Thanks to my neighbors downstairs for bringing me some dinner up for me and mom. They know how we love freshly made Indian cuisine. And some folks in this country make fun of other nationalities is not cool. They don't understand some folks from others places can be nice.

im a picky eater but if you put a korma, rice and a naan in front of me? you bet your ass im getting in there with my fingers and ripping that naan to get as much korma and rice together and delicately dropping it into my mouth like it’s the last beautiful thing this earth has

Hey?!I crave telugu james potter but the world is not ready for it z so please please do telugu james potter hcs
AHHHHH you have no idea how happy i was to see this?? i was pleasantly surprised when i first saw that there was a popular hc in the fandom that james was indian?? its fun but sometimes its just very superficial - he celebrates diwali and throws in one or two hindi words, lol.
my hc:
Honestly the strongest point i have is that he is from telangana lol (warangal bidda if you will)
he listens to telugu music (only knows what his dad listens to tho). it was hard to connect to the telugu popculture (hogwarts doesnt have technology and he's in the U.K. anyway)
James would probably be a chiranjeevi fan (he was very campy and talented!) if he cared. He would crush on sridevi, it's just natural.
He didn't care for cultural festivals, and his parents are Christian, but he devoured Ugadi pachadi. (laddoos and kaja for Christmas?? anyone?? Sirius would be so fascinated with putharekulu and remus' sweet tooth would be happy with all the sweets-his fav is peda!)
I tried to be period friendly (even looked up media in the 70s lmao), but if it's just any era: James would be a hoe for 2000s films. probably loves okkadu if I'm being real.
his cousins in the mainland definitely gave him shit for his accent, and he doesn't care enough to code switch.
if he was a muggle in India, definitely would go to hps for school (very self-indulgent, lmao)
he uses dad and amma. (Nanna feels a little awkward, okay!!!)
saying "abbaaaaa" when things don't go his way, (any chance for an ABBA telugu pun shouldn't be left out, btw) and "cheeee" when disgusted.
he used to tease his parents for their 4 p.m. chai habits and call it unhealthy but would pick it up during the first war. just a reminder of normality in the chaos and would give a moment with loved ones. he finally understood why his parents always had their chai and biscuits out in the garden, at 4 p.m.
his mum would insist on oiling his hair (to somehow manage the messy mop on his head) during holidays. he'd fight back hard but give in when she threatened to do it with magic. (he'd be super relaxed cause of the massaging but will never admit). he misses that later and cries hard into lily's shoulder one day, when she casually rubs his scalp in a way it reminds him of his mother (and how she'd never oil his head now!)
feel free to add on (or dismiss anything you don't like hahahaha)

I made samosas!!! I have never had them so I don't know what they should taste like, but these are delicious 😋 😍 it's a burst of flavor in every bite!!!! I used Indian spices that I've never experienced. They are delightful and sooooooo good. I'm gonna be making samosas as a regular part of my diet. They're vegetarian flavor bombs!! I love them!!! ❤️ I need to make more now! 🤗😍 what a great way to eat potatoes 🥔 😋 mmmmmmmm ❤️ 😋

waaaaah my sister is annoying as hell. she keeps wanting to eat non-local cuisine which ok we don't have to eat Malaysian food all the time but I'm not gonna have butter chicken and room service every two meals. anyway i find this cute place right in front of the hotel and the menu is all in Malay so we have to google stuff but for some reason the entire responsibility for the process befalls on me?? like sorry i hadn't realized you left your skills to google some simple shit back at home?? she told me "i don't get it you have to order for me" oh hell no you're going to order for yourself and take responsibility for yourself I'm not your mom. also when she doesn't like the food suddenly it's my fault like we tried to go to a night market but it was raining so i could only get bomboloni before we dipped bc she had the most rancid energy and i was getting a migraine and then when we got back out she was like blablabla it's not even good etc etc. i should've stuffed her in the grab car and stayed at temonyong night market to have my satay skewers under the rain idgaf! anyway... next time I'm either travelling with my close friends or completely alone. tired to trying to have a good experience in a country with people who put zero energy into making traveling fun
