Petition to have Balls again because I really want to dress up in a large pretty gown and socially partner dance. Like why did they stop being a thing?! Clubs are cool but have they nothing on a Ball.

South asian Dark Academia

• Reading poems and stories of Rumi, Hafez, Iqbal, Ghani khan and Manto.

• Wanting to learn how to speak Arabic, Persian, Hindi, and Urdu.

• Being bilingual or multilingual by birth.

• STEM students with an interest in Art and rich knowledge in History.

• You know exactly what to do with 6 yards of fabric; look fabulous in a Saree.

• Wearing your hair in braids to keep it out of your face.

• Always looking forward to eating your mother's homemade Biryani. Nothing tastes spicy enough.

• The shelves of your kitchen are filled with colourfull jars of Masalas (spices).

• Haldi is literaly the cure for everything.

• Chai is your addiction. It calms you down and you get a headache when you miss your daily dose of chai.

• The smell of Mehendi / Henna when women are applying it in ardous designs on their hands and feet at weddings and festivals.

i can’t believe there are people who live in such historically rich places like italy or scotland or greece or paris with old architecture and ruins and museums… the audacity.
