Price Well Worth Paying.

THIS IS IT, FOLKS!!! IT’S WEDDING TIME!!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!!

Summary: Before he can marry you, Piotr must undergo a vykup nevesty to prove his worthiness. Will he be up to the task?

(The answer is yes.)

Rating: G for MAXIMUM FLUFF!!!

Pairing(s): Piotr Rasputin x Reader.

This fic was inspired by @nebulous-leo‘s own Piotr x Reader vykup nevesty fic, “Ransom”!!! Y’all should absolutely check it out, in addition to her blog @leo-writer where she posts all her OC related content (which is absolutely delightful and wonderful and is the best thing on earth) and her Ao3 account, where she posts all the major works for said OC content; she currently has several works for Kurt from the Ant-Man movies and her OC, Jenna, on there; I can’t recommend reading them enough!!!

(Also, many thanks to @leo-writer for proofing this fic to make sure it wasn’t too matchy-matchy to her own fic!)

Piotr doesn’t often find himself nervous.

Some might doubt it, but it’s true. As rigid as he seems –and, admittedly, is—about some things, he seldom gets nervous. Frustrated, maybe, or tense, perhaps, but rarely downright, outright nervous.

He supposes, though, that the sensation coursing through him right now isn’t nervousness, precisely. Giddiness would be a better way to describe the butterflies thrumming in his stomach, how he has to keep himself from smiling nonstop so his cheeks don’t start hurting, and the way delighted, slightly nervous giggles keep bubbling up in his throat.

He’s getting married. Today. He’s getting married to you today, after so many obstacles and setbacks and arguments and makeups and planning and scheduling—

It’s here. It’s time.

Save for one last thing, which Piotr had wanted and then his family had borderline insisted –as much as they insisted on things—on doing: a vykup nevesty.

A vykup nevesty, as Piotr’s father had described it to him when he was very young, was for the family’s entertainment at its core. The groom would provide a payment for the bride –money or jewelry were traditional—and then the family would bring out a different man or a woman dressed as the bride to try and trick the groom. Once the groom realized that the person in question wasn’t his beloved, he would ask for his bride again and provide a higher payment for his spouse-to-be before he was finally bequeathed his bride, thus allowing the ceremony to start. Over time, the process had expanded to include various riddles, dares, and other shenanigans in the ransom process, and generally amounted to a great deal of fun.

He knows you helped write questions and answers for a “trivia” portion of the vykup nevesty. He also knows that he’ll have to deal with Mikhail’s dramatics –which normally would be nothing short of headache inducing, but between his elation over the fact that it’s his wedding day and the generous wad of cash tucked in his pocket, Piotr’s feeling borderline unstoppable.

He gives himself one final glance over in the mirror –he’d spent the night at the house your two’s friends and family had chipped in on—to make sure that his suit and tie are in good order –Nikolai had ushered everyone out at his son’s request so he could have a moment to himself just to think and process—before heading downstairs and out the front door—

And nearly walks smack into Mikhail and Ellie.

“Good morning, baby brother!” Mikhail chirps in Russian, grinning broadly. “Are you ready for the challenge of a lifetime?”

“I grew up with you; I doubt this will be worse than that,” Piotr fires back, feeling a twinge of misgiving at the slight grimace that creases his older brother’s face. Switching to English, he says, “I take it you two are here for vykup nevesty.”

“Yep,” Ellie confirms, popping the ‘p.’ “There’s gonna be three stages to this. You ready?”

He rolls his shoulders, bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet. “I am ready.”

“Excellent. Before we get started—” Mikhail produces an empty plastic coffee grounds container –which, upon closer inspection, has a label taped to it that says ‘motorcycle repair fund’—and wiggles it expectantly. “A little donation, if you please.”

Piotr refrains from rolling his eyes as he extracts his wallet from his inner jacket pocket, then drops about forty dollars in the container.

“Alright, first question,” Ellie says, casting a glance at her phone screen before looking back up at her mentor. “What is the most commonly recurring, non-serious argument in your relationship?”

Piotr blinks, borderline shocked. “What?”

“What do you guys play-argue about the most?”

