Things to expect when marrying into a Punjabi family <https://undefined/neo/groups/worldmalayaliclub/info?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> .... [image: Punjabi family] *Getting married to a Punjabi? If you are not a Punjabi yourself, then get ready for a boatload of surprises. You will spend the rest of your life with, arguably, the happiest people on earth but with a few side effects. Just don’t bother to change them, because nothing done in the past has worked.* *Enjoy the ride and get used to these 16 things:-* 1. Everyone, almost everyone around you will talk loudly; get used to it. *Even if you are standing just inches away from people at home, they will still shout out to you, as if you were standing a few blocks away from them. * <https://undefined/neo/groups/worldmalayaliclub/info?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> [image: Shout] <https://undefined/neo/groups/worldmalayaliclub/info?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> 2. Almost every day, there is going to be some sort of drama. *The smallest things will trigger emotional outbursts. It may involve — you have been warned — crying and cursing, too. * [image: Emotional outburst] *Just hold your ground, count till 100 if you are scared or bored and let it pass. Punjabis get back to their good-natured selves very soon.* 3. Don’t forget to use the standard prefix “Ji” else you will be insulting everyone if you don’t do that. *No matter what you call your mom and dad, when married into a Punjabi family, mummy becomes ‘mummy ji’, Daddy become ‘daddy Ji’, your sister-in-law becomes ‘parjhai ji’ , and so on. * [image: Mummy Ji] 4. A Punjabi family is not big, it’s huge, and you’ve got to keep it like that. *Relatives are going to be there in every part of the country, and the world. You will have to please them, whether they come from Bhatinda, Ludhiana, Chandigarh or Canada. * <https://undefined/neo/groups/worldmalayaliclub/info?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> [image: Big family] <https://undefined/neo/groups/worldmalayaliclub/info?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> 5. *Kanneda* and *Amreeka* are scared places. Anyone who stays there is an important NRI relative. *They are addressed as Kanneda wali bua ji, Kanneda wale Chacha Ji, Kanneda wale Phofa ji, and you must give them special attention, care and time. * [image: Kanneda] 6. Breakfast means Paranthas. And if the temperature outside is soaring, there’s Lassi too. *Once married into a Punjabi family, forget about dieting. Firstly, they don’t like thin and lean people, and, secondly, they won’t let you go on a diet come what may.Don’t worry about variety. There’s aloo, gobhi, muli, daal, even egg ka parantha, which will always be served with a large dollop of butter and a glass of Lassi.* [image: Paranthas] 7. Don’t even think about saying “I don’t know how to dance”. *It’s the biggest offence to not be able to dance if you’re in a Punjabi family. They don’t expect you to be professional or poised, as far as you can shake your legs a bit (wildly) ….. * [image: Punjabi family] 8. Forget about saving, only think about giving.*Punjabis are the most generous people.* [image: Punjabis] *Being generous runs in the blood of Punjabis.* 9. Sometimes they show off a bit, but it’s all in good faith.*Latest jewellery, big cars, big house, lavish weddings, huge meals; they are going to show off in every aspect of life, wherever it is possible to do so.* [image: Punjabis] 10. Don’t mind, but most Punjabis can’t converse without abusing. [image: Punjabis] 11. Be ready for the family hug at every occasion. *No matter if it’s a birthday party, anniversary or wedding, it remains incomplete without a BIG family hug. * [image: Punjabis] 12. Nothing will ever compare to the warmth and love of Beeji. *Anything small or big, beeji (grandma) will always take your side and lend you unconditional support through thick and thin. * [image: Unconditional support] 13. B is always for butter chicken. [image: Punjabis] 14. All the despairs will be drowned in alcohol.*Ask for as much as you want.* [image: Alcohol] 15. You cannot wear plain clothes; it is below the prestige of the family.*And if you do, this is what you should expect from your mother-in-law.* [image: Punjabis] 16. And lastly, to qualify as a Punjabi bahu, you must know how to make perfectly round chapattis.*If not, nothing else can compensate it!* [image: Round chapattis] *NOTE : Clips from some famous movies have been added to prove the statement. Again no offence to the characters in the clips or to the film. Compiler* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
