FRIENDS.
Friends.
I have a BIG bisexual/sapphic/WLW theory about the "Kaliyon Ka Chaman" remix. It has made one too many women feel umm... new feelings growing up.
Since this is a theory, yes, I WILL be reaching unabashed. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
We all remember the dancing and stuff, but do you remember how the song begins and ends?
We see our leading lady, Meghna Naidu, reveal her face from under bed covers. She's sleeping next to a man — we only see his feet.
Meghna sneaks out through the window of the apartment.
She walks in the shadows and into a glowing room full of beautiful dancing women. She joins them in dance.
The song name translates to "A Garden of Flower Buds."
Flowers have long been associated with femininity, but in more cisnormative history, they have symbolized the vagina cross cultures.
The women begin seducing Meghna. At several points, they encircle her in an almost ritualistic fashion.
There is a LOT of titty-cupping throughout the video.
Meghna is dancing in front of a mirror, but her reflection is dancing to a different tune. Both are totally feeling themselves though.
Both Meghnas are confident and having fun.
This is most interesting to me: If you look closely, you'll see the silhouette of a woman dancing behind the curtained blue door in the back. We only ever see Meghna passing through this door.
Who is the shadowy figure? Is it the "other" her? Is it the Meghna in the closet?
The lyrics: When the spring of sexual maturity arrives, it feels like bees, feels like ecstasy, feels like being a boat in a thunderstorm. When monsoon comes, the (rain)drops make your heart go crazy.
INTERESTING. 🤔💦💦🌊🌊🌊
We got Cardi A over here.
Is there a straight explanation for this song?
I call home-of-sexual behavior.
There are no men in the song. No references to a man in the lyrics. No hints at a sapno ka raja. In fact, Meghna has walked AWAY from a man to do all this.
Who is she seducing in a room full of women...? This is all happening in secret, right?
It's pure queer awakening, luv
When her adventure comes to a close, Meghna walks back thru the blue door, returning to her apartment. She sneaks in bed — the man next to her still fast asleep — & goes back under the covers with a huge smile.
THE END.
