Bela Malhotra from The s*x lives of college girls ✌🏾
I have been watching the new season and I realized how much I missed them all! I love Bela’s character and how fun and sharp and real she is. And of course, Amrit Kaur is exceptionally pretty 😍

Maharani Jind Kaur
Maharani Jind Kaur, also known as Rani Jindan, was a significant figure in Sikh history, serving as the last queen of the Sikh Empire from 1843 to 1846. Born in 1817 in Gujranwala, she became the youngest wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the founder of the Sikh Empire. After Ranjit Singh's death in 1839, Jind Kaur took on the role of regent for her son, Maharaja Duleep Singh. Jind Kaur's reign as regent was marked by political turmoil and conflict with the British East India Company. In 1845, during the First Anglo-Sikh War, she dispatched the Sikh Army to confront the British, leading to the annexation of the entire Punjab in 1849. After her son's dethronement, she faced imprisonment and exile by the British. Despite challenges, Jind Kaur escaped captivity in 1849, disguising herself as a slave girl and finding refuge in Nepal. Her efforts to resist British dominance continued through correspondence with rebels in Punjab and Jammu-Kashmir. She later reunited with her son in Calcutta in 1861, influencing him to return to Sikhism. Jind Kaur's exile took a toll on her health, and she passed away in her sleep on August 1, 1863, in Kensington, England. Denied the opportunity to be cremated in Punjab, her ashes were eventually brought back to India in 1924 and reburied in the Samadhi of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in Lahore. Despite her challenging life and exile, Maharani Jind Kaur's legacy endures as a symbol of resilience and resistance against colonial rule. In 2009, a memorial plaque was unveiled at the Kensal Green Dissenters Chapel, honouring her contributions to Sikh history.

“The Sex Lives of College Girls” misses the representation mark with Bela Malhotra
Tumblr media
It took me awhile to get to HBO’s “The Sex Lives of College Girls” for a number of reasons. For one, I’m a full time high school teacher and grad school student, which should tell you plenty about how much I want to spend my few moments of free time in front of a screen on top of how much I already do. Much less to watch yet another show centering around people my age playing minors, or at the oldest, 18-year-old college freshmen. 
And honestly, if you’ve read any of my previous reviews regarding work executive produced, created, or co-written by Mindy Kaling, you would know that I do not typically allow myself to have high hopes for it. 
Reading on is important, as is reading those reviews (about films/tv shows centering whiteness/men even if and especially when the main character is a woman of color and oftentimes the embodiment of one-dimensional or deprecating tropes). And also, before anyone immediately decides this is a bout of internalized racism or misogyny, I have noted previously that Mindy Kaling has made it a point of how she is unfairly expected to be a spokesperson for the South Asian experience when white men are not held to the same responsibility or criticized in the same way because they get to tell their singular stories (which are naturally defaulted as the story most worth producing/telling/renewing). I do agree that that is unfair. 
With that said, it cannot be ignored that part of her success and recognition for major accomplishments is celebrating that she is a noteworthy first in many respects directly related to her identity as a South Asian female actor, writer, director, and producer, and for the fact that she is putting on South Asian female leads in spaces where we have not previously seen them: in the leads of mainstream tv series and films. I love this, in theory, and I think it’s important to critique it in practice. 
Did I recently submit my final capstone paper for my graduate degree? Have I suddenly found the time to write an unsolicited thinkpiece on a piece of media that maybe a dozen people will read? Is that what I majored in during undergrad and do I want to revive my love of writing, which felt attacked by the demands of homework assignments and working in academia? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. And I am especially critical of narratives that shape public opinion about my identity as a South Asian woman. I have also created my own work in the hopes of diversifying depictions of desi characters, and the more I see disheartening, repetitive caricatures, the more I feel compelled to explain why this is not okay as well as keeping making my own art in the form of fiction writing, screenplays, or digital art that centers and celebrates my identity in an empowering manner. Because you can be funny and find love and explore your interests and challenge tradition and break down intergenerational trauma without making jabs at yourself, seeking proximity to whiteness, or making your content palatable to an audience that at a baseline, knows very little about your culture and wouldn’t be interested in learning more unless you have Dwight from The Office explain what Diwali is. 
