My Aunties use this phrase way too much when they refer to me.I tend to argue a lot with people, including aunties and Im stubborn and uh I try to do things my way most of the time (who doesnt) -apparently this is the reason.Usually when they talk about my future in laws, hamesha its “Aye Allah iss larki ka kia bunNe gha.” I mean yes its true that the in laws arent exactly like my own parents, but they cant be all that bad.
Anytime they catch me ridiculing some silly desi norm, they get upset and worry about what will happen to me once Im married off into some other family.Is it just me or do most parents use this phrase with their daughters? And why cant they ever stop!! Pehle he itna daRa deteh haiN, bahd maiN pata naheN kia hogha.
Did I mention you’re my fav guppan? Seriously! You give my confidence a boost.Well Sahar, sometimes I wonder why my aunties use this phrase so much.Maybe they think my parents spoil me too much.
maddy—You will go to Pakistan and marry a girl there who has never seen your feet.Then when she does, app ko bohut burah khaal bunNe gha.:o
On a serious note, how come nobody says anything like this to the guys?
the thing is i’ve always heard aunties complaining about how much work others make them do, or if guests come unannounced and how they have to do all these little things to be the perfect host.
and i was like, i wouldn’t do that. i’d welcome them to the house of course. but i wouldn’t go out of my way to please them just to talk badly and complain behind their backs. i think that would make the guests feel even worse.
but of course that comment shocked the aunties. whatever, i think for something like that, i was right. sometimes i’m rude, i know, and i try to stop myself. but it frustrates me more when elders act like children and i feel the need to let them know. especially when they are being ignorant or bigoted.
Because guys aren't expected to fit into so tight a personality mould.

They should be.
Sahar--- Thats exactly what Im talking about! Or if you get angry and say something or do something, they'll be like 'you better lose that attitude before you get married.' Ughhh.They should just take our brains out and do something to make us meek little house maids.
^ That's why I said they're jealous. I don't think it's true of all of them. But for the ones that have sacrificed themselves all their lives, and never stood up for themselves, it's scary to see another woman do it. And some resent it.

Come on, give these aunties a break. They have no life and they need something to talk about. Think of it as charity! :D

Its sometimes very hard to ignore what these aunties say.sigh.
Sahar-- You're right.But you know they always think they're right, and we're wrong.And if we do try to convince them to see things our way ,they say we have no respect for elders.
Maddy---In your dreams.MaiN to hubby ko joothe bhi marunghi.:o
