Family trips
My 5 year old cousin brother called me handsome. Everybody knows kids don’t lie.
He called me fat also but lets ignore that.
I was wondering if I can get him to also call me a good SRE.
Dad called french fries as aloo ka dandi (its true) out of nowhere
Less utensils at home, bachelors house, mom asked if I want tea, I said very little
Mom gave me tea in a shot glass
Parents listened to a lot of desi hip hop and said ‘ye kaun ro raha hai’
We played some very old hindi songs too, and I said the same thing about them
Family trips are fun

Unequal Goodbyes
The rickshaw made him a little uncomfortable. During a similar journey, a few years ago, his rickshaw met with a terrible accident. He broke four ribs. The bones had healed. But the scars stayed. He could never sleep comfortably. His ribs hurt every night. But he had got used to ...