“The Sex of College Girls” sticks to Mindy Kaling’s brand of comedy (self deprecation, the “playful” and somehow not harmful ignorance of white people, lots and lots sexual innuendos), only with more explicit nudity/language afforded by being an HBO production. In this 10-episode series, four college freshmen roommates navigate identity, sexuality, and the other social, financial, and academic demands of being at a prestigious university in Vermont, which is fictionalized in the show as Essex College. 
Amrit Kaur plays Bela Malhotra, a sex-positive, crass-humoured Indian-American girl who is very interested in exploring and unleashing her sexually repressed self, now that she is no longer living with her traditional Indian parents, who think she is studying in neuroscience. She is very passionate about being a comedy writer and writing for the school’s renowned comedy magazine, known as the Catullan. I want to say she is a refreshing new character compared to what we have seen Mindy Kaling create, but she is really just Mindy’s character, Molly Patel, in Late Night (2019) and Devi Vishwakumar from her Netflix series, Never Have I Ever, in a different font. In addition, she cracks the same regurgitated jokes about body hair and is written alongside or hinted at having exclusively white male love interests. Again. 
Not even two minutes into the pilot episode, when the girls are being dropped off to their dorms by their parents, Bela delivers a painful monologue comparing her transformation into a liberated college woman to Ben Affleck’s back tattoo of a phoenix rising up from the ashes. (Like Mindy Lahiri’s character in The Mindy Project, Bela communicates through celebrity references to make her point.) She tells her parents, “Four months ago, I was an Indian loser with cystic acne, sweaty armpits, and glasses. But with one Lasik procedure, an Accutane prescription, and medical-grade Botox injected into my armpits, I’m normal.” 
HBO Max’s TikTok account even recently highlighted that particular scene, as if it’s some hilarious self-aware joke that attacks what society expects women to go through to be considered normal. But this did not do what the writers think it did. Why is Bela’s Indian-ness something she has to overcome in order to achieve “normal-ness”, whatever that is? Her experiences of being a teenager who sweats a lot, has acne, and wears glasses is not unique to Indian girls, so why is it being portrayed as such? Why did she specifically say she was an “Indian loser”? 
Throughout the rest of the episode and series as a whole, the show touches on heavier topics such as classism, internalized homophobia, and sexual assault, which depressingly, majority of women in college experience. And this very much happens to women in their occupations, particularly in the entertainment industry. Instead of being used as filler plot devices, the challenges that the four women experience do inform their relationships with each other and themselves, so I was almost relieved that this was handled with a little bit more nuance. Bela has to consider what it means to be authentic to herself and hold people in positions of power accountable, whether it’s her parents for imposing expectations that are not fulfilling to her or the head writers of the Catullan for facilitating a dangerous bro culture that makes it difficult for her or other victims to come forward about the sexual assault(s) or advance in her writing pursuits. 
I know that they say to write what you know, and Mindy Kaling knows about the world of working with white men in comedy who may abuse their power or make women like Bela work extra hard to prove that they are worthy of a seat at the table. She knows what it’s like to go to an Ivy League school on the east coast. She knows how tricky it is to juggle the expectations and American dream of immigrant parents while growing up in America and trying to figure out who you are. However, I think it would’ve been more interesting and something truly new of Kaling to create Bela through the lens of any one of her other roommates’ story arcs, like being a wealthy, closeted femme lesbian whose family assumes she will marry/date a man within their approved social circle. Or getting caught in an infidelity scandal that impacts her membership on the collegiate soccer team and draws additional controversy because she is a senator’s daughter. Or coming from a low income, conservative family and experiencing a lot of painful or complicated firsts that impact her scholarship/financial standing to be able to continue to attend Essex College. All of these narratives are ones that the modern desi girl can relate to as well, no matter who plays the character. If we were to see something new however, Bela Malhotra would not be a horny science nerd who is subconsciously insecure of being Indian and very interested in sleeping with white men.
