O M I T T H I S P A G E

Jaydev Chandarana 2005 (Vadodara)



Omit static 'cause the world is moving
'cause static is boring, and only reels are trending
'cause honestly, I'm a very visual person
'cause what even do you see in that bland pic?

Omit videos and reels 'cause the world is bigger than that
'cause videos are the past, and only long form is captivating
'cuz tbh, i h8 short stuff

And yeah then everything else just fell into place.
