Darn it! Why do I always show up late for these things? *looking around bug eyed*
What'd'I miss? What'd'I miss?

Okay, I just HAVE to pitch in.

1. Aah, the mothballs. Because the moths in hamara Hindustan, like the desis themselves are so very persistent and hard working, unlike the moths here in Amreeka who dont even put in an effort. Thus, the extra strong scented mothballs. Dichlorobenzene plus plus.
2. No, silly, we dont use them for regular wear. *gasp* Do you?! If so, stop. I know we desis inspire hygiene every where we go, but seriously there is a right way to do these things and a wrong way. And spritzing moth ball powder on your daily wear is the wrrrrong way.
3. Aaah, the tongue scraper. The secret to my minty fresh breath. *sticking my mouth in everyone's face* See here, smell. No smell. *sticking a random non-desi dude's mouth in everyone's face* Now see here. Smell. Eww. That's my point.
4. And no, just because we'all eat curry doesnt mean we'all smell like curry. I just know that's coming next. See here *sticking my armpits in everyone's face* Smell me. Smell that juicy fruity smell? And I didnt even eat any fruits today. See, no correlation.

Ohoho. Dont be shy, okay. Plis to ask more qweshuns. We clarify everything.

🤣

GT, I am so glad that curiosity got the better of me and I came to check why this thread had reached 5 pages considering the rather stuffy title! I almost dropped my laptop laughing! 😃

^LOL. Glad you both had a good laugh. 😃

Soory to be a total party pooper....but I HATE mothballs too!!!!

Quite apart from the fact they are harmful to children and especially anyone who has G6PD deficiency (which a lot of people from Africa and Asian subcontinent do)

they absolutely stink to high heaven!
In this day and age when there are so many other things to protect your clothes from damp/mildew/moth eating, as effective as they are is as antisocial and smelly mothballs are.

For me - they epitomise all that is desi, less so the garlic etc.

I hate them so will promote the cause to do away with them! 😆

Having said that - love the tonge scraper!!!!

buckets and buckets of ....

😡 M 😡
