i just to discuss on this topic, thats all!

********so don't take me or this post negative way*********


Nothing to do with religion either...


Also,this is NOT dissing anyone's parents or anything like that.

Our parents care for us a lot,

BUT they just need to learn to CHILL a little!!!

thats all!!!


i know someone of u have read or heard this before somewhere else. or more likely this things happens in ur life..

haha cause for me most of this are true..!!!


You know YOU got DESI parents WHEN:

1. you can't go out without telling them where you are going and with whom and when you'll be back & who's driving

2. they call you 24/7 and if you don't pick up the phone, they'll leave you TONS of voice mails

3. if you are a girl and don't know how to cook, then you're going down the drain & no one will marry you

4. the only way your life will get better is if you get MARRIED

5. your mom is very nosy

6. your parents don't know what the word "privacy" means, it will NEVER exist in their dictionary

7. if you are a couple of minutes late coming home, they'll call you tons of times!

8. if you don't become a doctor, engineer, pharmacist then you're a failure

9. if you make anything less than an A then you are a failure as well

10. if you pick your own spouse, then you've committed a horrible mistake

11. parents care about what the society thinks more than your feelings

12. if you are a girl, you can't be yourself b/c some aunty is always on a look-out for a girl to become her son's wife

13. your friends have to be approved by your parents

14. when you hear that their experience has made them way way way more knowledgeable than you..."mujhe tum se zyaada pata hai!!!" everytime u do something wrong!

15. you spend too much money when you havent shopped for an entire month.

16. you spend way toooo much time with your friends (and the last time you saw them was at school...between classes)

17. anything you do...just isnt right...forget it...might as well go bury yourself

18. they think they have the best kids when you wear shalwar kameez to school (kids, dont try this...you will officially be labeled a FOB...good for parents, bad for society)

19. if you date/marry anyone outside the desi culture...you're going to hell

20. you are asked to eat something every half an hour. You may eat like a pig, yet they never seem to think u eat enough!

21. you get cussed more than u get told they love you

22. you learn that racism has a whole new meaning cuz they're racist against their own kind..."mein tu abne
betay ke liye gori bahu laon gi!"

23. when they automatically somehow magically know if you're talking to a girl on a phone.

24. dark skinned girls are pressured to put on 'fair and lovely' to get lighter!!

25. for girls: your parents start looking for "ache larke" when u r still in high school!

26. your parents want more than 100 %. and when you get 105 %, they STILL expect you to do better.

27. if ur a girl...guys and girls cant just be friends...ur not allowed to talk to guys

28. ur parents always wanted to buy ur clothes a larger size just so you could use it till you DIE

29. they have lil desi kids who cnt keep their trap shut who help the prnts let us not liv r life the way we want even more

30. u go to india they tie a rope around ur suitcase...

31. you make chai for you parents atleast 3 times a day!

is this your personal experience? 😉

don't pin point desi parents. this is common is other cultures too...particularly in asia.

what's wrong in making chia 3 times a day for people who care so much for you...from the time you were born?

The whole thing is blown out of proportion and made to look Indian parents like maniacs 😳 Wait till this same person becomes a parent. He/she will even kick it up a notch in this desi parenting dept 😉 😆 Than we will have a debate 😛 .

One thing to add even in my time 🤔 (hamare zamaneme) i did not make tea 3 times for my parents 😆
