So I was scrolling through my FB timeline in the usual
mindless fashion and I came across this post one of my 'friends' copied. So, I
have no shame re-copying it and am in fact glad this exists.
Points to note that ALL Indians do/ believe in. I am
guilty of most of these, some as recent as today!
1. Every Indian bachelor wants to marry a fair girl.
2. When the doorbell rings, a male or kid goes to open
the door. But the female runs for her dupatta.
3. Picking up/dropping a relative (airport / railway
station) is an important family affair.
4. We thrive on street food and we don't get sick.
5. Every Indian mother has 2 careers - Working /
Housewife + Match Making.
6. We have all had secret boyfriends / girlfriends. We
don’t care about them cheating on us but we dread getting caught by each others
parents.
7. Indian girls have 3 type of brothers. Real brother,
Cousin brother, Rakhee brother.
8. The bride must cry at her Vidai. She has no business
looking happy.
9. We go on cleaning sprees only during Diwali or when
we have guests coming over.
10. However old we are, our parents need to know every
detail of our schedule. Daily. No excuses. No exemption.
11. When Indian parents buy tickets, every child
becomes under 12. Getting a half ticket is a huge victory!
12. If we live in another city and don't call our Mom
daily , she’ll freak out and call all our friends to make sure we are alive.
13. We get embarrassed in front of our parents even
when the word “sex” is written on a Form to specify gender.
14. No other nationality can beat Indians in
bargaining. “Chalo bhaiya . Na tera na mera. Itne paise theek hain.”
15. Doesn't matter if we are Convent educated. When we
are actually angry, we switch to highly effective, dirty, swear words in our
mother tongue.
16. We spend more time talking to guests at the door
when they are leaving than while sitting in the living room.
17. Why to change the remote batteries when you can
just slap the shit out of the remote and make it work?
18. Meeting a person with the same surname is like
finding a long lost twin
So true, innit? Again, this isn't my writing and
exists mainly due to the miracle of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V
P.S. If the original author reads this, let me know, I
will be happy to link it to your original piece.
