Haha!
She used to, not so much anymore...but I don't think the mentality has ever left her. Even though, she's spent more of her life in England, than India...she still thinks like a backwards old Indian woman. I don't blame her really, I mean it's all she's ever known and all she's ever taught to be but sometimes I just want to shake her and say, get with the times! It really frustrates me at how out of touch she is.
My brother gets away with murder and she still thinks that he would never put a foot wrong. Like I can tell from the minute he walks in the door that he's been up to no good (he's a really bad liar) but she just pretends that he's been playing on the swings in the park with his friends, talking about maths revision! She needs to wake up and smell the coffee!
Yesterday, she said that she bumped into one of her old work friends and this woman said that she was looking for a girl for her son and that because he's a vegetarian and I am too, we'd be the perfect match. This dude is also quite religious and he's been sort of baptised into Sikhism (the Amrit thingy, if you know what I mean). What on earth makes her think that I would ever be with someone like that! I haven't been to the temple in years! No doubt, he's looking for a girl to cook his dinner and wash his clothes! Argh, do I look like some sort of naive Indian girl who's going to be oppressed for the rest of her life!!
Sorry, but that just made me so mad. And then she was saying, that if he can hold out for 2 years, once I've finished my degree we can sort out the wedding!
God, if she likes him so much, why doesn't she marry him.
Sorry, just need to get that off my chest. I'll shut up now.
