There is at least one desi aunty (or more, if you’re blessed) in everyone’s life that has no other job than to make random judgements, silly personal comments and ask stupid questions about your personal life. Be it your neighbour aunty or that door ki rishtedar; these aunties show up unannounced and they just can’t mind their own damn business. Argh!
We hear you sister and we totally understand your plight. But it’s time to make a change! It’s time to be assertive. You don’t always have to hold back from handing back the same insults over! Remember these savage and sassy replies next time an annoying aunty pokes her nose in your business...
- So...when are you getting married?
- Why do you wear so much makeup?
- You are so tall/short/dusky/fair. How are you ever going to find a boy?
- You are always on the phone? Boyfriend, haan? Who’s he?
- You should learn how to cook. A girl belongs in the kitchen.
So...when are you getting married?

Next year aunty, 30th of Feb 2020, you are invited!
Why do you wear so much makeup?

Because if I didn’t I’d look just like you!
You are so tall/short/dusky/fair. How are you ever going to find a boy?

I don’t need to! He will find me
You are always on the phone? Boyfriend, haan? Who’s he?

Your son! Just kidding! I would never date that clown.
You should learn how to cook. A girl belongs in the kitchen.

So why aren’t you in yours right now instead of roaming here and there?