In a New York Times interview, Amrit Kaur said one of the cringiest, poorly articulated things she could have when asked about the significance of a character like Bela and why American culture is so obsessed with the sex lives of young women.
In an edited excerpt of their conversation, the actors of the show answered in a way that reflected the experience of their character. Pauline Chalamet who plays small town work-study student Kimberly named that fetishization of young women contributes to the obsession around girls having “crazy, amazing sex all the time”, but the show focuses more on the parts that are honest in that certain situations can be “awkward”, “weird”, and “funky”, which is exactly how Kimberly’s sexual debut and the ensuing events for her character unfold. Alyah Chanelle Scott, who plays Whitney, the soccer player and daughter of a U.S. senator, spoke to the hypersexualization of Black women as scandalous, with white women hailed as the standard of sexy, all seen through the male gaze. I agree with the importance of the show showing Black women getting to have “awkward, normal, messy sexual moments”. Maybe this will be explored in season 2 when news of the cheating scandal makes its way to the wife and eventually Whitney’s mother, who has already demonstrated a familiarity with facing a white public’s judgment in the show. 
For some reason, Kaur felt the need to double down on the statement that Black women get oversexualized, and then add that “brown women have the exact opposite experience. We’re not sexualized at all – we’re virginal. So to now have a character that has sex and has all these ideas about sex, that’s all really important. She gets into a lot of dangerous situations as a result, but also learns a lot.” Framing it the way she did, as in unnecessarily comparing two minorities without any nuance, implies that Black women benefit from having the opposite experience of brown women, which simply isn’t true. In the cases where we see Black women reclaiming and celebrating their sexuality, they are subjected to additional scrutiny and consequences for their career/public image (see: Janet Jackson, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, to name a few). She could’ve skipped the part about Black women and said brown women, more specifically Indian women, are not seen as sexual beings, and the point she was maybe trying to make would have come across better. When Black women are perceived as inherently sexual, they are not cast in empowering roles and the leads of HBO tv shows; they are ridiculed and victimized and harmed at a rate higher than any other demographic in the United States historically. This has been happening from as far back as the era of slavery after kidnapping and trafficking people from Africa, and today, in regards to crimes such as the kidnapping, rape, or murder of Black people. And the numbers are even higher for Black trans women. 
Kaur’s statement was made in poor taste and was far too binary. Scott said what she needed to, without speaking for Indian women or their experiences, so why did Kaur feel like she could say what she did? It brings up other questions about voices that are being included and represented in this show both in front of and behind the camera. 
What other writers besides Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble (you guessed it, a white man) participated in crafting this story? Were the only two options for this women of color in this narrative to be virginal/not sexual at all or to be very sexual (albeit in different ways from how they are usually portrayed)?I guess so, considering the very on-the-nose title of the show. But why was that how Kaur seemed to perceive the entire Black and brown experience to be as well? The power of media and representation – it really does impact and reinforce thinking. 
In summation, I was left disappointed with Bela as a character and Kaur as one of the few examples of desi representation I have in mainstream media, and the closest to my background (as a Punjabi woman raised Sikh) since Lilly Singh came on the scene (and she’s a whole other story). 
To my Punjabi women coming up and getting cast, to lowkey problematic Geminis, and to writer’s rooms everywhere (and maybe even some PR teams), do better.

So I woke up this morning and I was like, I want to rb Amrit and Rabindra Kaur's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' (The Storming Of 'The Golden Temple'). But unsurprisingly it is nowhere on this site (and it's nearly impossible to find high-res versions online!). SO I'm going to drop it here, along with some of their other brilliance.
Overwhelming intricacy. The more you look, the more you see, and the more chilling it is. That's the kind of art I love.