“I understood that, just… she put that down as question?”

“She told you she was making these hard, right?”

“She did, she did,” Piotr says, grinning to himself as he rubs thoughtfully at his chin. “I just thought there might be progression of difficulty.”

“Eh, they’re all about this difficult.”

“Bozhe moi.” He quirks his mouth to the side as he thinks; you’re particularly cantankerous on your best of days –some might even say your best days, period—and while he’s learned to just go with some of it, there’s also so much the two of you playfully banter about…

“Tick, tick, tick, tick,” Mikhail says after about half a minute of silence, grinning like the cat that got the canary.

Piotr casts a dull glare at him. “Quiet. I am thinking.”

“Time is off the essence, baby brother! You would not want some dashing rogue to swoop in and sweep your bride away, no?”

Piotr ignores his brother’s dramatics –though he does roll his eyes—and gets down to thinking. Okay. Play fight means it is not serious enough to cause problems, but still something we are different on… “Food,” he says finally. “We argue about what foods should be eaten and not.”

“Correct,” Ellie says, scrolling further down on her phone. “Okay, next question—”

“Least favorite bad habit,” Mikhail says, reading over Ellie’s shoulder.

“Which bad habit of yours is Y/N’s least favorite,” Ellie clarifies.

Piotr snorts and shakes his head. “O, chudesno. Ah…” His voice trails off as his mind works, running through a mental list of various possible habits of his that probably drive you up a wall.

‘Being controlling’ hits him first, but something feels off about it; while, in all likelihood, it’s the most accurate, he doesn’t think you’d pull out something that had been a contributor to so many bad fights the two of you have had on such a special day –or wave that in front of Mikhail’s nose as possible teasing material, either.

‘Rules happy’ also fits that category, along with ‘too serious’…

Habit, Piotr, he tells himself when Mikhail starts mimicking a clock again. Not character flaw. Habit. Think smaller. “Workaholic. Or having to put everything away between tasks.”

“You have to pick one,” Ellie says while Mikhail starts ‘tick-tock-ing” louder.

Piotr mulls it over, then eliminates ‘workaholic’ since it fits closer to a character flaw –for him, at least—than it does a bad habit. “Having to put everything away between tasks.”

“Correct,” Ellie says. “Next question: mutual favorite nighttime activity.”

Mikhail lets out a raucous whistle and waggles his eyebrows at Piotr. “Damn, baby brother, are you into nasty shit I didn’t even know about? What, do you—”

“I do speak Russian; please stop,” Ellie says, completely monotone, while staring at her phone screen.

Mikhail cuts himself off with a grimace and a muttered “sorry.”

Piotr lets out a heavy sigh and rubs at his eyes; he suspects you slid that question in there just for that kind of reaction.

He’ll just have to pay you back for it later.

The thought makes him smile a little, but he quickly pushes it down and gets to thinking before Mikhail can start making clock noise again –or, worse, ask why he’s smiling. Mutual favorite nighttime activity…

Sex is an entirely feasible answer. Plausible, even. The two of you both enjoy sex, and he doesn’t doubt for a moment that you’d put that answer in there just to embarrass him a little…

Except it seems just a hair off. While you’d definitely take the opportunity to rib him a little, he knows you wouldn’t put Ellie in such an awkward position –or whoever else wound up reading the questions out.

“Snuggling,” he decides, which gets an annoyed groan from Mikhail. “Each night, we try to take time to just snuggle and talk about our days.”

“Correct.”

Mikhail rolls his eyes. “That is stupidly vanilla.”

“No one asked you,” Piotr mutters, letting some of his annoyance show through.

“Next question,” Ellie interjects before an argument can break out between the two brothers. “What is Y/N’s biggest pet peeve?”

“Scott Summers,” Piotr fires off automatically.

Ellie snorts and claps a hand over her mouth. “Okay, that’s technically wrong, but I’m counting it because she’ll like that you answered that.”

“I think I am missing something,” Mikhail says, glancing between Piotr and Ellie.

“He’s a douche and Y/N doesn’t like him,” Ellie supplies quickly. “Also I’m pretty sure he’s cheating on his girlfriend.”

