    How often do you update this? I like it. Gosh how do I go about doing my own blog!!! I suck!

  2. I update it every now and then. Whenever I think of something, I put it down here.
    A blog is not so hard; if I can do it, trust me, anyone can.

    I’ve learned that kurta + jeans is oh so pimping and the best way to dress whatever day it is. the brownies think it’s normal the whiteys think it’s ethnic chic. I just need a better variety of colours

      Kurta + jeans is so, so gay. And only gay brown people think it’s normal.

      Apologies for the homophobia, I just couldn’t find any other word for such a combo in my limited vocab.
