And here’s WHY!
1. We love crying.
We cry when we are happy, we cry when we are sad, we cry while watching movies/serials, while chopping onions, at marriage ceremonies, funerals, while doing anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere…!
2. We go to our favorite Italian restaurant for dinner and then come back home to raid the fridge and satiate ourselves with tempting and stomach filling dal, rice and sabzi.
Because East or West, maa ke haath ka khaana or ghar ka khaana is the best!
3. For us, weddings are like “langars.”
Because when we attend one, we decide to taste EVERYTHING – including all the soups, starters, dishes, desserts. Even if it means gulping down 3 bottles of digestive drinks after coming home!
4. When we come back from an international trip, our entire ‘PIND’ comes to pick us up from the airport.
And they don’t forget to spin us around in joy at least thrice and give big “jhappis” and “pappis” before taking us home.
5. We call all our friends, relatives, relatives’ relatives and friends’ friends only from our office landline.
Because, what’s office for if not to save your personal phone bill!?
6. And when we go out for pizza; we NEVER EVER EVER forget to fill our bag with free ketchup and oregano sachets….!
Because the world is running out of these items and they’re for FREE! And “mummy ke kaam aayega!” or “we’ve paid for it in the cost of the pizza” are our excuses.
7. Our favorite topic of discussion – when will Salman Khan get married?
8. Doesn’t matter whether we’re upset or angry; these magical words can instantly lift up our moods - SALE / FREE / DISCOUNT!
9. We do not shy away from asking for extra dhaniya or green chilies and other free stuff even on making a 10 rupees purchase from the vegetable vendor!
10. Because our matrimonial ads read like this…
11. And, we have our own interpretation of the English language where we spell things the way we hear and speak them!
The English really should have learnt how to spell from us!
