Jhumkas...

We're all aware of Desi Academia's obsession with Jhumkas, but let's take a look at some other types of earrings from the subcontinent that deserve the same amount of love and appreciation.

Note: Some people might use the term Jhumka to refer to any and all styles of earrings, but in actuality, only the bell-shaped earrings are qualified to be called Jhumkas!

Bali

Balis or hoop earrings come in a wide variety of sizes and embellishments which can be appropriate for anything from daily wear to festive wear.

Punjabi Peepal Patti Balis

Chandbali

Chandbalis are the jeweled interpretation of the crescent moon. Worn by Mughal and Rajput women in the medieval period.

Pearl-embellished enamel Chandbalis

Dhungri

Traditional Nepalese earrings worn in the centre of the ear, usually circle or square-shaped. A rare kind of Dhungri is the Kan ("ear") Dhungri, which replicates the shape of the ear.

Bugadi

Earrings worn on the upper rim of the ear by people along the Western coast of India, specifically Maharashtra and Karnataka.

Imitation gold Bugadi with peacock motif

Passa

Passa (or Jhumar) is a head ornament that has its origin in the Mughal period and is pinned to one side of the head. The Passa-style earring is basically the same, but in earring form.

Thuriya

Thuriya is a form of Assamese jewellery worn by aged women. The design symbolises a lotus with a heavy stem adorned with gemstones and exquisite meenakari.

Bonus: Sahara Chain

Sahara ("support") chain or ear chain is a type of ornament which is worn by attaching it to an earring on one end, and to the hair of the wearer on the other. It provides support to the earring, thereby lifting some of the weight off the ears.

South Indian movies have the perfect balance of romance and action .

What's the point in wearing school uniform if it doesn't fit the dark academic aesthetic? That's the bare minimum can my school step the fuck up??????

soo since its teacher's day i decided to text my fav teacher. she used to be my french teacher before she moved to Quebec.(i swear she is literally a ray of sunshine, she changed my life, she is my keating) so i was telling her about how things are dreadful here in Dhaka and that im fliping out over my igcse exams. then she said that she knows whatever the situation is i can handle it and she just instantly lifted my mood. like yes, now im energized. im always in awe of how easily she always makes me feel better. im just so grateful to her. wish there were more teachers who really make a difference.
