Youth across the country are chasing after DIY lessons of patriotism or purity making life miserable for all.
Dear Pain Akka,
My teenage daughter Xiaomi is very fond of watching DIY videos on the phone. As a modern dad, I’m fine with that. The thing that’s bothering me – my whole family in fact – is that she applies what she sees. The other day I didn’t get my vest. Turns out he made a tube top by cutting off the shoulder straps and enlarging its holes. When my mom couldn’t find her dentures, we realized it had become a “pink candle stand with yellow tiles.” Xiaomi made a candle for the stand by melting my younger daughter Redmi’s crayons in the heart, which Xiaomi said will remove negative energy in the house. But there is no energy left in the house, negative or positive. When I pointed at it, it threw a tantrum and locked me out of favorite apps on my phone and I don’t know how to get them back. Since you read the minds of youth like no one does, please help me handle that.

Dear DIY,
The epidemic brought many diseases such as death, hospitalization and surprising lies, but the most severe suffering was of married people, who were locked up with all family members, including teenage children, who had a lot on their hands. had time. First you are getting married, second you are having children, third you are allowing them to flourish till they reach adolescence i.e. how to help you. Anyway please tell me can I borrow Xiaomi for a few days? My brother’s broken violin has been lying with me for years and maybe he can make it a study table.
To be honest I don’t understand what’s your problem with tube tops and candlestands. All households need such items and your daughter is just trying to help the family finances with some recycling. I mean, think of my neighbors Alka and Ashok. His son, who wants to become a policeman, decided to start his initial training by watching videos of police at home. Earlier he was directing the traffic in the colony. Next thing you know, he was beating the watchman, the milkman and all. Looks like part 2 of the tutorial began.
Youth across the country are chasing after DIY lessons of patriotism or purity making life miserable for all. In Mangaluru, two boys have their parents arrested for not standing for the entire duration of an Akshay Kumar film.
In neighboring Bengaluru, when a young man saw a video of Jagdish Bossdev posing in a bulldozer and chanting “the body is a machine that gets better with use”, he stole his mother’s jewelry to buy a JCB Which now stands in the garden in front of them. Be glad you still have a phone.
And what about baking and cooking videos? Open FB or Insta and the steady stream of food pics starts dripping like water from a Chennai Corporation tanker.
Cute Son / Daughter / Pet Poodle Baked Cupcake / Banana Bread / Brownie Today. Or made shrimp salad/pasta Genovese. Everyone’s child is an A1 chef, everything is basil, mint greens and cherry tomatoes, but go to their house for dinner means they will serve you veg biryani. Naturally, because all the money in the household has gone into buying fresh goat cheese for the budding Bourdain. Maybe you’re serving better food to guests because your daughter is only melting crayons, not kilos of Camembert fondue.
The only thing in your life I worry about is your mother’s dentures. Do you blow out the candle while she is eating? Or do you light it up and use it for crme brlée?
– Come
