10 Indian Childhood Memories Guaranteed To Bring Back The Smell Of Mom's Curry

In This Article:

Sit back, relax, and let the curry powder smell take you away...

1. Setting off their first firework at the tender age of 7

And then running for dear life as soon as it lights

2. The constant comparison between any other Indian child who BREATHES

You're right mom. I should have won the Spelling Bee. I'm sorry you were left with such a miserable child.

3. Having to pretend you like an Aunty’s food while your parents break down your back

Hey, she's nice. Her food... not so much.

4. Having to pretend to remember that Aunty because she expects to even though you last spoke when you were 3

Yeah, sure I remember you. Now please stop pinching my cheeks.

5. Relatives actually looking to set you up with other “Good Indian” potential spouses, because what is the purpose of life without marriage and medicine?

Hard. Pass. But I will help myself to more food.

6. Hearing the crazy stories of your parents tying fireworks to their cow’s tails

LOOK INTO ITS EYES. IT DOES NOT DESERVE THIS FATE.

7. Bringing your friend of another race over and being inquired about the ‘curry smell’

And the smell following you into you're clothes, bags, and everything in between.

8. Dreading the day you had to bring grades home.

None of your white friends could relate

9. Your parents swearing that vapor rub will fix your rash,fever, and stress

They put that on everything

10. Iconic brown people parties, that blows the American Red Cup party way out of the water

First drink, spin the bottle, we invented the party game, son

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
