17 Things No Desi Girl Will Tell You

    Our lives are like Bollywood movies… At least in our heads..

    1. Sometimes we wear a dupatta as a ghoongat and pretend it's our wedding day.

    2. We read the erotic parts of a romantic novel over and over again.

    3. Or straight up watch porn.

    4. No satisfaction is greater than pulling out an ingrown hair. The longer the better.

    5. We try to thread/tweeze our own faces when we're bored.

    6. We don't wash bras for days, even months.

    7. Every desi girl pretends she's the main lead in a bollywood movie, every time a sad song plays while she's travelling.

    8. We can spend hours trying to get our hair to look clean instead of taking a 20 minute shower to wash it.

    9. We don't ~always~ have a shower after the gym.

    10. We totally make up romantic dance sequences in our head whenever we have a crush.

    11. We have, at some point in our lives, worn a bed sheet as a sari.

    12. If a t-shirt got stuck on our head, we'd pretend it was our long, Rapunzel hair.

    13. We have, at least once, considered using the toilet jet spray to get a *cough* deep clean.

    14. Sometimes after a shower we dance like Kajol from DDLJ.

    15. We make plans immediately after getting waxed, so everyone can see our smooth legs.

    16. We used to tie up our t-shirts at the waist and pretend we were in an item song.

    17. We wore our necklaces/hairbands on our heads and pretended they were crowns so we could finally be the Indian princesses we were born to be.
