I'll be marking off the books when I finish reading them/ I'll be adding more books when I find myself wanting to read them!

bollywood really invented love. i have proof.

Har ishq ka ek waqt hota hai, woh hamara waqt nahi tha, par iska yeh matlab nahi ki woh ishq nahi tha

Tumhari yeh hasi, yeh masti, yeh gaaliyan agar bandh ho gayi na toh is duniya ka bahut nuksaan hoga

Joh dil jeette hai woh kabhi haarte nahi

Har din uski zindagi ki dua maang leti hoon aur har din khud thodi marr leti hoon

Tu saath hokar bhi saath nahi hoti ab toh rahat mein bhi rahat nahi hoti

Yadhaash bhi kitni ajeeb cheez hoti hai, kis cheez ko poori zindagi bhoolne ki koshish karo, woh bhoolti nahi kabhi ek choti si cheez yaad karne ki koshish karo, toh yaad nahi aati

Baarishon mein bedhadak tere nachne se, baat baat pe bewajah tere roothne se, choti choti teri bachkani badmashiyon se, mohabbat karoonga main, jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan

Teri aankhon ki namkeen mastiyan, teri hasi ki beparwah gustakhiyan, teri zulfon ki lehrati angdaiyan, nahi bhoolunga main, jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan

Tera haath se haath chodna, tera saayon ka rukh modna, tera palat ke phir na dekhna, nahin maaf karoonga main, jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan

Tere jhoothe kasme vaadon se, tere jalte sulagte khwabon se, teri beraham duaon se, nafrat karoonga main, jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan

like??? wtf???? i hate love????

Ye baarish ki khanak, ye baadlon ke ishaare,

Yaad aate hai mujhe, bachpan ke nazaaare,

Woh khaali se raaste, woh bhigi zameen,

Woh chai pakodon se sham hoti kabhi namkin

Road par boat khel liye maze loot,

Raincoat ki aad mein, paani mein chapchapate mere gum-boots,

Woh request par milte butte,

Woh school se free ki chutti,

Ab na mile woh mausam na milti ajab Khushi waisi,

Ban gaye fasane baaton ke

Reh gaye kahin khayalon ke kinaare,

Ab wahi baarish hai, hai wahi asmaan,

Aur yaad phir aata hai kahin woh guzre baarish ka samaa

Haan woh baarish ka samaa........🦁

Mein financeee bf bhi hoon

Mein to hellooo kitty bf hoon

Mujse nai hogaa muje vapas baarish mein cricket khelnaa

Laadle tu hoga fyn shit hum to pokemon trainer hai

Tujhse kehna tha bohot kuch,

Lekin kaha nahi gaya.

Itne khat likhey teri yaad mei,

Lekin tujh tak pohchaya nahi gaya.

Ab vo saare khatt,

Mere dil ki almaari mei mehfooz hai.

K kisi na kisi din kahin tu mile,

Toh tujhe sunaenge,

Tere bin kya guzri,

sabb bataenge.

••••••••••••••••

Kaash tum kuch kehdete,

Izhaar naa sahi koi ishaara kardete.

Mere intezaar ki inteha hogayi,

Baatein adhoori rehgayi.

Kuch nahi toh koi khat likhtey,

Mera haal puchte,

Ya kuch apni sunaate.

Jab dil mei koi baat ho toh kehdena chaiye,

Waqt rehte hi apno ko mana lena chaiye.
