13 Things You Will Completely Relate To If You Have Grown Up In A Punjabi Family.

A Punjabi household cannot and does not think beyond food. We live to eat. No exceptions. You also always find a Beiji (grandma) in whose eyes her puttar (son/grandson/generalisation for grandchildren) is perpetually malnourished and needs the entire society’s monthly supply of food and sweets to look healthy. We are so enthusiastic about everything that we talk and laugh in loudest possible pitch and we aren’t ashamed of it.

We are ready to dance on any party, men (now days ladies too) get drunk and give the best dance performances. But we know our limits too. It is always fun to be around even elders. Nowadays they are much modern than generation itself. We can discuss any hot topic of the town, girl/guy we like and they would humorously tell their story. We can never get bored in a punjabi household.

1. Your gender doesn’t matter. Your parents have only one name for you ‘Puttar’

2. We don’t eat to live. We live to eat
