Desi parents are well known for their strictness, but they are the most innocent and simplest of people at heart. They say the cutest things about technology, and these are some of the reactions they have to different social apps:
They get angry about your eyes on your phone and not on the ground
For them Snapchat filters are absolutely haraam
When you apply different Snapchat filters to your face, you and your friends laugh your heads off but when you decide to show those same filters to your parents, they freak out seeing you as a dog, or a cow, even a monkey. You were expecting laughter and a high five, but you ended up with a lecture on how you’ll burn in hell for doing this to your face.
Me: Ami look at me, I’m a dog
Ami: Astaghfirullah, sakht gunnah hai shaklon ko bigaarna. Aisi hi ho jaye gi beta. Ye tarbiyat di thi mene? K apne aap ko kutta bana lo?
Face swaps are creepy, for them
Only flower crowns are approved.
Facebook is dangerous
Beta please Facebook use karna band kardou, kissi din koi kidnap karle ga
Me:
WhatsApp smiling at someone = You’re dating them
Me *send a message in friends group chat and smiles*
Parents be like: Ye jo itna muskura rahe ho, konsa haraami pan hai jo chupa rahe ho.
Smiling at your phone only means one thing to them: YOU’RE DATING!
They link your phone usage to your impending blindness
Aik din andhi ho jao gi itna phone use kar kar ke.
If you’re getting a late night call, it ALWAYS has to be from your girlfriend/boyfriend
Kiss maa se baat kar rahe ho itni late?
Phones are the cause of ALL of the world’s problems
Inn phones ne na sirf iss generation ko, balkay puri dunya ko tabah kardia hai.
They think putting up pictures of you dining with friends will lead to burri nazar
Bemaar hogaye ho, kaha tha na itna Facebook na use kia karo, nazar lag gai hai.
Check-ins and Snapchat is all about dikhaawa
Beta dikhaawa karna achi baat nahi, kyun jhootay check-ins lagaate ho.
Beta na lagao khaanay ki snapchat, koi bhooka bhi ho sakta hai.
Them sweet parents, they overthink and say the cutest things. What do your parents say about technology?
