Still from the 2009 Bollywood film “Billu” starring Lara Dutta and Irrfan Khan. The song Khudaya Khair from this film has a line that goes “Woh jab nakhun kutarti hai toh chanda ghatne lagta hai” which translates to “when she cuts her nails, the moon starts to wane”.

Just because fingernail clippings look like little crescent moons doesn’t mean you should make it poetic and slap it in a cute song 😭

I don’t see the point of an arranged marriage if it’s not transactional.

I remember the reviews from back then that said she was very awkward and had a long way to go and, sure she did, but she was great for a debutante

If I say Deepika Padukone did a great job in a her debut in OSO would that be a popular opinion? #DesiWatch

Happy Ambedkar Jayanti!
This time I will link to his Riddles of Hinduism

So many of us have been freed because of his thoughts and actions.

My self-love is directly proportional to the amount of sleep I get.

I kept reading it as war-yanked naan and I was like damn what kind of naan is your office giving you

Hey why wasn’t Shruti Haasan in the Pavazha Malli video? I’ve been dying to find out but apparently nobody else is curious? #DesiWatch

Thank you!! ☺️

“That one friend that’s too woke” meme.

How I felt when I asked my dance school not to use songs by a singer who has multiple allegations and one conviction of rape.

Pic for proof.

I’ll never give up hope, I’m sure I’ll find someone at the retirement home

I’m still in awe that I’m an adult with money so I can do whatever I want so I went to Japan and then came back and got green nails.

Straight to jail!

Yeah, it’s mostly right except “Thodi fursat bhi meri jaan kabhi baahon ko dijiye” means “rest your arms a little”, I think. My Hindustani isn’t great either.

Message is self-contradictory? Like touch me, but don’t touch me?

I mean… fair.

An instagram post by the handle mangaloremerijaanofficial which is an ad for KMC hospital that contains an AI-generated image of a baby monkey that looks like Punch-kun. The baby monkey is holding an orangutan plushie in one arm and an out-of-frame doctor is holding his other hand. The image has text that says “Care comes in many forms. Sometimes it begins with a guided health check-up at the KMC Health Check Lounge.” The instagram caption reads the following: “With comfort by his side, Punch found care at KMC Hospital Mangaluru. Follow his steps and book an appointment for a regular health check-up at our Health Check Lounge!”

Capitalizing on monkey trauma smh

How did Aaj Ki Raat from Stree 2 get so popular (almost 2B views on YouTube)? The song is just okay? #DesiWatch

The McDonalds burger thing

Spiritually tired.

A slut for well-defined goals.

YES

Who cares. They cast a white giant as Heathcliff and Margot Robbie is 35. Creative liberty is libertying.

😂

I need to have this

Unhinged thought but Heathcliff could have been Ranveer Singh

Never had one of those but maybe, yes?

Thats so interesting, grateful if you could get the recipe 🫡

Noooo that sounds even better but I don’t know how to make those variations
