Why do my parents constantly put me in awkward situations with their acquaintances?
"Take some biscuits, Sandhya Ji, you didn't even eat anything." My mother intervenes in palpable silence.
Look at my parents, so jolly and talkative. Why did I turn socially anxious? Aditya would have roasted me for this.
Bas Bakwas kralo mujhse.
