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

Holiday
It’s been a fulfilling couple of weeks as a father. Every jump and every cry, every leap I was there to catch. Every day was a milestone and every day a new something. Every stolen word you knew where it came from because you were there all along. Every tantrum you could decode w...
