Disclaimer: i like playing devil’s advocate. I’m sorry if i offend any one, but most of the time i’m just trying to bring a new perspective to light.
Although I posted a reply in your other thread to this problem, I also wanted to mention that often times it is just the aunties trying to make small talk with you. Since you don’t like the question, you can respond politely with an ambiguous answer and move on. The problem with most desi women is, that their lives are terribly boring. They don’t work, and don’t have hobbies beyond watching desi dramas and gossip, and are highly un-talented in most things beyond cooking. I have found myself facing this issue many times when I converse with fellow desis. While they go on and on asking me about my work, studies, kids, daycare, etc I hardly have anything in return to ask them about because, frankly, they have realllly boring, non-productive lives. The only thing left then, to ask, is “what do you cook”, “which designer is that outfit” and “kids”. Although I haven’t had to actually ask the kids question because I can usually get by on a few dramas I am aware of, what else do you expect from a desi aunty who has absolutely nothing else in common with you (not even the dramas you watch). The poor lady is just trying to be nice and make small talk. If you saw the same people a few months after your wedding, and they hardly spoke to you beyond salaam, you would be very angry that they are ignoring you and are probably jealous of the awesome wedding you had etc.
