Me, a 90s cricket baba unaware of the existence of Saim Ayub - "that's literally impossible"

[Hamza @wingsforus]

doing a deep dive into Babar's PSL career and wow, there's lot to be said.

not that he is underrated or smth, but Jawad Ahmed at his peak was producing some of the best Punjabi soft melodies. his songs range from tender to jolly to pining.

@kokopanmasala it is cos i always cringe when reading a first draft.

[Hamza @wingsforus]

so finally read this first draft i had been ignoring for so long and turns out i had created a good story in the first go???

[Hamza @wingsforus]

i didn't realize how badly my intelligence had been hit during long-term depression until i slowly got better and was able to do, read, write, create things that seemed impossible. those are years of my life i won't get back.

[Hamza @wingsforus]

look how far i've fallen :(

@purpleside24 me, when someone asks me why i know so much about medieval india 🤝

[Hamza @wingsforus]

[Hamza @wingsforus]

[Hamza @wingsforus]

these days i am often daydreaming about a series of courses i will one day teach. i am slowly building a course outline full of my fave works. what has life come to?

[Hamza @wingsforus]

this is what happens when you think of science fiction as a mere representation of 'science' and not as the mythology of modernity that it is.

"You can't thump sand, if you do this to sand [slams fist] nobody else is gonna hear it... they have the worm going straight fast, no that's not how physics work they gotta curl"

rolling a joint while a cat naps in my lap on a nice sunday evening. life is actually good.

[Hamza @wingsforus]

even worse i have these two twt mutuals who have been reply guys for literally every woman i know on twt for YEARS. at some point, it just became sad.

[Hamza @wingsforus]

i often think about The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee and how it is one of the greatest works of fiction I have ever read. so massively underrated.
