Desi Mom Dialogs 

When I was a kid I heard my mother say things like “Ankhein hain ya button, samne rakhi cheez nazar nahi ati” and I promised myself I would never repeat them when I grew up. However, now that I’m a mom I see myself repeat some of those typical desi mom dialogs in moments of complete frustration! Turns out I’m not the only one. When I posed the question on facebook, I got a hilarious list of comments. Here are all of them! Which ones do you use on your children?

  1. Yesterday I was watching darss on islamic teaching to kids while these little men started shouting. I said,”kya mera dimagh khaa rukha hai”. My little 3 yr said to 5 yrs, what mummy saying..have we eaten her head ??
    That made me laugh and stopped me what I was watching and we giggled altogether.

    1. Hahaha! That’s so cute! Thanks for sharing and commenting! Keep dropping by 🙂

  2. My mom during summer vacations used to say in Punjabi
    “Uth ja… Sari dehari manjay trorrdi (breaking bed) rehndi aey”

  3. When kids are not listening or not eating food a dialogue used to come to us and now I use it too? ” Mei 5 tak count Karon gi jaldi karo warna buhat bura Ho ga” and than the counting never used to reach 5 n we n my kids now used to act upon the instructions given ??

  4. I am tooooo… scared to share this on Facebook publicly as both my parents are on my account ;). I bet my mom will read it and immediately whatsapp to the family group: ‘Kya Khabees Aulad hai! Saab kuch kiya aur yeh bataein kartae hain’ 😉 .lol!

  5. Ahahaha!!! It had my laughing so badly ???
    It’s all that and alot more and now as a mom I have started to do the same ???

  6. My mom always says in a blackmailing tone trying to make me feel guilty “Jis din ham nahi honge na us din hamari baatein yaad aayengi” ?

  7. “Achi tarhan roo lo, jub thak jao to bata dena” This line can also goes to every boy in the college who ‘cry river’ to get on your softer side 🙂
