How to Lose a Rishta in Ten Ways

Curry Bear has a friend who recently visited Pakistan. Upon going to his motherland, he came across a few problems including diarrhea, blackouts, and BBS (black booger syndrome). However, none of those problems could amount to the millions of women throwing themselves at this young bachelor. Now if your parents are strict in culture, sooner or later they are going to take you out to look at girls that will make you a good wifey. You will sit at the girl's house along with her family and stare at each other from across the room. The girl will run back to her room and cry her eyes out hoping the guy doesn’t like her. Or the guy would go back to his house and whine about how he doesn’t like her. Well Curry Bear is an expert on bonding and losing risthas. Curry Bear had over 20000 risthas thrown his way. Curry bear is the Wilt Chamberlain of the rishta game. Here are some tips on how to get the people you are visiting for a rishta to reject you.

1. Speak American English.- For example, if they ask “how many years are you?”, you reply with “Huh? Oh you mean how old am I?” Make them look dumb.
- Speak English even when they speak to you in Urdu/Hindi/Punjabi/Gujju, especially if their English is terrible. Pretend you don't understand some words because of their thick accent. And then show them how to really pronounce those words.

2. Don’t eat!- They find it very rude if you go to their house and don’t eat. So when the girl brings in the chai and biscuits, you don't touch it! No matter how delicious those strawberry biscuits look, you DO NOT touch it.
- Be sure to tell your parents your stomach hurts before hand.

3. Aimless glare.
- Start glaring aimlessly with your mouth open and look uninterested.
- This should be done when the ristha side is looking at you and your parents are not.

4. Dress short.- It's sad but desi parents are very big on height
- Don’t dress in high heels or dress shoes.

5. Darkness Factor.
- Go to the beach the day before and stay out in the sun till you bake yourself into an overcooked piece of tandoori chicken.
- Desi people are also racist in a subtle way. They prefer fair skin. (sorry South Indians)

6. Glasses.
- It turns out that desi parents do not like boys/girls with weak vision. Yep, it's all part of natural selection.
- However, on the positive side it makes boys looks smart. So if you are a nerd, try to dress like a punk rocker.
- Don’t wear nice contacts though!They'll assume you're rich.

7. Talking is a judgment call.
- If you talk too much, they might think you’re entertaining or obnoxious.
- If you talk too little, they might think you’re boring or very polite.

8. Twitch or shake.- Pretend you have a nervous twitch and only do it when your parents are not looking.
- If caught by your parents, blame it on staying up all night or your cold.
- For guys, they should shake their legs like they're craving another hit of heroin. It's very annoying to desi parents.

9. Grooming.- Claim you ran out of hair products and couldn’t style your hair.
- Also, try either to not shave or cut yourself on purpose while shaving.
- No cologne is a plus.

10. The bathroom.- Right before you leave, ask if you can go to the bathroom. Use the bathroom but don’t flush. This only works if they have a potty system. If they have the 3rd world toilets, jus take a dump and don't pour the bucket of water. But please, wash your hand!
- If your parents go in after you, say it was them and not you. And if the other family goes in after you, well they won’t be asking you over anytime soon.
