Just watched ‘Get Out’ and I loved it! 🎥 The movie mixes horror with important messages about race. The main character discovers some really scary things about his girlfriend’s family. If you like suspense thriller movies, highly recommend it! 👏 #GetOut #MustWatch.

This house reminds me of a Piyush Mishra song—डोलेंगे महकी हवा के हां झोंके
आँखों को छू लेंगे गर्दन भिगों के
आंगन में बिखरे पड़े होंगे पत्ते
सूखे से नाज़ुक से पीलें छिटक के
पावों को नंगा जो करके चलेंगे
चरपर की आवाज़ से वो बजेंगे
