Growing up in a typical backdated Indian environment is so fun. Not only do we hear regular rants and out-of-the-blue comparisons but also we get to answer questions that are deeply related to our personal lives. And sometimes answering those and going off with a smile seems to be the ‘good kid’ behavior.
Down the list are some typical statements that women get to hear from their relatives. And we have some savage comebacks shut them up:
