Also, when you are in a heated argument with a parent or another elder, you don’t stare them back. And you shouldn’t raise your voice. There is a way to get your point across but it’s not through battameezi.

Forget about heated discussions, we were taught never to look at someone directly in the eyes - we were always supposed to have our gazes lowered. Aankhon mein aankhein daal ke baat karna was considered very forward, rude and disrespectful. This of course meant having to unlearn this Pakistani cultural habit when in the western educational and professional settings.
