In ancient northern India, Kathakas communicated stories from the great epics and ancient mythology through dance. Characterized by intricate footwork and precise rhythmic patterns, Kathak is one of the most complex Indian classical dance. Had privilege to experience it in real through a close friend of mine.

Well then I need to remember not to shortchange myself don’t I swear to fucking God if a motherfucking Dr. Ken does not produce himself I’m going to kill a person this is not very fucking funny stuff I don’t know which doctors would even be laughing at this because literally some of you guys have been abused also

Do you know what I think that Indian man was afraid of that I would write storybooks better than he could and then your daughters would be trying to suck off of my booby

We’re pretty ridiculous it’s just is it a coincidence that there was actually like a Dr. Ken who was later made for TV real doctor well allegedly he’s a real doctor

If I spelled your last name right it was by chance it is very hard to explain some things Dr.

I see exactly where and when rob snyders were trash

Everyone knows.

Just traffic then? Do they use their own kids though? Or just surgery? Gross. I’m a little shocked he wasn’t killed a while ago

It’s a lot psychologically.

It’s so deprived I’m like

Oh wow. Who’s wanting to see their souls exterminated forever?

Dont ask Americans any deep questions they don’t know

Why Iron Goddess of Mercy is the best oolong tea:

Superb 10/10 name (Chinese: Tieguanyin)

Even the type of tea has a badass name: 烏龍茶, "dark dragon tea" like come on

Every cup tastes a little different. It's usually faintly nutty, but today my cup tasted slightly cinnamon-y

Super easy to clean out of the steeper ball thing because it's just big leaves

AFFORDABLE

Still tastes good even after it cools off a little

You can get like 4-5 cups out of one teaspoon of leaves so a bag of it lasts forever

🔥IRON GODDESS OF MERCY OOLONG TEA FOREVER🔥

#textpost #I loooove Chinese teas but I've had some killer stuff from India and northern African countries too #Tunisian tea is always awesome but it's hard/expensive to get... #I generally order from Teasource because they work with the farmers and it's ethical/sustainable #Sometimes the co-op up the road has good stuff too though

Translation: oh honey bee bearing beautiful wings and who extracts the honey from the best of the best flowers, please tell me the truth. Do you know any flower with a fragrance better than the hair of the peacock like beautiful woman whom I love?

i just got bashed by my bestie because I chai tea'd the fucking talwar,,,,, this is horrific. i apologise to all desi folks; never did i expect this to happen

#BREAKING NEWS: NUMBER 1 PAVITR POSTER IN THE WORLD IS ACTUALLY A CRIMINAL. SAID “SWORD SWORD” IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. THE INTERNET IS EXPLODING #funnyhaha #agnirambles #talwar #desi #do i tag this as- #SIKE #pavitr prabhakar #he is related to this on a miniscule level therefore this shall go in his tag #fyi i am south indian. “talwar” comes from the northern half of india and is used frequently. moral of the story: please research

"why do white people dig into their ancestry for a smidgen of culture" because they think they're not allowed to meaningfully associate with anything outside their own immediate cultural context. Even *universalist* traditions like, idk, buddhism, are tainted by the perception of cultural appropriation because their most recent adherents tend to come from the sinosphere or SE asia

#with buddhism its doubly ironic #because some of the earliest converts were greeks #who they're totally happy to associate with as western/northern europeans #at least *classical* greeks #East asian buddhism was appropriated. i mean transmitted. from central asian sources who in turn received it from northern india #though of course in those days india didnt even exist. so they received it from Gandhara as did the Greeks #I get that white adoption of subaltern cultural elements is fraught #but if you dont want a culture exclusively derived from whitebread protestantism and odinist larping #you will need to be somewhat more nuanced in how you talk about it

Okay so has anyone done solo traveling as like... an adult? Do I have to stay in hostels to meet people and avoid going insane or can I skip? Will group trips be full of 21 year olds? How much do people usually budget for this kind of thing?

#im thinking maybe august through the end of the year #and I'll rent out the flat so that covers that #and then I'll need to save some money i expect but like #how much #lol I'm so unprepared #to clarify I'm talking about traveling for like 4 or 5 months not a week or two #I'm thinking august in (northern) europe #then sep in India then Bhutan #then two weeks in japan #and then the rest of oct / nov in S America #before going home for Dec #maybe via NY for a week or so
