they should stop calling in daily life,
Nishu, If u come to pooja bedi age, you yourself wont like it.
Abroad, you cant call everybody aunt and uncle unless you they have given u the permission.
It become abusive, when you don't have the right to call a stranger or maybe an acquaintance.
firstly i will comment on that when i will be of that age & that will take many many yrs...
secondly i m talking abt india,in india u don't need permission i guess...
lastly we meet strangers in our daily life...i m in early 20's,if i meet a person who is in early 40's & i need to ask him something then i will call him excuse me uncle...
if the person u r calling uncle & aunt is only 5-6 ot 7-8 yrs older then u can't call them...but 15 yrs gap is enuff to call them uncle,it is not abusive,atleast not in india
