Have you ever told someone your name, and for some godforsaken reason they crack a joke? You’re just like, ‘Yaar ye mera naam hai, dumbo’. Worse than this when you have to introduce yourself to the average white person, who ruin your name and baira gharak it.
This ‘Whats Your Name’ trend on from people who have had enough this nonsense:
