 ✨ first, a disclaimer! this is a list of things which i have found to subjectively improve my own appearance. i’m sure there’s many more treatments i’ve missed, and you may also feel that some of these treatments aren’t for you- i’ve just included everything which i have enjoyed personally in order to inform you of your options, from which you can make your own decisions on which to take part in. also, little blurb; what society or others think of you doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things and it is not my goal to promote being concerned with these things here. these are meant to help you be more excited about your own appearance every morning when you wake up, and take more time and care for yourself. partaking in these activities should add to your life, not subtract. ur all cute and valuable already ✨

Madhubani Art (or Mithila painting) is a folk art form originating in the Mithila region of India and Nepal. It was named after Madhubani District of Bihar, India which is where it is originated. It is characterised by its eye-catching geometrical patterns. Madhubani painting was created by the women of various communities in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. The paintings were traditionally done on freshly plastered mud walls and floors of huts, but now they are also done on cloth, handmade paper and canvas. Madhubani paints are made from the paste of powdered rice and applied with with various tools, such as fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks. The paintings mostly depict people and their association with nature and scenes and deities from the ancient epics. Natural objects like the sun, the moon, and religious plants like tulsi are also widely painted, along with scenes from the royal court and social events like weddings. In this paintings generally, no space is left empty; the gaps are filled by paintings of flowers, animals, birds, and geometric designs. It is still practiced and kept alive in institutions spread across the Mithila region.

It seems like a lot of non Indians are unaware of this but hey INDIA DOES NOT HAVE A NATIONAL LANGUAGE, We have 22 OFFICIAL LANGUAGES and 40 other yet to be recognized regional languages.

Next time dont ask an Indian if they can speak something in Indian language because sweety we have 22, and most of us can speak like 5 of them (I can and that is excluding English, because I grew up around people from multiple states, yes I'm flexing)

You don't have to know names of all of those languages (because that is a ridiculous expectation to have) but here are a few tips:

1) Hindi is not our national language

2) Each language is distinct and doesn't overlap the other apart from two or three words in some languages

3) Languages differ statewise, so maybe ask them which state they belong to and then what language they speak.

Also we have overlapping languages with our neighbors

Punjabi/Sindhi/Urdu - Pakistan (Urdu and Hindi is understood by people of both nations)

Tamil - Sri Lanka

Bengali - Bangladesh

Devanagri script is used by Nepal and India and hence people of Nepal are able to read and somewhat understand Hindi as well over and above their own language.

You travel from North to South in India and the people may not understand each other just one state apart or there are linguistic barriers between neighboring states, and we have acknowledged that difference and frankly I see it at as a strength.

You can make fun of our accent all you want but know this, we speak one language more than you by the time we are 5 and can win against you in a debate in four languages including yours by the time we are 7.

I'm tired of the ignorance, like I said you don't need to know the names of all languages but please know that not every Indian can speak the language that you may have found to be Indian (which is mostly Hindi).

Ask us and we will happily tell you just because you showed us that courtesy.

P. S. I know there are like 1600 languages and dialects in India but I used the constitution for reference.