“No!”

“Yeah. And she’s a telepath.”

Mikhail smirks. “So, he is idiot, too.”

“Basically.”

“Be nice, NTW,” Piotr admonishes his trainee, even though the corner of his mouth is turning up in a smile. “What did Y/N have for original answer?”

“Slow walkers,” Ellie says—

Which makes him snort because of course.

“Alright, last question: who is Y/N closest to in her family?”

A contemplative frown tugs at his lips as he flips through his mental rolodex of who you consider family.

Wade and Nate immediately spring to the top of the list. You connected with Wade first, but you view Nate as a father –and, granted, you’re close to Russell and Ellie and Yukio and Neena and countless other members of the Institute, but Wade and Nate are definitely closest to you. They know more of your darkest secrets, at least.

He mentally derails when he remembers your uncle and factors him in, and then it becomes a game of mental shuffles as he switches from Wade to Nate to your uncle and then back through again, over and over, until Ellie starts pointedly looking at the time display on her phone and Mikhail starts acting like he’s falling asleep on his feet. “Nate. She’s closest to Nate.”

“Wrong answer,” Ellie says. “You have to pay up for that one.”

Piotr frowns while he fishes a few bills out of his wallet and drops them in Mikhail’s plastic container. “What was right answer?”

“You. She said she’s closest to you.”

He blinks –and then smiles, because of course the two of you are family. You’ve been family to each other for a long time, and after today you’ll legally be family as husband and wife.

“Alright,” Ellie says. “That’s it for round one. Ready for round two?”

“Absolutely,” Piotr says, completely confident. He’s never been more ready for anything in his life.

***

 They take the path that connects your two’s new home to the rest of Xavier’s property and stroll across the back lawn to where everything’s been set up –well, Piotr and Ellie stroll. Mikhail insists on teleporting himself every few feet because “walking is for fools.”

Once the chairs and the guests and the wedding party and all the decorations come into view, Piotr’s pulse skyrockets and his splits into a massive grin. Seeing everything and everyone there, even though the rehearsal had been last night and he’d helped set everything up, makes it all more real.

And then he sees a woman in a white dress and veil standing adjacent to Charles at the altar, and it takes all his willpower not to sprint the remaining distance between him and the ceremony site.

Mikhail stops him before they reach the little tent where Charles and the wedding party and the woman in white are set up and waggles the “motorcycle repair fund” jar in his face once more. “I’m afraid there’s a toll to pay before you can enter, baby brother.”

Piotr shells out a few more twenty dollar bills –then mouths a silent “thank you” over Mikhail’s head when their mother prevents the eldest Rasputin from asking for more via making a stern, mildly disapproving noise in the back of her throat.

“Alright!” Mikhail says, gesturing grandly towards the altar. “Toll has been paid! Piotr, you may have your bride!”

He steps under the cover of the tent –and has to stop to remind himself that this is likely a trick, if the rules of the vykup nevesty are anything to go by.

Correction: it’s definitely a trick. First, the height and size of the woman are all wrong. Second, she’s clearly wearing a purple colored dress underneath the white dress –which, on closer inspection, isn’t a wedding dress but some white bedsheets sewn together. Third, the “veil” over her face is a deconstructed pillowcase with lace hot-glued to the edge. Fourth, the “bride” is laughing, as are several members of the wedding party and the crowd of guests.

“This is not Y/N,” Piotr says, turning back to face Mikhail and Ellie.

“What? How can you not recognize your own beloved!” Mikhail exclaims –overly dramatic, which further reinforces that the woman standing in front of him is not his bride. “Have you been drinking, Piotr? Are you drunk?”

“This is not Y/N,” Piotr repeats as a few more chuckles go up in the crowd. He quickly scans the guests and wedding party, and manages to deduce who’s under the veil based on who’s missing and the relative height and size of the white-clad woman. “Kitty, thank you very much for coming, but I would like to marry Y/N today.”

“Damn!” Kitty laughs and whips off her “veil,” tossing aside while everyone else chuckles and claps. “That was fast!”

