Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

Whats the big deal as long as they are not going all gaga over each other? A light peck on the cheek, holding hands, hugging doesn't hurt anyone. I support PDA.
I like the Iranian society in this regard. Unlike here, where people suffer from
"Aap ki bhabi" syndrome (instead of introducing as my wife), I found couples, aged as well as young (crossing the streets, sitting in the gardens, shoppin in the bazaars) holding hands and showing affection towards the other.

"Aap ki bhabi" syndrome haha .. I like that.

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

Aap ke bhabhi syndrome symbolises the cultural mannerism that we carry with us. Guys talk to their parents and say "aap kee bahoo" about their wife. That is the "jhijhuk" we use to be so proud of and now its vanishing.

Now its only Meri biwi, mera shauhar and no one else matters

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

^ Me thinks "aap ki bahoo" is sorta filmy. I am assuming your mother still calls your dad by "Tariq ke Abba zara idhar to aana" :p

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

^^ No she says, Tariq apnay abba say kaho kay idher aa'ain ....:D

But on the serious side, when my wife was pregnant, I did tell my mother, aap dadi bannay walee haiN, not kay main baap bannay wala hooN

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

i can understand where you are coming from but my point wasn't to be cndescending towards certain cultural norms and nuances but to take a jibe at our collective conventional attitudes...

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

:omg:

That’s because “main baap banne wala hoon” sounds so freakin’ filmy. “Aap dadi banne wali hain” is sweet. “my wife is pregnant” in urdu sounds too besharam, so really, either one you mention would be okay compared to the urdu version of “my wife is pregnant”..

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

How would you say wife is pregnant in urdu?

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

  • No one knows?

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

I do it sometimes but its a small peck or a hug, but different places have different rules. In Pakistan even holding hands is looked down upon.

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

isn't it usually either "she's in the family way" or "she's expecting"?

what's wrong with saying "i'm pregnant! yay!" haha
its not besharam, its a state of being. and a bloody privileged one too! half the population of the world can't even go through that!

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

this is true... but men do it all the time! so why can't a guy and his wife?

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

LOL yeah true it's so gay.

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?

Re: Kissing in the Public, do you approve?
