2022 TBR 🧿 (continuing In 2023)

The way i can dance both classical and hip hop with lyrical is insane

Born to say i will always be with you forced to say jab tak mein hoon tere pass

Little things that give me butterflies in my stomach

That thing where his breath is shaking and his hands are fumbling while he kisses you

"Shh, I'm here"

When you can hear the clinking of his belt from the other side of the door as he gets undressed

When he touches you with the back of his hand

When he moves you by your waist UGH

hating on dog parents that don’t let me meet them cuties

my toxic trait is thinking I can do THIS without fail 🤣

Air india is a low cost airlines beacuse of the low cost they put on people lives

Jo baatein pee gya tha mai

Wo baatein kha gyin mujhko

In other words:

The things you hide in your heart, eats you alive.

Jamal Ehsani had written in his book's book that

" کہ میں نے اپنے ماں باپ کو ایک سکھ جو دیا وہ یہ ہے کہ میں انکی زندگی میں فوت نہیں ہوا"

my thoughts on the romantics

WOWOWOOWOWOWOWW

when i first saw the trailer for it i was so excited. this def lived up to my expectations.

i learned that i really dont know anything about desi cinema (lol) and i have alot of catching up to do on the old classics which i till now classified as outdated and stuffy and patriarchal. but seeing the artistry in the clips made me really want to go back and watch everything.

i also learned alot about the sociopolitical and economic context to alot of the movies and how it played into their success or lack thereof, which was really fascinating.

i do wish they delved more into how alot of people seem to agree that the industry has fallen off a little bit? i really cant explain it.. maybe im overly biased to the 2000s because those are primarily the movies i watched growing up. but still. i just feel it in my bones sometimes when i watch a good number of desi movies post-2010.

seeing rishi kapoor in the interviews :,) sad (also i wish they couldve gotten preity zinta and aishwariya to do interviews but oh well. i also wonder what sridevi wouldve said in her interview if she still was alive since they were mentioning her alot)

all in all, 100/10, i without a doubt will be rewatching just as much as i rewatch my favorite video essays on yt, if not more often. just amazing.
