The Fort I Love… The Name I Can’t Bear

-

 Tbh... Mughal era’s always been my fav,nt for the rulers,but fr what they left behind. #Delhi still breathes through those timeless walls, domes, arches... and damn, Red Fort?🤍 It has my soul. No shame saying,my vibe kinda hovers around it. Grew up near d walled city,studied @ Presentation Convent,Red Fort was just there,like a silent giant I lowkey adored since day one. That majestic charm still lingers in my head like an old tune.

But... but... but,no matter all dat love, #Red Fort also drags in d name of Aurangzeb. The man who butchered his own blood, snatched d throne like a tyrant, n ruled Delhi wid an iron fist. That thought?? Enough to twist my admiration in2 sheer disgust. Hate to evn hear his name.

Architecture? Timeless...

Aurangzeb? Hell-bound...

No two ways about it.

Each day, my morning starts with it,sometimes in a glass, sometimes whirled into a smoothie wid strawberries,or whatever little joy I find in my fridge.That creamy blend? It’s more than breakfast. It’s comfort. It’s care. It’s a kind of memory stitched into taste. And somewhere in dat quiet, before d world wakes up properly,I think of Afghanistan.❤️ I wasn’t raised there,bt it runs in my veins, in my name, in d lullabies once hummed by women who waited at window.There’s this longing…nt loud, not tearful,bt consconstan A wish to walk d valleys of Bamyan one day.To see hw d sun climbs its mountains n hides behind them at dusk....To hear water giggle in its brooks, see d wind play wid wheat fields, feel d dust un...
