been afforded that privilege with this show.

*shivaay voice* SHER NAHI HAI, IT’S A TIGER!!!! 🙈🙈🙈

omkara’s frustration at rudra is my favourite thing in life. ever. 🙃🙃🙃

 the sheer amount shivaay forgives and coddles rudra is only apparent when you see omkara’s treatment of rudra. omkara truly gives no shits and is forever ready to kick his ass, while shivaay treats him like a delicate, tender little baaaaaby. aur yeh nikkamma hai ki bhaiyya ka jeena mushkil kar rakha hai. 

oh god anika and her DVD. 🙄🙄🙄

chanda’s arranged marriage seems to be going well, if she’s giving anika tips on how to ignite her sex life. good for chanda. she deserves happiness (and orgasms.)

i can’t stop cackling at him seductively eating the cake AT her. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

also, i could not catch that poem he said. at all. despite repeated listenings. so much mumblingggg. 😕😕😕

boooti juice toh pee liya, but does the cake have weed in it too???? i’m like 86% sure there’s something shaaaaady af about the cake. 

“SUROOOOOOOOR” lmaooooooooo 😂😂😂😂

shivaay’s in favour of the bhajans playing, coz he could use all the divine intervention he can get rn.
