^I thought you were Punjabi too.
I think I said this in another post.....
My step-dad is Punjabi, but I have to say that he is my biological dad for reputation and societal purposes. Thus, the Indian community knows me as being "half-Punjabi." My mom and my true blood father are non-Punjabis.
So, I'm not really Punjabi. It's just a false identity used to protect our family's reputation. But, I'm not allowed to tell anybody that.
The internet is like a relief system for me.
I know it sounds f*cked up, but my parents are just way too paranoid about what aunties and uncles will think about them if they find out the truth. Desi parents want to maintain the perfect image of a model family.
I got to respect their wishes.....
