10 Things I Really Want To Tell My Parents, But I Can’t

I love my parents, much like everyone else, but sometimes they drive me insane, much like yours. They have some of the cutest notions, ridiculous ideas and weird advice, that do not make any sense in this century. But like a good sanskaari kid, you listen to them anyway.

But if I could, I would love to tell them a couple of things, which I would never have the balls to say!

1. I don’t think an MBA is useful for anyone without work ex, unless it’s to get a good ‘rishta‘

 

2. Your ideas of my sanskaar are directly proportional to the sharmaji’s son’s sanskaars

 

3. Mom, no one is a virgin anymore, because we don’t get married at like 21. So maybe ask me to practice safe sex rather than protect my ‘flower’.

 

4. Yeah mom, I do drink more than one beer. Infact I have been so drunk that I mistook a tree for a friend. More than once.

 

5. That stuff you saw someone mixing in a cigarette, yeah mom, that’s not mint. I lied.

 

6. The kamasutra copy you found on my laptop, that wasn’t a shady college project. It was my own personal project!

 

7. No, polka dots don’t look good on everyone or actually anyone above the age of 5.

 

8. The internet is not a ‘bad place’, it’s where I work!

 

9. Just because he has a job in America, does not mean he’s perfect for me to marry at 23!

 

10. I love you as much if not more than you love me, but I’m busy pretending to be cool, so I don’t say it often enough.

No matter how ridiculous they act sometimes, they’re everything we live for.
