Yeah I've Attended A Few Weddings In The Last Few Years After Covid On Both Sides Of My Parents. Although

Yeah I've attended a few weddings in the last few years after Covid on both sides of my parents. Although the colours of the clothes have remained the same, it still feels dull. Why?

Because the biyaah geets — baraat geet, duar puja geet, gaari geet —have lately been replaced by DJ/songs being played on speakers instead of the womenfolk singing those songs in Awadhi.

Does anybody else also think that our weddings are also getting white washed? Like it used to be all bold and colourful with the bride and groom being in mostly red. Now you see it started with a lil toning down to pinks and dull pastels and now some are almost white. It’s almost like a western wedding just instead of a white gown there’s a white lehnga and sherwani. I’m not exactly saying that there’s anything wrong with it but doesn’t it feel like weddings are losing their authenticity?

Just an opinion, don’t go on attacking me.

Pakistan is the one attacking Indian cities and civilians.

And what do we do if you hide your terrorists in your homes and religious places. What do we do if you turn your schools and hospitals in terror base camps. How are we to be blamed if you use innocent children and women as shields to save your terrorist men.

It is like saying "please don't attack our homes" all while you're keeping terrorists as guests in your homes. Ofcourse you'd feel bad if someone comes and attacks your guests. But that doesn't make them saints. Neither does it make us villains.

What you sound like is nothing less than a manipulator.

me: cities in pakistan are under attack

some idiot in my notes, inevitably: OH SO YOU FEEL BAD FOR TERRORISTS? YOU SUPPORT TERRORISTS? YOU THINK INDIA SHOULD NOT BOMB TERRORISTS? YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO NOTHING?

do you really not have any fucking self-awareness when you're equating cities and the people living in them with being terrorists by default just because they're pakistani. imagine being so blinded by hatred you start sounding like a zionist. then again calling a hindutvadi a zionist is probably aspirational to them.

It just did. Pakistan did violate the ceasefire. I heard from a friend from Jammu.

New development.

It is highly likely that Pakistan agreed to de-escalation and ceasefire due to pressure by China and USA. India taking down multiple F-16 among others may have put USA in China in a very awkward position

This was an overall win for India as India took down their air bases and bunch of terrorists. it is likely that Pakistan may break the ceasefire again or try to commit another terror attack in Indian territory. India has already announced that any further terror attacks in Indian territory will be considered an act of war.

Wait wasn't Kuber ji a stepbrother of Ravan?

Also who handled the treasury before him?

Lord Shiva blessing Kuber

This story narrates the origin of Kubera. One of the stories in Shivpurana which emphasizes the importance in worship of Lord Shiva. It also says even the unwitting worship of Lord Shiva can bless you.

Lord Shiva Blessing Kuber

A pious and faithful Brahmin called Yajnadutta lived in Kampilya, a long time ago. That Brahmin was blessed with a promising son whom the happy father had named Gunanidhi, literally meaning ‘repository of fine attributes’. After the boy’s sacred thread ceremony (Upanayana) he was sent to a guru to learn letters and gain wisdom. The boy progressed into youth but unfortunately fell in a bad company and picked up all bad and vice habits. Yajnadutta had been too busy to notice the degeneration of his son. The mother was blind in affection for her son to see anything going wrong.

Spoil rotten, Gunanidhi took gambling and womanising. All the money he laid his hands on went into those vices. Then, needing more money he began to thieve and sell the stolen goods. Once he gambled away all he had made. Meanwhile, his father, while going to river to take his bath entrusted his precious gold ring to his wife. The wife placed it in a niche of a wall. The son, Gunanidhi saw her doing that and stole the ring. He sold it to a man and gambled away the proceeds. Incidentally, Yajnadutta ran into the person who was wearing the ring his wife had lost. Upon enquiry the man revealed that he had bought the ring from a young man named Gunanidhi.

Yajnadutta now realised that what lately he had been hearing bad things about his son were true. The son learnt that his father had come to know of his misdeeds. Gunanidhi fled to avoid being confronted by his anguished father.

Gunanidhi went hungry for a couple of days. He flopped under a tree famished and exhausted. Suddenly flavours of richly cooked food wafted into his nostrils. A faithful was carrying some food offering to the nearby Lord Shiva temple. He waited at some distance for an opportunity to steal the offering. He saw the worship and prayers being sung. When the devotees fell asleep he sneaked into the sanctum where in front of Lord Shiva idol offerings were placed. The wick of the lamp had slipped into the oil and flame was about to flicker off. Gunanidhi quickly tore a strip off his kurta, dipped in oil, lit it and put it into the lamp to serve as substitute wick. Then he tried to hurry out with the bundle of stolen food offering. But he happened to stumble against a sleeping devotee who screamed in fright. The devotees woke up and grabbed the thief. Gunanidhi got beaten up and a blow of a thick stick smashed his skull. He died instantly.

