when i first saw this picture, all i could think of was - he's ready for garba and dandiya🥵😭
[For clarification: Garba and Dandiya raas are both a type of Gujarati dance done, especially during the festival of Navratri, albeit most people also do it anytime, anywhere, it's very heart happy satisfying]
I'm gonna be alone without my brother and college friends.
(the other options are the racist and fatphobic group from the football match and while there are two boys who are good with me, I don't get good vibes from them.)
I’m always so amazed by the way that people used to know all of these super specific ballroom dances a couple of centuries ago but then I remember that I still do garba
i remember the navratri and pujo craze how every year i looked for new ways to style my lehengas for garba and new outfits for pujo and the pandal hopping and the dancing the night away with garba and bhai bhai and how this year because of a terrible ass college placement season (fuck this economy) i haven't seen a single pandal nor have i been able to garba for even one round and this just sucks so fucking much istfg
