Why is it that North Indians and South Indians seem to have the same accent in English despite their mother tongues being completely unrelated?

Not sure if it’s just my lack of experience/education with this topic, but it genuinely seems to me that speakers of Indo-Aryan languages in the north of India and speakers of Dravidian languages in the south have the same English accents. No clue as to why that is - do they happen to have similar phonologies despite obviously not being related? Or perhaps it has something to do with a sprachbund?

My dumbass got a crush on somebody whose name or whereabouts I don’t know

Ugh. Storytime.

I came back from a vacation abroad this morning. Around two or three days ago, I ordered my drink from a bartender who was so fucking cute I can’t stop thinking about him even now.

He kept smiling at me as I was ordering, not because he was mocking me, but because he was either trying to be nice or genuinely liked me (the former being far more plausible). His smile was so darn cute I was being driven mad.

Then, as he was putting a slice of pineapple on top of my glass, he smiled again and kept smiling. My retarded ass got flustered, I’m pretty sure I was blushing, as well smiling and covering my face.

Now I literally can not stop thinking about him, I’m aware it’s miserable but I’m obsessed.

What am I supposed to do? Send help ffs.

lutujem vyber strednej skoly, ale nic sa neda robit

Som v 9 rocniku a idem na celkom prestizne gymnazium, uz by som mala byt prijata. No zda sa mi ze tam idem len kvoli rodicom. Mam 2 starsich surodencov, obaja tiez chodili na ten isty gympel. Oco chce aby som bola doktorka, ale ja si neviem predstavit taky dojebany zivot. A ked poviem ze nie som studijny typ, tak to myslim naozaj. Z celeho srdca neznasam domace ulohy, ucenie sa ale obzvlast memorovanie. Fakt si nemyslim ze sa mi tam bude darit. Na ZS mam same jednotky bez domacej pripravy ale tam mozno budem mat 3ky az 4ky. Neviem co s tym mam robit, cele to strasne lutujem a netesim sa na september. Viem ze rodicia budu neoblomni, hlavne oco kebyze mu poviem tak na mna bude vrieskat. Chcem ist radsej na nejaku obchodnu akademiu, ale fakt mam pocit ze sa to neda kvoli nim. Bojim sa im to povedat, nechcem im povedat. Co mam s tym robit, ak sa daco vobec da?

Relapsed into binge eating after two days of staying clean. Fuck my chungus life. Sweetened matcha latte with biscuits because I am a performative GenZ individual.