8. Tem algum hobbie que eles tem em comum?
como eu sou uma pessoa que AMA artes e não cursou nada relacionado a isso (apesar de me rodear de arte nos outros aspectos da minha vida kakaka), é quase que certo que todos meus personagens tenham hobbies relacionados à isso. é mais difícil que seja um hobby específico em comum, mas costumam gostar de tocar algum instrumento ou de teatro, pintura, desenho, escrita, dança, culinária, etc etc. obviamente não é regra, é engraçado ter personagens que divergem totalmente disso, MAS é o usual
13. Primeiro você pensa no fc ou no nome/perfil do char?
DEPENDE. eu gosto bastante de pensar na personalidade do char para entender qual cara vai se encaixar no que eu pensei, mas sabe quando você NECESSITA jogar com um fc e nada mais importa??? pois bem, tenho desses momentos também, então quando eu posso jogar com algum fc que eu queria muito eu surto com isso e depois é que vou atrás de pensar no perfil do dito cujo 🤪 mas jamais eu penso primeiro no nome porque eu já tenho char demais e preciso quebrar muito a cabeça pra ir atrás de um nome novo KKKKKKKKKK
16. Um FC que você adora ter como opp. (ou que gostaria de ter como opp)
BOM, EU TENHO MUITOS FCS QUE SOU CADELINHA. vamos começar pelo meu crush supremo de anos a fio vulgo dylan o'brien. ele. agora preciso dar o disclaimer de que amo todos os fcs que tenho como opp, ok? ok. CONTINUANDO!!! nick robinson é muito meu amor, ben barnes só a misericórdia, aaron tveit tenho um amor especial. tom holland é precioso demais, não aguento. cito também archie renaux e taehyung. e yang yang!!! (chay suede também, max minghella meu deus) OK TENHO UMA LISTA ENORME MAS VOU PARAR POR AQUI. agora vamo galera mulheres!! bruna marquezine (a iminência de ship dela com uma char que eu tinha com a courtney eaton vive de aluguel em minha mente até hoje), daisy edgar-jones, florence pugh (tudo pra mim ugh), zendaya pois SEM CONDIÇÕES, emma watson porque né, crush das antigas horrores, reneé rapp porque tô fissurada em sex life of college girls (no caso estou fissurada nela e na amrit kaur, mas adoraria jogar com a amrit) E OK PAREI COM A LISTA DE VEZ PORQUE FOI DEMAIS. tell me you're bi without telling me you're bi
36. Qual foi seu primeiro muse?
meu primeiro muse foi num rp de acampamento de verão, lá pra metade de 2012, que o nome era sophie ramsey!! (o sobrenome era em homenagem a minha personagem preferida da série de livros Garotas da Rua Beacon, abafa NEWJKEN) eu desconhecia TOTALMENTE o mundo de rp antes disso e ficava inventando uns plots twists pro background trágico que eu tinha dado pra coitada porque estava me divertindo muito roteirizando a vida dela tal qual uma novela KKKKKKK passou por vários fcs, mas a atual é willa fitzgerald porque combinou perfeitamente e nunca mais irá mudar. e também ela começou hétero mas se entendeu bi tal qual a mãe 🗣🗣 atualmente o hc é de que ela namora uma boyzinha e tcharam! character development!

With Maharaaj Jee's kirpa, 2018 has been such a wonderful year. It's been packed full of so many new experiences, creative opportunities, achieved goals, small victories, incredible moments and so much beautiful sangat that I couldn't really have asked for anything more. Maharaaj has allowed me do to the things that I love constantly throughout the year, and for that I am eternally grateful. 💕
We kicked off the year with the launch of our Women Weaving Wisdom interfaith exhibition at the Houses of Parliament alongside some of my dearest and most inspirational interfaith activist friends. I sat on a panel and spoke about Sikhi at my first ever Ahmadiyya Muslim Women's Association interfaith event. I was given the opportunity to talk openly and honestly about my sikhi, my kes and my dastaar on a BBC documentary called My Turban and Me. I thought I said some insightful things, but apparently people only remember me for instigating the ears in vs. ears out debate lol!
