Me At Random Occasions Throughout The Day.

suni nahi zamaane ne teri meri kahaaniyaan, karde koyi nawaazishen karam mehrbaaniyaan ✨

Chand sharmayega yun na chandni raat mein zulfein savaara kijiye

The moon will blush looking at you, don't play with your hair in this moonlit night.

mere chand ko dekhkar chand bhi sharma gaya

even the moon got shy after looking at my moon

chand mera dil chandni ho tum

moon is my heart and you are it's moonlight

chand se parda kijiye kahin chura na le chehre ka noor

veil from the moon what if it steals the glow of your face

chand si mehbooba ho meri kab aisa maine socha tha

when did i ever thought that my beloved will be like the moon

chanda bhi deewana hai tera

even the moon is crazy about you

This is amazing.

As Requested: The Legend of Kalidasa (some of you know this but wait till the end)

Here's a story my father(who's also my sanskrit teacher) told me.

Long ago, in a Kingdom near Ujjain in India, a king had a beautiful princess- her name was Vidyottama. From a young age she displayed extraordinary talent and intelligence.

When she came of age, she made a demand that she would only marry a man who could out do her in vedic knowledge.

So the princes came and she set them impossible questions, and the rejected princes decided to trick her into marrying someone stupid.

So they came across an illiterate goatherd who was cutting the branch he was sitting on. They took him to the palace dressed as a prince.

When the princess started the debate, they defended him saying he was taking a vow of silence, and misinterpreted all his confused gestures to his benefit.

Vidyottama fell for it, and married him.

At night, he climbed off the bed and slept on the floor as he wasn't used to the bed. He started making his goat-calls to calm himself down. At this point Vidyottama realized who he was. She was mortified, but she thought, 'he is my wedded lord. I must help him'.

And she advised to to go to the temple of the goddess Kali and beg her for knowledge.

He went at midnight and sat inside the temple and closed the door. When the goddess returned at dawn, she asked, 'who's inside?' And he said, 'who's outside?' She told him that she was the goddess, and repeated her question. He told her, 'I am Dasa (servant), and I want knowledge' so she told him to thrust his tongue through the keyhole and drew a line on it, thus giving him knowledge.

From then on he was known as Kalidasa. He went back to Vidyottama and hailed her. She said to him, 'Asti kaschit vagvilasa?' Which is Sanskrit for 'It seems you've gotten literacy?' And he thanked her and walked east and started writing great epics, like the Abijnana Shakuntalam and Meghadootam and such.

HERE'S THE THING:

HE USED HER WORDS TO START OFF HIS EPICS.

In kumarasambhavam- ASTI uttarasyam disi devatatma..

In Meghadootam- KASCHIT yaksho..

Raghuvamsam- VAGARTHA eva samprukthau...

From Vidyottama's words 'Asti Kaschit Vagvilasa?'

I found this awesome.

Aaj Saqi Sharaab Rehnay Do

Tishnagi Ke Azaab Rehnay do

Ponch Dalo Na Aankh Se Kaajal

Kuch Tou Khanjar Pe Aab Rehnay Do

Tum Sanwaro Apni In Zulfon Ko

Meri Halat Kharab Rehnay Do

Chaand Badal Main Acha Lagta Hai

Adhay Rukh Pe Naqab Rehnay Do

Un K Chehry Ki Baat Ho Jaye

Aaj Zikr-e-Gulab Rehnay Do

Un Ki Chokhat Ko Choom Lo Mohsin

Baki Saray Sawaab Rehnay Do

Going From

Kabhi yun bhi toh ho

Dariya ka Sahil ho

Poore Chand ki Raat ho

Aur tum Aao

kaun aaega yahan koi na aaya hoga

We all found an aching solace in letting go.

My friend: [recommends me a show]

Me: [watches the show and gets my heart broken]

Me: Why WOULD YOU MAKE ME WATCH IT? YOU KNOW IT WOULD BREAK MY HEART!

My friend: Because I know you're the kind of person who likes to get his heart broken.

Me:

We don't want to be loved. That's a huge misconception. We want to love. All of us would rather pick a person that we love, than a person that loves us with all their heart. We don't want to be worshipped. We want to worship. We'd all rather be murdered at the shrine of a person we love dearly, than be prayed for.

Maybe it's because we think little of ourselves, maybe it's because we think we don't deserve to be loved, maybe we think loving others gives us some form of atonement for our sins, who knows?

But the point is, when you say you want love in your life, don't lie and say that you wish someone would love you.

G-guys, I know this is a terrible sketch, but update:

That's exactly what happened. The worst fears were realised.

...cheers.
