Mirza Ghalib's work is proof that an Indian person can be poignant and sorrowful, or even sarcastic and jaded.... Until you give them mangoes. Then they're happy, the cruel world can do its damndest.

aur jinse ho dil hamesha shaad
vo to hote hai aam-e Hyderabad
(and those that always please one’s heart
are the mangoes of Hyderabad.)
Eating Alphonso cubes topped with skyr and yep, it's all okay. I have it good.
@Theorem_Poem Liking this so hard.
Mangoes
@Theorem_Poem You've just reminded me that I need to go and get some honey mangos as we're currently in those two weeks of the year I can actually get hold of some.