Piotr shrugs. “Not hard to tell when you are missing from crowd.”

“Touché.” Kitty phases out from under her makeshift white dress, then smooths out the purple cocktail dress she’d worn underneath before offering Piotr a fist bump. “Congratulations, dude.”

He fist bumps her back, corner of his mouth turning up in a smile—

Then is immediately accosted by Wade as Kitty goes to sit down in the crowd.

“Alright, Google Chrome’s Russian Cousin, how’re you feeling?” Wade asks, microphone in hand –who thought that was good idea?—and clad in a dress that matches the bridesmaids but has been tailored for a man’s body and genuinely looks flattering on him. “Ready for the last part of your however you say it?”

“Very ready,” Piotr says enthusiastically. “I have been ready for long time.”

“Aw, that’s so adorable. Unfortunately, before we can start the final phase, I think your broski over there needs some more dough for his repair fund.”

Piotr shells out the last of the money he’d set aside for the vykup nevesty –it’s not like he’ll be needing it for later, at this point—and drops into Mikhail’s container, then turns back to Wade. “Alright, what is last phase?”

“Well, as the older brother in every way but biological to your future wifey,” Wade says with theatrical seriousness. “I do need to make sure that you’re of suitable marriage material before the ceremony starts. Can’t have my little sis shacking up with a slouch.”

Piotr rolls his eyes good naturedly. “You have known me for several years. And you have been around entire time Y/N and I were dating.”

“Hush, metal grasshopper, this is my moment,” Wade says as he pulls a piece of paper out of the bust portion of his dress. “So, just to make sure that you meet the mark, I’ve drummed up a few eensy-teensy questions to ask.”

Piotr grins and shakes his head; he’s not getting out of this, so there’s no point in being upset about anything. “Very well. Ask your questions.”

“Thank you. Question one: what makes you think you’re worthy to marry my sister?”

Piotr chokes, more out of shock than anything. “What kind of question is that?”

“The one I’m asking, Chrome Dome. Which means you have to answer it. Start talking, we’ve got a list to get through,” Wade says, angling his microphone at Piotr.

Piotr nudges Wade’s hand back so the microphone isn’t right in his face, then considers the question for a few second before answering. “Because she chose me. Marriage is many things, but at core it is choice to commit to living life with partner and work through whatever hardships and challenges arise as team. It is choice to keep loving and communicating. I could be exactly who I am, but if Y/N did not choose me, I would not be worthy. But she did choose me, which is what makes me worthy.”

“Ooh, going from the consent angle! Wade like-y!” Wade says a few guests nod, impressed.

Off to the side, Nikolai beams like the proud papa he is and Alex shoots her youngest son a thumbs up.

“Alright, you pass the first question. Second question: if three mini-lion robots broke into your house and formed into a super-lion robot, what would you do to protect your lady from any and all harm?”

“Anything I had to,” Piotr answers automatically.

Wade mimics a buzzer noise. “Lame answer. Cop out.”

“It is truth,” Piotr insists. “No one ever really knows what they would do in moment until they are there. I will not commit to idea I may not follow through on in moment because my instincts might wind up being different. What I do know, however, is that I will do whatever I have to in order to keep Y/N safe, and that will not change regardless of what moment faces me.”

Wade studies him for a moment, then nods slowly. “Alright. I’ll take that. Next question!”

“How many questions are there?” Piotr asks, trying to catch a glimpse of the paper.

“As many as I need,” Wade says angling the paper away from Piotr’s line of sight. “Okay, big question here: what do you love most about my sister?”

“Everything,” Piotr says earnestly, tone dreamy and lovestruck. “She… she is everything to me. She helps me step back and appreciate day to day. She makes me laugh and smile –and over things I never thought I would, which has been… interesting.” He chuckles along with everyone else. “She has helped me grow so much as person, and challenges me on how I think and act and do things… She is beautiful, and kind, and smart, and funny, and I am so lucky that I get to marry her.”

Several “awws” go up in the crowd, and more than a few people dab at their eyes with tissues or hankies.

Wade, however, lets out a dramatic sob and blows his nose noisily into a lace edged handkerchief. “I promised myself I wouldn’t cry!”

