One of my friend is out of country and his daughter is graduating from a very prestigious university.
His mother wants me to attend the graduation ceremony on his behalf. I am not very close to the family or the girl who is graduating. His father and I have been friends for decades and are very close friends though.
I need to know if the girl will like this gesture or she will feel weird ? I do not want to ask her , she might say yes because she might feel social pressure being a nice desi girl and an obedient daughter.
Free chaye paani I meant And yeah, bring her a gift, I’m sure she knows how close you are to her dad, why would she feel weird unless you’re a pervy uncle which I’m sure you’re not.
**i believe the father should have worked around the dates of his visit to a foreign land because his daughter's graduation is an important occasion in her life. that's how i feel!
it's ur friend's wife's responsibility to make sure ur presence will not in any way upset her daughter or make her feel uncomfortable. i'm sure she would have talked to her daughter about you and she must have given her mother a OK to invite you. i see no harm! :)**
She is engaged to be married this summer too , she and her fiance are graduating at the same time. Her in laws to be might be coming , so her mother might want me to go to welcome her FIL may be. I think I should call and sort it out.
I would feel weird...........but if she doesn't have anyone else from her family I think it would be nice for you to go. Graduations are family events, everyone is with their family, it would be nice for her to have someone............but then again you don't really know her
I thought that it would be weird as the majority is saying here. I will excuse myself.I think my presence will make that poor little girl uncomfortable , I am sure she will feel weird too.
If it was her nikah it would be good gesture to be there instead of her dad. If I was her favorite uncle and adviser in life than it might have been OK. Right ?
its weird as hell cuz girls father is alive and you are not even their close relative. dont mind it but her in-laws will make weird khichree between u and aunty jee.
ps. excuse em but do invite her and her mother on tea and congratulate her along with your wife, with some graduation gift.
Oh wait, you’re married, right? Then what’s the issue? Jayen, free khana mille ga.
