some love stories are really forever

This isn't my wrap-up post for the year, although I've been really, really meaning to -- but the family just watched Dilwale together hehe, and I just wanted to post this:

Honestly, the plot was so weak, it barely crawled. 

But if anything, this was a tribute to the Shak Rukh-Kajol pairing 

that has spanned more than 20 years; and that, I fully support.

Seriously, the both of them on-screen together is just so awesome, 

I'm starting to wonder which pairing in Bollywood could ever replace them! 

And juxtaposed against the young couple pairing in this movie 

only highlighted the amazing chemistry even more.

Not to mention that Kajol looks inexplicably gorgeous -- how on Earth.

2015 coming to a close soon, my friends. And yes, I owe a blog post.

my reflection post for the year is due, it being December! Subhanallah how this year has flown, and every year seems to be flying by faster.

Don't think I have the energy to give a full reflection piece yet, but maybe a quick wrap-up of the main events of the year -- like my brother getting married and therefore me gaining another sister. Sisters are always great to have! (:

Also, this year has record number of friends having babies!

Pigey being the most recent, and the most...

jarring? is that the word to describe the feeling?

I mean -- it doesn't feel that long ago 

when we were all kids ourselves and being thoroughly silly and immature.

How is it that one of us has a kid? Haha.

Also, this is just lovely and should be kept.

Tala'al badru 'alaina -- 

one of those songs my siblings and I learnt before we properly learnt to talk

and this makes very big fuzzy feelings in my heart.

after all the hate, seriously -- I cried like mad watching the Canadian PM giving his speeches.

Ya Rasulullah, please let your light shine in deserving hearts.

Amin.

Reminder to self:

submit.

I've been more and more in this very resigned state in recent times,

and what with all the horrors happening with respect to Muslims around the world.

It feels so exhausting, 

inside, outside, all of it.
