What part of human anatomy (6 letters) traces root to Latin "stretch"? Funnily, this part is actually not very stretchy & gets hurt if stretched or strained too much. What part?
The root word, as I was doing my research, is the base for so many words in English!

I met someone on bumble who became a friend
He knew I wasn't doing well & knew I try to sight comets & fail
He tracked the ISS over days till it was visible above the horizon, called & guided me & we watched it pass across the sky on call
So yes, your paramour can text you back

What i miss the most about not being in a relationship or having a husband is someone to share food with when I try new cuisines. Portions are too big. Then I think i can do this with friends. So if anyone wants to try new food, you know who to ask. I offer good conversation too.

I graciously gave my mothership my bumble account to try her luck after too much needling about finding my worst half.
Adorable questions were asked
- why does this boy say I work at 'Your body'. What co. is that
- why does that boy say I live in 'Your mind'
- where is his shirt
My mother is at the absolute end of her rope trying to find a nice boy for me lmao. Earlier today she actually asked me "have you tried that bumble?" Oh my poor sweet summer child mother

Met him as I considered jumping into the Atlantic. He talked me out of it by using the fear of cold water. He attracted me using the thrill of poverty & we porked. The ship wrecked because the watchouts were watching us kiss. I din't let him share my float. He died.
I’m curious, how did everyone meet their partners?

Long thread, TLDR on the hot girls quote on the last tweet!
Undergrad
I'll start with being the only btech CS engg student in a class of 44.
CS senior batches all had 1 girl each, so the girls hostel density of seniors to turn to for fundaes was a dot, not a circle.
That GS discourse right when i wanted to reflect on being a girl in fin/tech starting out at work a decade ago but in campus 15 years ago. Back then, usually the only girl at the table at entry level.
I will write about it!
Ofc, experience is personal & should be treated as such

I've learnt like 10 new steps & haven't ever danced so freely before (& I dance at parties in general if I can but very subdued).

Rajnigandha! Have seen it before, can't resist Mumbai scenery. Boy & girl next door Amol Palekar, Vidya Sinha & love triangle.
1974 or 2024, well meaning, clueless boyfriend is a constant. Cosy watch, perfect on a Fri eve. Relatable tiffs & scenes! Wish i get the flowers too! 🌼

I read Mrcchakatika on a whim cause I follow someone with handle Vasantasena. A surprisingly engaging, comedic play! Written around the 5th century, it pokes fun at the caste system, subtle wordplay, flirting worth learning from, a classic triumph of good over evil story

_My_ city Bombay is like a senior citizen, very gentlemanly & charming like a warm hug from grandpa. Looks like Robert de Niro from 'the intern', Tom Hanks or Rajesh Khanna.
Not _my_ city, BLR is a middle-aged WhatsApp hate spewing rickshaw driver who says meter + 1000

On my way to a quiz, but what I really want to do on a fine Sunday afternoon is to walk around Koramangala admiring the beautiful flowering trees, stand under them in the wind to have the flowers fall on me - while I find out what Kage & Nari is all about.

This word, that has gained notoriety in bollywood, traces its root to ‘nephew’ in the middle ages in 17th century where priests would nominate their kin to important roles since they couldn’t have children. What word?

Integration of States by VP Menon is a difficult read of princely states accession to India. Fascinating snippets on the personality of rulers, contention in Hyd, J&K, Saurashtra, Travancore & philosophy of privy purse
Why did I read it? An exercise in discipline & focus.
Phew!
