today cwilbur is sitting behind a gas station counter. it's a slow day. he's doodling a flag in the corner of his crossword puzzle, humming a familiar tune. it's hot outside. it's cool inside. he's wearing short sleeves, and it doesn't hurt, and he's happy.

There is a reason why it is called our Motherland.
When we are really young we love this land unconditionally. We draw the tiranga with those rough crayons. We proudly say India when someone asks where we are from.
Then we grow and start learning about politics and the various underlying problems of our country. We start seeing the faults. We end up planning that we'll grow up and leave the country. We often say that we are tired of this country.
We grow up more and realise that are we really angry on our country? Or are we angry on some people who cannot uphold the values of our land? Can we really ever be angry on the soil on which we were born? Can we ever hear the words desh, watan, mulk and not feel a sliver of pride as we imagine the tiranga? Can we ever listen to the stories of our fight for independence and not get goosebumps? Can we really ever not love our home?
There is a reason why it is called our motherland....We always end up returning to her even if we drift apart occasionally due to our differences. She is our home. Vande Maataram.
Happy Independence Day !

Happy 4th of July to all my followers from the USA!
And to all those deciding to not celebrate our Independence Day because you're pissed off about a variety of things going on right now, I encourage you to still celebrate that you live in a country where you CAN be vocal about being pissed off, without getting your head...or anything else, chopped off. 馃嚭馃嚫 馃槝
I'm off to a friend's beach house for some fun in the sun, stuffing my face with hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, a beer or two, and fireworks at night. I'll be on and off. Enjoy your day!

I've never been the most patriotic person, and I'd be lying if I said I've never thought of leaving this country when I'm older, but we gotta love desiblr and it's incessant maggi first or masala first debates, simping over mythological characters, phucka/panipuri/golgappa debates, chai appreciation, romanticising life with purana black and white bollywood songs, crying over the education system together, mehendi, jhumkas and yeah... ok the list never ends. Makes you think that hey... Maybe being desi isn't all that bad. it's kinda really cool actually<3
