What's new

Whatever

see it went over your head, it is not about visa, it is about behavior. even asked for bribe for visa lol
It's the law of supply and demand. There is so much demand for an Indian visa, that the embassy staff know that many would pay handsomely for one, so they take advantage of the demand to enrich themselves. It's corruption - but that's one area that BD can hardly claim the high ground, having been ranked number one for several years.

Your mom knows YOLO, you don’t know TBVH? - The Times of India

Time was when today's text-savvy 20-somethings were too cool for both their fuddy-duddy parents and untutored little cousins. Now, their parents have learnt as much text slang as they know, and they don't understand their cousins'!


Have you ever tried coaching your parents in technology or texting, only to leave it midway out of frustration? But you bailed and they learnt it anyway. Except they learnt it all wrong and now it comes back to bite you when you receive a text or mail from your mother with emoticons, emojis and acronyms you can't decipher.

Here are some instances of people who wish they had spent more time making their parents text-savvy, or that there was a universal ban on parents using technology.

When parents misuse acronyms: Claire and Phil Dunphy from the show Modern Family aren't just caricatures. When Claire leaves Facebook comments saying 'totes adorbs' or Phil texts WTF, as in Why The Face, do you find yourself thinking back to the time your parents did that?

Says 24-year-old Kiran* about her mother, "Every comment she leaves on Facebook sounds sarcastic, because she ends it with LOL, which she thinks means lots of love. She doesn't use the computer much, so I understand why she's confused, but I've tried telling her that it means 'laugh out loud' and she thinks I'm just confusing her. So she'll leave comments on profile pictures that say, 'looking great, LOL'":lol:

How tired are you of YOLO? We're guessing not as much as 21-year-old Saurabh* is. "Once my dad heard me say YOLO to a friend, and when he asked me what that meant, I told him 'you only live once', but I didn't explain its context, which is more like 'seize the day'. But my dad liked it so much that he started using it in his texts to me, but he uses it as a warning. So he would text me, 'I hope you didn't take off the helmet just after leaving the house. Remember, YOLO'," he says.:lol:

When parents use acronyms in conversations: Parineeti Chopra said LOL, not L-O-L, every time she found something funny in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl? It was funny in the film, but would it be funny if your mother were doing it?

W WORD EVERY DAY: "I can't keep up. I mean, I Tumblr, I Instagram, I Pinterest, I Facebook and I Twitter and I still don't know what half the words mean. Now, I have just stopped trying. I don't know what the full form of SWAG is, even though I use it liberally, because I think I know which context to use it in. Despite already talking on Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, and G-talk, my friends and I have now started communicating through Snapchat, because that's what kids are into," said 24-year-old Tanya, who works in finance.

"I was proud when I learnt that TBH meant 'to be honest'. I used it to show off in front of a friend who's more well-versed in internet slang than I am. Except that in the next sentence, she goes, 'TBVH', and to figure it out I had to Google it. Turns out, it means 'to be very honest'. That 'V' is a stumbling block for 'senior citizens' like me," said Akanksha, a 24-year-old designer.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE NOT COOL: When asked if she's ever tried to act cool by attempting internet-speak, Manasi, a 26-year-old lawyer, replies that she's smart and therefore "prefers not to speak in a language that sounds like what ET came up with in his sleep." "However, my younger cousin is incoherent on Facebook," she adds.

"I think using internet lingo comes with a certain shelf life, post which you tend to outgrow it," says Joey, 27, who works in the advertising industry, adding, "After a certain point, it's just a pain keeping up."

Recently, had to look up the word "bae". Realised it was already mainstream. Maybe it's time to start a retirement fund and seriously think about a housing loan. Before I walk down that road, here is a duckface selfie with a BFF. I know what those words mean. We used them when we were young," - Kim, a 26-year-old journalist, wrote on FB recently, giving voice to the 'one-third and quarter-life crises' being brought on single-handedly by social networking, with the lack of comprehension of new-age terms like IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), IRL (In Real Life) and YOLO (You Only Live Once) reducing 20-year-olds to virtual auntyjis and unclejis, *SMH* (Shaking My Head).

I AM JUST AS EMBARRASSING AS MY MOTHER: Just like that, none of us is LMFAO-ing at our parents' abysmal knowledge of internet-speak anymore.

Parent-child text confusion: Every time Akanksha*, 23, is out with her mother, she keeps hoping nothing will surprise her mom. "Like 'regular' mothers, my mom used to say 'hey bhagwan' when something surprised her, until she saw everyone around her use OMG in texts and on Facebook. Now, every time she wants to exclaim, she says 'OMG!' in front of everyone. It's embarrassing," she says.

When parents abbreviate everything in texts: Admit it - there was a time when you thought 'nyt out wid frnds... mah lyf rox!!!' wasn't just an acceptable status update on Orkut, you also thought it made you sound 'kewl'. You got over it, except your parents got into it. Now they pepper their texts with these surprisingly complex abbreviations and you have no idea what they're trying to say. Says Nidhi*, 19, "I'm sure every time my mother types a message, she first sits and thinks for five minutes about how to write it. She doesn't text me often, but when she does, I get texts like, 'gng 2 pck ur sstr frm skul, smdg wrng wd her stmch'. Sometimes I don't understand them, but she thinks this is the cool way to text, and I don't know to explain to her that it's so 2005!"

When parents use emojis just because they look cute: If Katy Perry can write a whole song in emojis, your parents can do whatever they want to with them. Sagar*, 23, regrets downloading emojis on his father's phone. "While going through the emojis, my dad saw that there was one for poop, and he asked me, 'Why would anyone need this?' We had a good laugh over it, and I thought that was that. But not for him. Now my dad sends me poop emojis every now and then. Once my phone was with my girlfriend when he sent it, and I'm not sure which one of us was more embarrassed," he says.

And then, there's 22-year-old Neha's* mom, who just loves the martini glass emoji. Says Neha, "My mother's in love with the martini glass. She thinks it's pretty, so she puts it at the end of random messages. When I tried explaining that emojis are used for communicating, not decorating, she doesn't listen. So my brother and I get messages saying, 'What do you want for dinner *martini glass emoji*'. And I want to ask her, 'Are you offering us martinis for dinner, mom?'"

Hey can anyone give me the name of the Hindi movie that was about farming

This guy who lives abroad comes for a shadi and falls in love with a farmer's sister---

Never mind found it:

Ramaiya Vastavaiya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Another one I liked was ek villain @SarthakGanguly
Never heard of that film!!! :D

Ek Villain was a very mediocre film. I have set high standards for myself. :P Most films - don't satisfy my criteria. :P

The best ones that come to my mind now are - Rang de Basanti, Swadesh and 1971*.

*You will be surprised if you see this.
