Bollywood Music


Okay so this post may not make a lot of sense, but i feel like if you know hindi or urdu it will be so hilarious!
In all Bollywood movies it is mandatory to have at least three random dance sequences. They are always dramatic and pertain to something that is going on within the movie. Yet if you look at it from an outside point of view they are completely random and you dont really need a song to explain what is going on. Yet there are so many Bollywood songs, that they can be used in almost any situation at all.
Lets not forget the fact that the main characters must change in to a million different outfits an locations throughout the song!


This video incorporates famous Bollywood songs into "normal" conversation, but in a very dramatic and funny way. I'm sorry I cant translate the whole thing, the meaning will be lost, but i hope that you guys enjoy!

Desi Aunties


All right, so desi aunties....
We all know how they can be. Lets face it their main purpose in life is to make their child better than any other child community, and to gossip about everything any other person in the desi community might be doing. Basically desi aunties can talk nonstop about nonsense, I feel like sometimes they will even make things up that are ridiculously untrue. We've all grown up with desi aunties, we all know which ones to avoid and how to keep distance, but sometime or later you will end up on the topic list. Desi aunties just can’t control it. It’s in their system to gossip.... even when you are literally sitting two feet away and can hear everything they are saying. It’s like a disease; one I hope that I never inherit!
Check out this vid showing Desi Aunties in their natural habitat by another famous youtuber: Zaid Ali:

Memes!

Finally something we can relate to. My favorite pass time when im bored, or basically just in the mood for procrastinating....( i kno 'haraaammmm') lol but i like to flip through some pakistani memes so funny! heres a sample:
So ishq, it means love, or it could also mean party, in this case it is obviously the former meaning and its making fun of how in Bollywood movies all actors basically fall in love at first sight.

Hahaha and I find this one so Cute! Keeping it halal all the time ;) ;)

Alright so halal...this is a complicated word to explain. It basically means holy. Anything muslims eat must be halal, meaning non dirty and not containing any of the forbidden objects told in the holy Quran. relationships can also be considered halal is they do not go against the teaching of islam, which means no kissing/ touch etc. before marriage, an only to your husband! Sometimes these ideals can be taken to extremes and other times they are ignored but they will always be a part of the Islamic lifestyle.

Bargaining

Ever wonder if your parents are the only crazy ones for discounts. Don't worry, my parents will litterally drive for miles for a deal even though the cost in gas would cover the cost of buying at the local supermarket. Desi's will always look for discounts. You know how in the Middle East every price is negotiable, desi's somehow assume its the same way here in America too. They think that they negotiate set prices, and the sellers are like ...no...this price is non negotiable....but theyll still try to bargain. They think tat they are all experts of everything, like they can look at something and asses its price and try to negotiate the seller into bringing it down for them. this almost never works, but does that stop them from trying every single time...no. and these negotiations rent a matter of a few minutes, but long agonizing hours that basically take up all your time in one shop! Desi parents when will they learn?
Translation: aunty you should at least buy it now! You made me bargain this down at least 90% its basically free!

Life in a Brown Family


Check out this insanely funny video showing a typical day while being a guy in a Middle Eastern family.
This is fousey, he is one of my favorite youtubers and I follow his every video. He is hilarious because I and basically any real brown person can relate to some of the situations he mentions and I know that even looking at it from a different culture’s point of view, it can be hilarious. I think that he does a really awesome job with his videos, and he is a really well known person in the brown community worldwide for his awesome videos.
