Growing up in desi households, we all know that no matter what, our life will always be as dramatic as our TV serials.
Our problems are truly one of a kind – we show up to a cousin’s wedding only to have a flock of aunties descend upon us to inquire about when we’re getting married, when we go to your relatives house we have to sit for hours and pretend to be interested in their ‘when I was your age‘ stories.
While we’ve all got problems, here are 11 desi problems that only a true desi can relate to:
1. If your TV remote control isn’t wrapped in plastic, are you even desi?
Why is this my family?! Remote controls must be plastic wrapped. #desiproblems pic.twitter.com/sH4e0VuJy4

2. Betaaa thand lag jayegii should be a part of our national pledge.
You know you’re desi when you see pictures or fashion bloggers in stylish winter gear with their jackets open and you want to give them a lecture on catching a cold #desiproblems #irrational

4. Desi parents, an enigma that even science can’t understand…
*You go out with your friends*
Your parents yell at you*You sit at home minding your own business*
Your parents yell at you“GOD, WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO!?”#desiproblems

Problems with desi parents, they care more about what neighbours and society thinks

6. So… Gupta ji said he saw you hanging out with Karan *reaches for chappals*

7. Your cousin just got married WHEN WILL YOU SETTLE DOWN
In desi households , a wedding invite sent to a house filled with single girls will make that house a hell for the next 2 months #desiproblems

9. Not gonna lie, Biryani is life.
I’m done with biryani.
When it’s there, it’s amazing and fulfilling and touches me where nothing else touches me.
And then it’s gone.
Gives you too much hope, only to take it away. #desiproblems
