always taken aback by how incomprehensible the idea of hobbies and recreation is to desi people & especially elders. i've been crocheting a lot in the summer and anytime they see me working, they ask me why i even bother at all OR convince me to monetize my work
however chill or not chill I seem now, I was way way more strict as a kid. I was in kindergarten avoiding kids who said “libary” because I thought they were incurably stupid
really fun to get a masters degree, apply for 5 jobs, get rejected by 3 of them within a week, and now i get 10 spam phone calls a day because they sold my data
So my dad has been ending every phone call with "stay dangerous" instead of "goodbye" for like six months now. We all thought he was just being a weird dad. Turns out he's been mishearing the ending of a podcast he listens to. The host says "stay curious" but my dad is slightly deaf in one ear. He's been going around telling his coworkers, my grandmother, and apparently his DOCTOR to "stay dangerous" this entire time. My mom only found out because his doctor called to check if everything was okay at home. My dad has now decided he likes his version better and refuses to stop. Yesterday he told a nun to stay dangerous.