I completed my mental health first aid training alongside some amazing Kaurs and Singhs. We launched our Sikh women's mental health stories campaign, and we are now in the process of rebranding it into a separate platform for all punjabi womxn to launch in the new year - stay tuned! I took a place on BME women's politics and activism programme which has taught me so much about making change, and we recently launched our micro campaign, the Yay or Nay Project, to educate young people about healthy relationships and consent.
With Maharaaj Jee’s kirpa, I completed my first year of the degree of my dreams with a strong first class average, which was a major confidence boost for me after 4 years of having struggled through my first degree! I led my first ever art workshop at primary school in Wolverhampton, and led my first ever extended assembly on Sikhi for Vaisakhi at a primary school in Derby. I also finally started tabla lessons - something I had wanted to do for pretty much all of my teenage years and adult life!
I had my calligraphy displayed in an exhibition for the first time and I held a calligraphy workshop at a university Sikh society for the first time. I was also able to lead workshops at various kids camps and adult camps including Sikh 2 Inspire Camp, Nihung Santhia Camp and Khalsa Camp, and for the first time ever I was invited abroad to lead a series of calligraphy workshops at a gurmat camp in Indiana, which was such an honour and an absolutely amazing experience.
I spent a good chunk of time at in art galleries and museums, at exhibitions and workshops, meeting so many lovely new people, going on various little trips with my dearest friends, eating at a copious amount of vegan restaurants, going to so many lovely weddings, travelling up and down the country, and generally feeling loved and feeling free.
And finally, in 2018 Guru Sahib kept me uplifted and afloat by blessing me with the darshan of some of their beloved mahapurkhs, with the sangat of some of their amazing gursikhs from all over the world, with many many beautiful kirtan darbaars, katha darbaars, gurbani jaaps and paath bhogs, some stunning amrit velas and house programmes, and with a record number of gurmat camps, including some beautiful Kaurs' camps with my beautiful sisters, and the amazing Basics and Beyond camp which has been the most perfect end to the year.
There are also many things I wasn't able to do this year and a number of goals that I didn't achieve, of course! I'm feeling pretty optimistic about them and looking forward to tackling them, and a whole bunch of fresh adventures, head on in 2019.
But all that aside, Guru Sahib has again blessed us with another (western!) year, another day, another minute and another chance to reach our one true goal. It can be easy to forget how short and fleeting life is - it isn’t something to be taken for granted. Let’s remember our purpose in life and let’s make the most of it. 🙏🏽
Wishing you all a very happy new year! May 2019 be fulfilling, fruitful and full of blessings for all of us. 💛

DAY 3528
Jalsa, Mumbai                   Nov 21,  2017                Tue 10:20 PM
The enormity of caricaturing among the well wishers and the very talented Ef is , to put it mildly ..  delightful !!
The art work needs and requires imagination .. a selection of the figure that wishes to be placed against a face .. a face which needs to be searched and adjusted according to the chosen frame .. and then the final touches photoshopped to perfection ..
There is obviously a great amount of labor and pain that do go into this rather intricate procedure ..
I am enamoured of course .. and compliment the makers, but do feel this should get a better platform for exhibition in the public domain .. it is after all a creative disclosure of sorts .. one that needs to be given the strength of reaction and praise from the outside world ..
Some of the efforts are :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
..... and so on and on and on .. 
and then comes one that brings a story with its presentation ..
Tumblr media
.. yes a story .. the racquet and game of tennis and my presence in it ..
Sherwood College Nainital had what was then known as the Senior Cambridge Examination, which was the school leaving exam, after completing the 10th Standard .. the examination was held at our rival school St Joseph’s , across the hill from us .. and after which we had a long period of wait before considering University .. Senior Cambridge was in November .. University opened in July the next year  .. a 6 month furlough .. 
