22 Things All Desi BFFs Secretly Do Together

    Everybody will like the Instagram, but nobody will know how much effort goes into the lighting, hair, and makeup of the selfie session.

    1. Whining about unwanted bodily and facial hair together.

    2. Subsequently experimenting with DIY at-home hair removal methods. (And failing spectacularly.)

    3. Attempting to cook, shaming your khaandaan with how terrible you are, and ordering pizza instead.

    4. Long and elaborate selfie sessions.

    5. Having movie nights where you deliberately pick the most sappy flicks...

    6. And crying together like lunatics.

    7. Discussing your wedding decor and outfits and sangeet choreography in mortifying detail.

    8. Stalking your crushes – and your potential crushes, and your crushes' crushes, and your crushes' crushes' crushes – on Facebook together.

    9. Getting wasted beyond belief together and, of course, cleaning each other up when need be.

    10. Attempting to start drastic diets and workout regimes together.

    11. And failing spectacularly. Together.

    12. Getting dolled up together. #SanskaariSwag

    13. Traveling together.

    14. Bonding with each other's parents. (And regretting it when they're comfortable enough to scold you like your own.)

    15. Gossiping UNCONTROLLABLY.

    16. Coming up with so many inside jokes and nicknames that you're incomprehensible to everyone else.

    17. And laughing maniacally – until your stomachs hurt – at something that isn't funny to ANYBODY else.

    18. Raucously singing and shamelessly dancing in the middle of the night, sans any alcohol whatsoever.

    19. And having impromptu cuddle sessions that are short-lived and usually involuntary on one end.

    20. Keeping each other's most destructive secrets and most mortifying stories to yourself.

    21. Giving each other all manner of hell and getting in shouting matches because you're comfortable enough to do so.

    22. But secretly loving and needing one another more than you do your own families and pets and significant others...combined.
