Remember the serial… Hum Paanch and the character of Auntie mat kaho na… When I used to see her I used to wonder how will I react when people call me auntie… A few incidents here and there happened long back which I choose to ignore and shurg away thinking of these idiot kids dont even know who who is auntie and who is didi but then I got married….
And the status turned to Auntie for lot of kids instantly and with the birth of Ojas I have turned a universal auntie… 🙂 the other day we went to the birthday party of a 17-yr old girl and all the girls including her were calling me auntie… frankly speaking it did feel a little weird, I have become used to kids calling auntie but a 17-yr old he he
But you know what I am happy about… the girls were really happy to talk to me ;-), I danced away to glory with them and when I would come down the floor for a break… one of them would really come back to get me… It took me back to the time when I was in teenage and used to get really impressed with some 30+ aunties and used to think so they are so cool… the cool moms…. he he
And yesterday when we attended my niece’s birthday party the same happened… I was surrounded by the group of 10-12 yr old girls… playing with them… getting tattos with them…. and they insisted that I even sit and eat with them…. makes me really happy…
What if I am auntie… I am smart auntie atleast 😉 This is what I had always thought… and now I hope the next step to that too comes true…. 10 yrs from now I want to be one of those smarter aunties… with salt-and-pepper hair, crisp cotton and tussar sarees with temple borders and geometric designs… accessorized with lots of silver and lots of beads and some chunky kadas to add to… what say people? Will I look good 😉
Some snaps of the tattoo that the family did 😀

N’s supposedly masculine

And Ojas IS a rock star!!
I am after all Pixu auntie for him too!!!!! 😉
LOL@ “supposedly masculine”!! his is err.. quite “cute” too!!
N is going to kill me first and then talk to me I suppose!!!!
possibly a life after death event 😉
All tatoos are so gud !!! 🙂
Auntie…..yeah, I too have gone over that syndrome. First, I used to feel so irritated, that all the kids have started calling me Auntie. Used to hate it. But, I’ve grown over it, now. I’ve come to terms with it – They cant call me by name, na ??? 🙂
Yeah, absolutely, I think, you’ll be one smart auntie in crisp cotton saris, beads and quite stylish, tooo !!!! 😛
Me too, want to look like that…that is, I want to age gracefully – What say ????
Hehe uber-cool auntie! I want to be one of them too 🙂
Remember my post on similar lines… Bhaiya mat kaho na…
this is a death wish Monu !!! I wont call you Auntie coz i have had some horrific experiences… recently on the two treks I went… all 20+ would call us uncle and aunty…
We gave them a warning… if anyone calls us other than dhiren or hetal we arent joining them next time… we dont even want didi or bhaiya… just dhiren or hetal…
this 30+ age… is weird I tell ya… really weird !!
You can’t call her auntie. You are older. 😀
oye… I m not older… !!
I m infact like a kid…
lots of you tell me to grow up… lol
The tattoos arent loading at home… on my kachva chaap internet… will see them tomorrow from office
All tattoos are cool.
I once had a girl calling me auntie when I was newly married only to realize later that she was older than me. Ha..ha..ha.. She thought just because I was married I was older. Funny people! she was pale when she realized her mistake.
I don’t like random people calling me auntie or didi/chechi. This mostly happens with Indians. Even a 30 year old tries to be young and calls a 31 year old didi. Now if this is not strange then what is? In our camp and school didi/bhaiyya wasn’t a norm. Mostly people preferred names.
Once at workplace a guy who was 29 yrs old told and American guy (around 37) that he is very young. American guy asked if he needs a high chair and bib. LOL
LOL @ auntie math kaho na.. 🙂
I really feel odd when kids call (at times only) me aunty… some say didi…
Little ones r too confused and they ask me directly “U r didi or aunty?” hehehe 😀
Awesome tattoos! Loved it!
Ojas darling, keep rocking! \m/
Oooo and there r few moms (28 – 40 yrs) who gets jealous when their kids call me didi. They tell their kidos to mention me as aunty. And some intelligent ones doesnt even listen to them lolll…c’mon i’m only 25 😀
Ah, I remember that serial 🙂 And who cares if we are called aunties, as far as it is prefaced with “hot” /”cool” 😀
I think you will rock, the tussar-silver jewellery look!
And oh, Oju baby is a total rockstar!
Monika auntie 🙂 is one sweet smart n sexy aunty with a handsome hunk kid that everyone would like to be around her.. n that 10 yrs down the line look is so cool.
nice tattoos and I saw the 17 yr old kid’s bday pics on fb.. u dont look like auntie at all…
I remember It was Pooja Aunty 🙂
You know what I dont like, random friends of NK, their wives calling him bhaiya. Kiske bhiaya, kaun bhaiya(once I said bhaiya sa saiya nahi banalena,, pin drop silence after that)..or someone calling me bhabhi..I never understood that. I have always said, please mei kiski bhaiya bhabhi nahi hua. I’m sure I am across as a rude person, but I dont know you from Jack.
I certainly remember ‘Aunty mat kaho na’ 🙂
’10 yrs from now I want to be one of those smarter aunties… with salt-and-pepper hair, crisp cotton and tussar sarees with temple borders and geometric designs… accessorized with lots of silver and lots of beads and some chunky kadas to add to…’ – yes! That’s what I want to be too! And you will look gorgeous that way too!
The tattoo’s are great! Ojas’s one is so cute!
Marriage certainly puts us into the ‘auntie’ bracket. I remember when we were young, we had a neighbour who used to call my mom ‘auntie’ – when he actually looked older than her 🙂 We used to tease mom so much about it 🙂
cool tattoos!
The first time I experienced the dreaded word ‘aunty’ was when I went to vizag with a month old baby! Yes the 15 year olds in the bldg called me aunty. Hey, ask me if I am ready yet! Sob! sob! And now, as my younger BIL is going to have his baby, I have been told that the baby will ideally address me as Pedda amma! (Means Badi Ma in telugu) NO! I am not ready for that either. My wild imagination kicks in and I have some scary images in the head of me with un-starched cotton saris with drooping boobs! 😀 😀
Aunty aunty…..I’m here.. :)…Sorry been away all these days hon. been a little occupied but you know me….i won’t stay away from here :)….Muahhhh
……..and as for the aunty….well I’ve been called that….but not by 17th year olds yet 🙂 LOL…. the culture here is different that way….you won’t find kids running about calling everyone aunty/uncle the way we do in India. they’ll call you by name or they’ll say mam, miss, lady….things like that !
Oh I love super cool aunties… and I think the salt n pepper, cotton/tussar sarees are so so amazing. And you will look hawt when it does come to that 🙂
I always have thought that I would love to be a coool mom 🙂 When the time come it shall be seen what kind of a MOM i shall be.. ( strict is what everyone who knows me says)
You will look spectacular. Believe me. I have foresight 😉
And the car tattoo is cho cute . DInt he ask for a permanent one?
Loved the tattoos and I can relate to teen girls calling us Aunties!!! Ufffffffff!! Ab in bachchon ko kaun samjhaye! 😛
ha ha ha Cool Auntie…. Thats what u want to be called, I can do that no problems et all 😛
Nice tattoos 🙂
Shoooooos shweeet…the car tattoo…most certainly a Star in the making. And yeah, I adore the idea of crisp cotton saris with unique jewellery…some of my favourite things (never tried them though..too afraid till now) 🙂
All so so sweet 🙂 Hw come I dint c Oju’s then 😦
17-yr old calling aunty – she needs some gyaan to be imparted 😛
