small reminder; while struggling through computer-graphics homework & jumbled thoughts on thesis:


शायद कुछ चीज़ें मेरे लिए हमेशा मुश्किल रहेंगी,
मगर उनको छोड़ के भागूंगा नही।

perhaps some things will always be difficult for me,
but i’m not going to give up on them & run away.


i now see the merit in my stubbornness;
accept the relentlessness that everyone acknowledged except me;
and recognize how, perhaps, evident it is — the emptiness — and how gracefully the world will accept it; if you are merely transparent.

modified from shobhan’s email to me in 2025:

artists need to merely be relatable honest.

related: the thesis just needs to be honest.


written after rewatching 12th fail; and listening to this the morning after.