The agents (dootas) of death arrived to despatch the sinful soul of Gunanidhi to burning hell. But ganas (elite guards of Lord Shiva) intervened saying that Gunanidhi had earned a place in the divine domain of Lord Shiva by participating in Lord Shiva worship, lighting the lamp after fasting for two days before his death, although done unwittingly yet the reward stood granted by the grace of lord. He had been salvaged.

Rebirth of Gunanidhi as Kubera:

As the son of the king of Utakala, Gunanidhi took rebirth by a new name Damana. Damana lived a life of piety, devotion and nobility. In his next birth he was born as the son of the grandson of Brahma. He had brought forward goodness of his previous life and by the grace of Lord Shiva, remembered all about his past lives.

He remained all his life as an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva. On the bank of Ganga he planted a holy lingam and penance on empty stomach. His shrivelled skin draped his skeletal emaciated body. Propitiated with his intense devotion Lord Shiva appeared to him along with his divine consort. They blessed their faithful with the boon of a divine body and renamed him ’ Kubera’. By the grace of divine couple, Kubera later gained the rule of Alkapuri. Lord Shiva went to live near Alkapuri when Kubera wished for his proximity on a boon.

In his new domain Lord Shiva rattled his ’ hand tambour’ (Dumroo). It’s fierce beat echoed through the cosmos. All celestial beings rushed to Lord Shiva to have his darshan. So did sages, holy men, faithful’s and hosts of his own ganas led by their chiefs with folded hands praying and making their obeisance. The celestial builder instantly created palaces to host them all. Lord Shiva duly settled in his adobe. Later, all the guests returned to their own adobes. Thus, Lord Shiva granted his proximity to his favoured faithful Kubera who became the lord of the divine treasury.

This sounds like "I'm friends with black people, so I can't be a racist".

Also, he might have actually fooled her into being with him, and since he said "my girl was", I'm going to assume she left him after seeing his real face. And the whole "relationship" must have lasted just a day. And who knows he might have intentionally sought her out to claim that "oh I dated a kashmiri pandit once" and then spew his own views and opinions.

????

????

Does this person has any thinking skills at all?

Oh I once had a romantic relationship with kashmiri pandit girl so it means i can't be hinduphobic!!!

......

Idk if he is trying to be dumb because his interactions with my friend Rhysaka proves he probably doesn't have any reading comprehension whatsoever. Here, he proves it yet again, for anyone that's curious, this is the post that he is referencing.

????

HE THINKS HES SMART CUZ HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER LOK THAN MRITYU LOK OMGGGGGGGGG...

I'm genuinely laughing so hard 😆🤣🤣😭🤣🤣😭🤣

Every post of his is one embarassment after another! each sentence of this grown man is so damn ignorant, that his entire point becomes laughable. Sorry, I just can't take him seriously and would advise everyone else to do the same. He isn't worth engaging with.

Recent terrorist attack on Hindu Tourist (after confirming they're Hindus) should really tip you off, right? Or are you gonna find another way to blame attacks on hindu on Hindus yet again? But because you used to have a Kashmiri Girlfriend it exempts you from being a hinduphobe.

The amount of मटका-s and सुराही-s I've broken as a kid and as a teen in summers is insane. I don't know how my parents found the courage to forgive me each time. We used to buy it in UP during summer vacation but never were able to carry it to Mumbai. All thanks to me.

The Amount Of मटका-s And सुराही-s I've Broken As A Kid And As A Teen In Summers Is

सुराही-s have those intricate details and my mother is fond of such pottery. And I've broken multiple. It's the American equivalent of breaking your mother's favourite vase or favourite china dish

matke ka paani has no right to be so goddamn delicious!

I have been a little overwhelmed from writing and reading so much about the attacks. I had just started to catch up with what was happening in Bengal and this happened. And I had to let it out. Had to speak up. Had to educate myself on what happened.

But today I took a break

Like I Said They'd Use "misinformation Manufactured Narratives And Manipulation". And Just Look At How

Like I said they'd use "misinformation manufactured narratives and manipulation". And just look at how dedicated they are to this.

I'm glad some of us are doing the right thing by fighting this with truth. Because in the end truth triumphs.

Dude maybe stop projecting

this hinduphobia gang is so stupid its unreal because what the actual fuck do you mean that 'caste violence is an accepted fact' WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU ACCEPT SOMETHING SO INHUMAN.

atrocities are happening in YOUR NAME. people of your religion are commintting it, and you think its enough for you to just accept it?

this is fucking privilege. you think you get to stay passive while people are killed, raped, displaced, and tortured because of a centuries-old system that was designed to maintain your comfort and power?

if you really cared about people slandering your religion, maybe start with the people within it who are using it as a tool to dehumanise. maybe fix that first. maybe stop crying “hinduphobia” every time someone points out the rot.