What does one do while one waits for admissions to University open .. ? One finds some extracurricular activities to be involved in .. and my Mother suggested Tennis ..
On a short visit to one of my relatives city, Banda, in UP I had been taken to a nearby club of sorts .. Banda, is a small town city, amidst the rough and struggle of almost rural India and the facilities there were not too many .. but the Club had a tennis Court and my relative a racquet .. 
So one fine evening at the club I asked for the racquet, walked on to the court and struck a few balls .. my relative saw what he saw and sent an immediate recommendation to my Mother then in Allahabad/ Delhi, that the ‘boy has potential’ .. and then all attention was directed to this wiry fellow possessing unusually long and thin hands and legs, to get into the game seriously .. and all in recommendation, looking at the possibility of a possible Ramanathan Krishnan, a Rod Laver a Rosewall .. all the prominent champions of the times  .. hehahaah .. it was a laugh !!
BUT .. Mother was serious .. as Mother’s are ..  and on settling down in Delhi after my Father’s transfer form Allahabad , found out through friends the top coaching scheme in Delhi - the Raj Kumari Amrit Kaur Tennis Coaching Scheme, that operated from the lawns of the NSCI Stadium, lying just beyond  India Gate .. a stadium built with great pride for the first Asian Games that India was hosting .. or had already hosted ..
So an enrolment took place .. racquets were bought .. proper gear was put in place and Mr AB, living at the Diplomatic Enclave Govt quarters and flats, the D II type, would every afternoon get on to his bicycle, the seat adjusted to its maximum, to accommodate his long legs .. and peddle his way for a good half hour looking every inch a champion, for this coaching scheme rituals ..
There were 3 courts .. A, B and C .. B and C courts were made of ‘bujree’ , that granule grey earth .. and A court was grass .. quite obviously the ratings for the players was determined by their acumen  .. beginners on court C and then onwards depending on your capacity and capability and progress, on to court B and then finally to A, which was like representative of country level, eventually to be considered for Wimbledon .. !! 
I spent a couple of days at C, and was soon promoted to B .. this is where I remained till University started and because of my College timings, never could attend any further coaching ... end of that great big dream of a tennis champion .. 
The coaching was serious stuff .. the head coach a strict task master .. reprimanding and pushing us every minute into giving our best and working towards it .. and punctuality was even stricter .. a few minutes late on the courts and .. racquet above your heads and running the 400 metre track a couple of times at the Stadium as a punishment .. and after that .. no tennis .. be the ball boy .. !!
Serious training routines were in practice .. specialists from Australia - the top most Tennis country at the time in the world .. would come down and conduct classes .. severe physical classes .. which in the summer heat of Delhi were a devastating package .. 
I never got to court A .. though on occasion I did get a stray chance to play a few sets with the big boys .. that was it ..
College followed .. and Science subjects had odd timings and tennis was never again followed .. until a College tournament drew my attention again and I did play a few there .. without any great results .. the next opportunity was in Kolkata or Calcutta then at the Office tournament .. where a certain amount of success was achieved and brought some wide eyes of appreciation among colleagues .. that was it ..
On and off there were informal venturings at the odd moment but that is where my efforts at the game ended .. I do follow the game though .. and have great pleasure to have met some champions of the world - Vijay Amritraj and earlier in Kolkata .. Naresh Kumar,  Jaideep Mukherji, Premjit Lal .. and the other greats .. Pete Sampras, Federer, Jokovic .. and some .. been to Wimbledon a couple of times on the Centre Court to watch ...  to the US Open, where I was mistakenly taken as Vijay Amritraj .. embarrassing .. and  the French Open in Paris .. 
Tennis .. a great sport .. and an end to my escapades with it  ...
OH .. and in Mumbai played a charity with Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupati with Naseeruddin Shah and myself .. we lost .. thanks to my exceptionally poor game   play .. !!