Piotr merely smiles and shakes his head.

“Alright, big guy. Now that you’ve made everyone here cry, you ready to get married?”

“Yes,” Piotr says eagerly, excitement coiling in his stomach once more. “More than.” He feels someone tap on his shoulder, and he turns, expecting to see Mikhail holding out the “repair fund” container in a last ditch attempt to get more money—

Except you’re standing behind him, dressed in your wedding gown and holding onto Nathan’s arm and beaming up at him like he’s the most important thing in the world. “Hey.”

“Hi.” Tears of joy well up in his eyes, and he presses his hand against his mouth to try and contain himself. “You look so beautiful.”

“You look very handsome yourself.” Your eyes sparkle as you gaze up at him. “Ready to do this thing?”

“Very ready,” Piotr says with an excited giggle.

Nathan hugs you and presses a fatherly kiss to your forehead before handing you off. “Take good care of her.”

“Always,” Piotr promises as he makes to help you over to your side of the altar.

You have other ideas, though, going in for a hug first.

Piotr wraps his arms around you and kisses the top of your head –careful not to mess up your hair—while the guests and wedding party make noises of delight and appreciation and Aiden and his team snap pictures.

Once the hug ends, he helps you get over to your side of the altar, then Wade takes your bouquet for you and helps you straighten out the skirt of your dress—

And then everything’s genuinely a blur. Charles makes a speech about the relationship as he’s witnessed it and the healthy love the two of you model for the students –which has both of you tearing up—before talking about the value of commitment and communication, you two exchange your vows and the rings, and then Charles pronounces the two of you as husband and wife, and then Piotr’s kissing you and you’re kissing him and—

It’s everything, as it always has been.

Blog 3 :

Day - Tuesday Date - 07/02/2023

Time - 10:37 a.m. Place - New Delhi

Hey everyone!! Hope you're all doing well. I am certainly doing great. Why? I'll tell you that.

So, as I've already said in my first blog I'm into singing. On the 5th of February 2023, I got my first big gig. I got a chance to perform my first live concert. Yeah, you read it right. And oh god, was it surreal.

Being an Alumni from Darbari Lal DAV Model School, Pitampura, I got a chance to perform at Indira Gandhi Stadium in front of a huge crowd. The name of the event was "DAV United". Teachers, students and alumni from all the branches of DAV in India were present, along with famous personalities who are alumni of DAV as well. Kartik Aryan, Maninder Bhuttar, Milind Gaba, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta and many more celebrities were present there.

Talking about my performance, I did two. One was a Karaoke one the other was an open mic. The songs I chose were Bollywood retro songs sung by the legendary singer Asha Bhosle. Songs like Dum maaro dum, Hungama ho gya, Ye mera dil yaar ka deewana and many more.

Fun fact about me - I have a tendency to get stage fright. But standing on that stage, in front of thousands of people, it all made sense. The vibe, the fun, the music, the rhythm and the people were all making sense. In that moment I felt that this is where belong and the stage is mine. Once I started singing, the crowd started singing with me, and that made me so confident.

This is one of the pictures from the concert. I felt bold, confident, cheerful and all packed up with good vibes.

I am very grateful for my music teacher, who found me capable enough to represent my school in front of so many people. Can't wait for more such opportunities, because now, there's no-one stopping me.

That's all for this blog. Until next time.

