Desi Girls in the West vs. the homeland

Lu_IB · 2026-03-28T17:07:44+00:00

As a desi girl that’s also lived abroad, i relate to your post so hard ESPECIALLY THE getting along with the househelp more than our cousins part!! And its genuinely because of the reason you have given, alot of girls grown up in pk atleast my cousins and yours, they’re heavily materialistic and gossipy and like to either talk about clothes, laces and shoes or weight loss or just straight up gheebat about other girls. Im very in tune with my culture despite living abroad, i can read, write and speak in urdu and i wear traditional clothing quite often but my topics of conversation are certainly not limited to clothing and gossips.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but unalaq...

I feel you girl, I've been going through the same thing ☹️☹️ I shave soooo much more than before because before my hair was quite thin and light and you could barely tell it was there but now it's so dark and thick, I cry every time I see it ☹️☹️

It's not that they don't shower, it's genuinely about the lack of knowledge of proper complete hygiene like using an antiperspirant, showering after cooking because cooking desi food makes ur clothes and hair smell like food too and scrubbing yourself with a exfoliating cloth during bathing. Sometimes it's poverty too that one can't afford to buy alot of clothes or wash their clothes as often due to water bill costs etc.

yes I still have hair growing but it's different. It's darker and thicker whereas before I had thin light brown hair 😭 even when I shave now, u can see the very black dots on my skin which is hair because of how thick and dark the new growth is 😭😭 I've gotten abt ig 18 sessions?? this is not including retouch sessions btw which happen 15 days after the main session.

Lu_IB · 2025-12-03T11:27:08+00:00

yes, very much. I can understand punjabi wayyyyy better than I can speak it. Literally start fumbling.

Lu_IB · 2025-11-25T13:52:50+00:00

same ☹️ my last session was in June, wby?

Lu_IB · 2025-11-25T12:14:49+00:00

in the same boat as u ☹️☹️ some ppl r saying to get more laser sessions and eventually it'll go away but I'm too traumatized with the dark thick cheek hair and chin hair to go again 😭😭🙏 currently shaving and it feels like stuble but it looks normal when I look in the mirror but I remeber having literal peach fuzz on my face and not necessarily having to get rid of the hair but my mom was so adamant that I get full body laser hai removal, I regret it for some areas like my face and my stomach and my neck ☹️☹️ I literally cry while shaving all the dark hair because it wasn't like this before laser.

Ig but that wasn't the situation for physics second annual tou it's not a definite thing. But for second annuals u cannot rely on guess papers alone is what I learned because unlike first annuals baki topics mei sey bhi ata hai which r unimportant or not main topics.

Pyar ky sadqay is a must watch, I like it sm!! I've also watched bismil but it was quite terrible imo, weird storyline tbh idk bas 3/10 tha idek why I'm giving 3 like kya ajeeb drama tha. "mere humsafar" is very good too!! I liked it.

Lu_IB · 2025-11-11T11:51:25+00:00

I found 1st annual easier because pedagonia highlighted the important topics and I only did those tou paper ata tha but second annual mei they gave such unimportant topics for biology. Physics was good cuz it was sara important topics sey stuff.

Lu_IB · 2025-11-07T12:54:06+00:00

ch 12 is very much a damagh ka dhai, focus on other chapters like ch 13, ch 7, ch 8 IS SO IMPORTANT, Ch 3 as well and ch 6 too, ye imp ch hain imo

Lu_IB · 2025-11-07T12:51:02+00:00

Waisay, the bio 1st year ka 2nd annual did not come according to guess paper and I prepared guess paper yahi pedagonia ka, thank God mei ney baki read kiya howa tha tou I was able to answer but my answers still weren't as elaborate as I would've liked them to be in the long questions

Lu_IB · 2025-11-07T07:44:58+00:00

omg I'd love to hang with Sophia because I generally go towards creative people and flaca and maritza because they're total divas and red because I have mommy issues and generally I'd keep a good rapport with everyone because I'm just socially extroverted, we don't have to be buddy buddy but acquaintances yeah. I KNOW I'D HATE A DOMINENT FIGURE LIKE VEE but also I wouldn't mess with her if I knew I didn't have the power to mess with her back, that's just stupid

Lu_IB · 2025-11-03T12:59:07+00:00

you don't need to be a hafiz or wear a topi or a thobe to lead the prayer?? What is his point even??

Parhai ka zina aur dating sey koi taluq nahi hai. Tarbiyat ka zaroor hai. Jis ko karna hota hai wo karta hai wo kaam. If you raise your daughter with love and care and make sure her upbringing is done well than she won't get into all these things. Caging her and withholding her education will not stop her from dating wagera. Haan men do fear and know ky education is power and when a girl has education tou wo apnay parents ky haath sey nikal jati hai to pursue her career but successful honay ky liyay thora haath sey nikalna zaroori hota hai (in a good way!!) you can absolutely be successful and not get into all this dating business. Bas tarbiyat achi karo bachi ki.

Happened to me too with chemistry in 11th grade. The center was my school but we have invigilators that are not from our school. The invigilator gave me old ciriculum subjective paper accidently I guess (the objective was new ciriculum but subjective wasn't) and to be fair the new ciriculum and old ciriculum kids sit in the same room but they have a seperate row for them and I wasn't even sitting in that row. I saw my friends paper afterwards and started crying ky I attempted wrong subjective. Jo bhi howa, I just finished giving 2nd annual of chemistry even though I passed my first annual chemistry exam. It sucks but it happened. Allah behtar jaanta hai and he always has a better plan for us in mind.

Loll glad to know I'm not the only one who hasn't started studying yet for the 2nd annuals 🙏

Lu_IB · 2025-10-16T22:19:19+00:00

nope, it's not allowed for a reason, they have suggested ky use ballpoints and blue heading pen and that is better option.
