#indian dal

As an immigrant child, your new fic had resonated with me. It made me tear up eating dinner with my family.

When Saffron said, “This selfish desperation to know that I haven’t lost my connection to my home." It instantly took me back to being constantly teased by my friends for not being 'in tuned' with my culture like how they were, or how I desperately tried speaking in my native tongue with my parents, despite having a very clear american accent and them constantly assuring me that speaking in english is fine. My grandmother had passed earlier this year, she was the grandparent that I knew the least. I started asking about her from her sisters as my mother isn't in the state to answer anything, I've tried so hard to pick up the pieces of what her sisters have told me to construct an image of her personality. She used to constantly ask me to call her so when I read about Saffron talking about how video calls have were never the same and never enough, it hit me like a load of bricks.

Your fanfiction is so tremendously beautiful in describing the feelings I have felt all my life. How I know that where I am right now isnt home, but my actual home has been so unfamiliar after my grandmothers passing. I have constantly felt like I have disappointed her, so when Sunset confessed to the same thing, I couldn't hold my emotions in anymore. The ending with Saffron talking about how she would be waiting for Sunset to come home if she was her mother made hope that was true with me and my grandmother, if I were to ever reunite with her again when I pass away myself.

Thank you so much for writing this story. It was the most comfortable yet intense stories I have ever had the blessing to read. I am sorry for rambling and I hope this entire message makes some sort of sense? I hope whatever you're dealing with gets solved to the way you have hoped it would.

You have also made me see dal in a new light, it was never a food that I used to like, but I am willing to give it another shot lol

i looked at this ask earlier and had to take some time to process how to respond to this. i think tho i still dont really know how to, so i hope thats ok!

first of all, thank you so much for being comfortable enough to tell me ur story. it really means a lot that you would open up to me, a stranger, and the fact that you did so bc something i made had an impact on u quite actually moved me to tears. im a bit of a soggy mess rn lol. thank you again, truly.

second, i want to express my empathy for you and your situation with your grandmother. my grandad passed away before i could graduate, and it was during the height of lockdowns, so i hadnt seen him in a while. i didnt go to visit him in the hospital, so theres always this feeling of "what if i had called more? what if i had tried harder to visit? what if i spent more time with him?" that doesnt really go away. and, as a kid of 2 immigrant families, i can also really empathize with feeling a disconnect from your culture--when ur not surrounded by ur parents culture but u also visibly dont look like ur "from" the one u were raised in, it can feel really alienating, even though you havent done anything except just. exist in this sort of inbetween?

all of this i guess is to say that, i put a lot of my own experiences into this fic. and it's almost relieving in a way to know that u saw what i put there, and that this experience is something that other people have felt as well. thank you so very much again for reading ;v;

CONGRATU-FUCKING-LATIONS

regardless of how well you did (which sounds like you did tremendously because you are a smarty-pants-mcgee)

YOU FUCKING DID IT

pass or not YOU TRIED

you worked your ASS off and accomplished something AMAZING

get some rest and relax your brain and body however it needs to

but dont forget to CELEBRATE what you fucking did!!! what you are capable of!!!!

treat yourself to something!!!

yes a good rest is a treat in and of itself

but make yourself a tasty bevvie, some extra delicious instant mashed potatoes, watch something that brings you joy, look at cute frogs and other animals online, or anything really that simply allows you to acknowledge what you accomplished and that you deserve something that will uplift your spirits even more!

so proud of you for working so hard!!

for you i share some Ulex europaeus (gorse).

beautiful fucking brilliant yellow flowers!

highly invasive in the us and is a danger for fire because of the components within the plant.

also a bitch to work with because of how sharp the modified leaves (spines) are

BUT is incredible in its native spaces! (Europe and i believe Northern Africa). used medicinally, is a great nitrogen fixer in the soil so is great for reintroducing native plants, and can be utilized as an impenetrable shrub that can block your enemies from crossing into your land!

i think it is a really cool shrub, just like you!

anyways, have a GREAT fucking day!! 💐💐💐

Did some Indian food last night -- samosas (almost from scratch, used pre-made egg roll wrappers), Hariyali chicken, Masoor dal, and garlic naan. Overall, SUPER tasty, even if the chicken dried out a bit. Next time, I'll use thighs (or a yogurt marinade, or BOTH). Whole meal was so spicy it made the back of my head start sweating.

Also: I had never cooked with ghee before -- pretty sure this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

Outfits of the ‘Sangh Parivar’, particularly the Bajrang Dal, Hindu Jagarana Vedike, and ABVP, pushed communal hatred and divisive politics into the classrooms, thereby polarising the student community. In recent years, all these groups have brazenly announced that it is their broader project to erase the presence of Muslims from public spaces. They have done this through the Hinduization of education by purging educational institutions and curricula of the values of the Indian Constitution, such as democracy, civil liberties, and equality of opportunity, irrespective of religion, caste, and gender81. As the team has observed, this has especially affected communities of low-income and lower middle-class socio-economic background, who have benefited from increasing education and economic opportunities in recent years (especially in Dakshina Kannada). These opportunities have, at the same time, played a major role in the increased agency exercised by Muslim women with regard to their aspirations. Going further, these groups of the Sangh Parivar are determined to inculcate in a majority of students their own brand of ethno-cultural nationalism in the name of patriotism, Hindu tradition, and spiritualism. In the context of the anti-hijab campaign, their agenda has been two-fold: erasing Muslims from civic life and denying education to Muslim women.