Love and Peace

5-year-old kid leaves Big B astonished; see why

Mumbai (Maharashtra) , July 20 (AF): Actor Amitabh Bachchan shares a lot of interesting stories in his personal blog. He narrates honest encounters, fun interactions and life lessons on his blogs and his fans eagerly wait for his writings.In his recent blog, he shared how a five-year-old kid once left him speechless. On his blog, Bachchan shared that he was once shooting for an ad campaign and a child approached him, asking him about his age. And the child's response after hearing his age was "why are you working? You should be at home chilling", leaving Bachchan astonished.Big B wrote, "Work calls and gives impetus to the creative nerves all about, seeking where the effort needs to be pulled out of .. and one discovers to one's horror that there really is no such gadgetry at all within the system ..cope with it buddy or give the life up .. ! I was at work for the RBI campaign and in the scene was a little kid about 5 or 6 years of age .. in the middle of a rehearsal he turned to me and said ..'excuse me, how old are you ?' I said '80' ! he snapped back ' Oh! so why are you working? My grandparents are sitting at home and chilling .. you should do that also ..!!"He further wrote, "I did not have a reply for him .. Primarily because I was astonished at the precocious veracity of this 5 yr old! And secondly, I did not have an answer! So bid him goodbye at the end of the shoot, took a picture with him and gave him an autograph, instigated by his mother, and left... The conversation remained with me, as do many matters in this digitally informative encyclopaedic world, and found its placing today .. this morning .. of retired work .. and screamed and waved and applauded the mountainous presence of the live audience at 'YKW'."Well, on the work front, Big B will soon be returning as the host of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. On Tuesday, he shared a hilarious picture of himself in a pyjama on the sets of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'.As far as films are concerned, he will next be seen in Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra', which also stars Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Nagarjuna.

Privacy Concerns With Apple’s Digitalized Identification Feature

By Neena Patil, UC San Diego Class of 2024

September 28, 2021

Digital identification being used at the airport is only the first step in Apple’s journey to make it much more widespread. This widespread usage would most likely mean using a digital ID wherever a real one would be used. An example could include handing over a phone to a police officer when they pull you over. One’s iPhone contains a plethora of personal information, including credit cards, banking information, photographs, messages, and more. This could mean handing over all of this information with it. In most states, it is almost always illegal for law enforcement to search your phone without your consent or a warrant. They may only search your phone under rare, unusual circumstances. However, “anyone who [doesn’t] know the law could be pushed into handing over the phone, allowing access to everything from contacts to messages”. Police officers end up coaxing thousands of people a day to hand over their phone, framing it as “consent”, when it really isn’t - and when an officer has your phone, they could potentially install tracking software.

In addition, since this technology is relatively new, not everyone will know exactly how to use it right away, which can lead to unlocking and accidentally showing other information on the phone, or handing over a phone to an official, even though this would be infringing on the citizens’ fourth amendment right. As this technology expands, it is important that one’s personal information is not sacrificed for the sake of ease. In all of the situations in which this feature will be used, it is not exactly clear how serious Apple and state governments will be about maintaining one’s right to their phone.

One main concern about this new technology is its level of security. Digital IDs are not an entirely new idea, as they have been used on a smaller scale before, such as the use of IDEMA in Delaware, Oklahoma, and Arizona. However, Apple using this kind of technology on a much larger scale without specifically outlining how they will prevent various forms of digital fraud could be much more difficult than these smaller digital identification platforms. A general concern is if a hacker were to access one’s personal identification and information and use it for their personal gain. Although Apple uses complex encryptions to prevent malicious hackers, there is no completely hacker-proof solution.

Apple has also dealt with a lawsuit about using consumers’ information and giving it to third parties, which favored Apple’s side in the Wheaton v. Apple case in 2019. This ruling could potentially set the standard for the regulation of Apple and other large tech companies to be allowed to collect this kind of information; in the case of digital IDs, this could possibly lead to the collection and use of information on a state issued ID.

As the use of mobile identification expands, there is a greater chance that one’s personal information will be tracked by all the different places where they use it. This may not seem like a huge deal, but this means that authorities could have access to all the locations you go – and if digital identification begins to be used online – authorities could have access to all of the websites you visit. A report by the ACLU states, “if the police in your town have a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with your state’s DMV—and almost all of them do— that could give the police access to whatever the DMV can see. Where a DMV chooses to outsource its verification functions, that data might also flow to private contractors—companies that would have a constant incentive to make money off our personal information. DMVs themselves have long sold access to personal information as a revenue source”. For example, if a court has access to many of the places you go, they could use that evidence against you, when there is a gray area of if it is necessarily legal to have access to that information at any given time.

