During my childhood, getting invited to the neighbourhood kids’ birthday parties was my biggest flex. Because those were the only occasions when I could dress up pretty and eat chips, cake, and soft drinks because my mom wouldn’t allow any at home.
So when I came across this picture, I started having innumerable flashbacks of my childhood. This, my friend, is the quintessential meal of every kids’ birthday party ever!
When one Twitter user posted the picture online and asked other desi people if they were having flashbacks, they did not hold back.

Many shared memories of attending parties in their neighbourhood or at school and having similar meals served to them. While some added more typical items to the meal, others shared hilarious memories! Have a look:
I USED TO HATE WHEN CREAM USED TO STICK ON MY SAMOSA OR CHIPS 😭

Idk why I dipped my chips in the whipped cream, it tasted so good

Excuse me why isnt your chips soggy from touching the cream and the samosa half sweet from being smothered by the cake?? This is inaccurate representation of our painful childhood culture pic.twitter.com/9Fl9vcEySj
