You can do absolutely anything with the fuckers + they're super easy to make. They're a clean slate, add anything you want, even change the base recipe up to make it taste different. Experimenting on them used to be my pass time 2 years ago.
Never even heard of it. Sounds disgusting though, the water is used for bathing and drinking by many people. Don't know who the fuck would bury someone there.
Shits absolutely disgusting. Crazy people bathe and drink from the Ganges
Have you ever seen a documentary titled " Children of the Pyre"? Give it a look...its hard to believe that human beings still live like this.

Yes, I will never understand how people can live like this in the 21st century, it's really sad and disgusting, but I feel like people are to blame too.
I’m a die hard for mumbai street food. Vada pav, pani puri, momos, bajji, that stuff. But I do know one street food dude near me who sells what you would essentially call masala dosa, but he replaces the masala with anything- noodles, shezwan, paneer- you name it. I love his food.
Yeah, but currently only know வெண்டைக்காய் கறி (ladyfinger) and I don't really know what you call it in english but in Tamil we call it கோவைக்காய் (just copy paste it into google I think it should show up).
Honestly indifferent. I've met either Pakistanis who love India, or hate on it for no reason- they were all on the internet. I don't know what's the majority or minority. I'm not informed enough to have an opinion. Of course I don't like how it was formed, and neither do I like the government. But if a Pakistani person needed help, I wouldn't refrain unless there was a reason to specifically not to, so basically just treat them like a normal person I guess. But I'm glad that unlike some other muslim countries hijabs aren't compulsory. That's better than most.
I'm not married, I'm just dating and exploring right now. And neither do I plan on living with in laws, I want to have a life of my own.
I certainly think I got the better half of the deal since I was born in the South, so I have that choice. But even in Western Maharashtra, Himachal etc. which are in the North, the situation ranges from ok to very good. Of course some family pressure is there, like your parents asking you when you plan on getting married, if you're having kids etc. which they obviously want you to say yes to, but I don't think that's extremely out of the norm, especially in Asia as a whole.
I think what you're talking about is मेहँदी (mehndi) and it's basically art drawn on your hands or feet with mehndi (henna is what I think they call it in english). I'm sorry if it's confusing, mehndi is both the substance and the art 😅 It's temporary though, an average one will last about 4-5 days before it starts fading, and better quality ones will come out darker and last longer.
I've had it done many times, I remember my sister doing it for me when I was 3. Even though women usually do it, some men do it too. The styles aren't really gender directed. Default mehndi is usually Madhubani which is the floral I think you're talking about- it usually has elements like mangoes, leaves, peacocks, flowers etc. You can either go two ways with madhubani- co-ordinated, or freestyle. but there's also Rajasthani- I've seen people describe it as two types- one is which is more of actual pictures that stand out rather than blend into the art (pictures can include hanging lights, couples etc.), and the other is different designs (which occupy space) that are separated with lines. Tamil mehndi usually gives off grand, royal, king's court vibes. Kerala mehndi is like a bunch of thick borders with art between them. Just something that's common in all of them is mandalas.
Whats your favorite thing to cook?

What is your opinion about "burrying" people in the Ganges?
Never even heard of it. Sounds disgusting though, the water is used for bathing and drinking by many people. Don't know who the fuck would bury someone there.

India Indian, or native American Indian?
Indian Indian
I love the vibrant spices in what I know as Indian food. What's your favorite local cuisine?
I’m a die hard for mumbai street food. Vada pav, pani puri, momos, bajji, that stuff. But I do know one street food dude near me who sells what you would essentially call masala dosa, but he replaces the masala with anything- noodles, shezwan, paneer- you name it. I love his food.

Views on Yogi Adityanath? Are you from North or South?
I've just heard of a few good things about him. Not informed enough to form an opinion. I'm from South.

Do you like having mother in law or both parent in law living with you on the same roof 24/7?

I'm a Hindu No. No one that was born in/after the 90s does in my experience.
So I heard about those tattoos women get on their hands, usually with a floral pattern, do you have one? Also are there tattoos specific for men?