The personal information they could access has potential to “grow exponentially; if a digital identity system starts being used for online transactions, it could include every website you visit”. There are state laws that do protect a user’s digital privacy to an extent, but they vary from state to state and the federal government has yet to pass specific legislation on digital privacy. Only a few states, such as California, Virginia, Colorado, and New York, have passed legislation to protect consumers’ digital privacy. However, technology is evolving at a very fast rate, and these laws may not be enough to protect users. Apple operates and sells to consumers all over the United States and internationally, and considering these are laws only cover a few states, it is difficult to tell how this personal information will truly be protected.

what are your favorite books and poems (if you like poetry)? your favorite authors and poets? the list can be as short or as long as you want :)

ooh i'm always down to talk about books. and i wish i read more poetry!! but i'm afraid i don't really understand it much lol. like the whole thing where poets put "/" between words in a line... i don't get it! i thought that was the notation for a new line when quoting poetry! why don't you just make it a new line then? i don't get it!!

ok ok but that being said.. i really like some of kaveh akbar's poetry, as well as hieu minh nguyen's. "a poem in which every pronoun is fire" by timi sanni is one of my favourite poems; when i read it, i thought that was such a cool idea, i'd love to do something like that someday.

(obligatory mention that i have a tag where i talk about reading stuff!! it's pretty sparse atm, i'd been making to make another rec list haha, but can be found here.)

i don't think i have a favourite author...!! but i absolutely do have favourite books. (hold up.. how do i make lists on tumblr again..)

maharani by ruskin bond; neena is such a vibrant character! i love her, and i'm so thankful to the person who recced it to me haha.

hopeful monsters by hiromi goto; it's a collection of short stories! you can see some of my favourite lines in the aforementioned tag, the author has such an incredible mind in writing description.

slaughterhouse-five by kurt vonnegut; i'll be honest, i read this ages ago. but the way the book hops between timelines and "reality" and "not-reality" and makes you question what's actually going on and the repetition of certain phrases and whatnot... i think that's brilliant. i've a bunch of his other books sitting around, but i haven't gotten around to reading them lol.

women talking by miriam toews; i also read this a while ago, though more recent than slaughterhouse-five. about two years ago, now? i'll be honest, i don't remember the prose or anything being particularly noteworthy. but i think the concept was really interesting, and imo the book did a good job doing what it set out to do.

do not say we have nothing by madeleine thien; this was recommended to me by my english teacher, actually. frankly, i think it dragged in places, but the way the author wrote about music and how it was interwoven into the story was really cool, and something i'd like to take another look at someday to analyze. i'd love to be able to set up a uhh symbol (yes, let's call it that for now) that stretches throughout a story like that.

everyone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too by jomny sun; it's my blog quote! what can i say, it's really sweet!

how much of these hills is gold by c pam zhang; i wasn't particularly taken with the ending, but i think the beginning was super strong. and then it plays with timelines too (goes back into the past before going into the "future" wrt to the beginning), which is really effective, because you know what tragedy is going to happen, but not the specifics... ack.

i have a few others that i'm fond of, but i'll end on 8 with hungry daughters of starving mothers by alyssa wong; really, the story that got me wanting to read/write horror!

Neena the deesigner

Hello loves

I haven’t been posting for a while but that’s only because things got super hectic at school and I had to put the blog on hold and I would like to apologise for my absence. However, I do have something super exciting for you guys and her it goes.

I interviewed a fellow  3rd year student who’s studying fashion design and goes by the name Molemo, she’s absolutely amazing and her steeze is out of this world. I interviewed her because she’s showing her collection at the school’s fashion show towards the end of November and I just basically want everyone to share the experience and process of designing an entire collection. So do read up & I hope you enjoy.

Q: Tell me about yourself and your fashion design background.

A: My artist name is actually Neena and I’ve been a designer for as long as I can remember, I come from a background of designers, my grandmother used to make clothing, my aunt teaches at a fashion school. My mother used to be in a rock band and the way I’m dressed now is inspired by her.

Q: Define what fashion means to you

A: Fashion to me is a lifestyle, it’s something that wakes you up at 2 am, it’s something that should be at the top of your head, you should immerse fashion and be fashion.

Q: What is it that excites you about designing?

A: Fashion is freedom, its freedom of expression, you can decide which avenue to take and it’s really vast

Q: What are your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to your career?

A: My strengths are creative design, like birthing a concepts and coming up with ideas. My weaknesses are creating an actual garment, as an artist it’s a challenge to thrown into ocean being told to do this and that and it’s up to you, no one is the same I can’t be creative and be good with working with my hands but I’m working on it

Q: What makes you different from all the other designers out there?

A: I think what makes me different is that I separate myself from my work. I see myself as an artwork; my work and who I am physically are two different things.

Q: Do you have a muse? What inspires you when designing?

A: I’m a person that meditates, so in the morning when I meditate automatically I draw inspiration from anything, it could be an insect walking up a wall, and I can draw inspiration just from that.

Q: Who is your favourite designer?

A: Uhm I don’t have one, I don’t look up to anyone.

Q: How do you keep up with the happenings of fashion?

A: WGSN, it’s a major key to all my inspirations.

Q: Any advice for anyone who wants to go into the fashion industry?

A: I’d say research and make sure that you want to do this because it’s not child’s play. It’s so easy to give up because there’s a lot that goes into making a garment. Just be certain it’s what you want

I will upload a video later of the interview with full questions, I just wanted you guys to gain insight on who she is and what she’s about with this article.

I hope you enjoyed reading that loves. See ya’ll on the next post.

(I sourced the images from her Instagram page)

“Pancharishta” not a Generic word

Emami Ltd. filed a case for protecting the mark “Zandu Pancharishta” and “Pancharishta” before the Delhi High Court against Shree Baidyaraj Ayurved Bhawan Pvt. Ltd. The product “Zandu Pancharishta‟ was launched in the year 1968 by Zandu Pharmaceutical Works Ltd. The term “Pancharishta” is stated to have been coined by the Plaintiff and is claimed to be an inherently distinctive trademark. On 13th April 2019, the plaintiff came to know about the defendant's product under the name “Pancharishta” used along with the house-mark “Baidyaraj”. The plaintiff prayed for a permanent injunction to restrain infringement of its registered trademark, passing off and other reliefs.

The issue here is whether the word “Pancharishta” is either a descriptive or a generic mark and whether there can be any monopoly associated with the same.  The burden of proof is difficult for the person claiming distinctness in favour of a generic or descriptive mark.

The defendant explained that the word “Pancharishta” is based on traditional ayurvedic texts.   “Arishta” has been described as a drug which is prepared using water and boiling the same is scripted in Sarngadhara-Samhita, published from Varanasi. The defendant claimed that as “Arishta” is an ayurvedic preparation, so no monopoly can be claimed or granted in respect of the same.

Baidyaraj pointed the usages of the contested mark such as Planet‟s Pancharishta and Gwapha Pancharishta and claimed that as the impugned mark is generic. The plaintiff admitted that the word belongs to Aristha but denied to admit the contested mark as generic and common.

Emami showed the results of Search engines which presented the product of the plaintiff and not the resource of Aristha after typing Pancharishta. Further, the plaintiff claimed that the mark “Pancharishta‟ is a unique combination of the number '5’ in Devanagari/Hindi language, combined with the word Arishta and not existed prior to the Plaintiff‟s usage.

Plaintiff has relied upon the affidavit of an ayurvedic expert, Dr Neena Sharma, which showed that the word “Pancharishta” a combination of panch and arishta, is not found in any ayurvedic text. The expert has stated that “Pancharishta” is a proprietary medicine the Research Team of Emami has combined five different Arishtas to make this formulation. There are several advertisements of Zandu Pancharistha featured various brand ambassadors and other ayurvedic doctors.

The Court acknowledged the fact that the mark of the defendant will confuse the public with the plaintiff. It was held the plaintiff is entitled to an injunction restraining the defendant from using the word “Pancharishta‟ as a trademark for medicinal preparations.  The Defendant would be at liberty to use the word Arishta in a manner so as to not result in the violation of the Plaintiff‟s statutory and common law rights. Further, the Delhi High Court accepted that “Pancharistha” is not a generic word and it is first coined by the plaintiff.
