12 Things You’ll Relate to If You’re From a Nepali Middle-Class Family!

Hey there, friends! Our lives are like a mixed bag of dalmot—beautiful, sweet, sour, and a little bit spicy, all mixed together! And the best part? The unique quirks and values of our Nepali middle-class families! Let’s see if these things strike a chord with you too!

1. Night Outs? Never

Going out to play? Read the Ramayana instead! College party? Eat rice at home! Why stay out late when there are windows to shut, dishes to wash, and parents to serve?

2. The Remote should be kept new.

Wrapped in a plastic cover to protect it from dust and lost buttons. And remember, TV time has rules—parents’ programs come before your Cartoon Network!

3. The last but of toothpaste

That last stubborn bit of toothpaste? Squeeze it out! It’s a parent-approved rule. And use sparingly—one tiny squeeze has to last a month!

4. Sibling Fashion Show!

New clothes? Hand-me-downs from your older siblings! Daai’s shirt or didi’s jeans? They’re all yours now!

5. Guests? Bring Out the Fancy Crockery

Regular meals? Normal plates and steel cutlery. Guests arriving? Unleash the brass or copper plates and bowls from Mom’s treasure chest!

6. The Cookie Box’s Secret Identity!

It’s not for cookies, it’s for needles and thread! And make sure no one mistakenly takes those cookies!

7. What to order in a restro?

Pizza? Burger? Fancy Korean dish? Too expensive! Mom won’t approve! Momo-chowmein is our best friend—affordable, delicious, and everyone’s happy!

8. Uniforms with a Life of Their Own!

Oversized uniforms that last for years? Check! Mom always asks, “Will it fit next year too?” And somehow, it always does!

9. Dad’s Bike—Flying Through the Wind!

Going to school? Dad’s bike! Hanging out with friends? Dad’s bike! It’s the ultimate joyride!

10. The Polythene Queen!

A bag full of bags! Need a tiny one, a big one, or a medium one? No worries, the master bag has it all!

11. Horlicks Bottle with a Twist!

Mom adds a spoonful of ghee for extra strength and weight growth! And the taste? You’ve got to try it to believe it!

12. The Great Expectations!

“Study hard, achieve success, and make us proud!” Every Nepali parent’s mantra. And what can we do? We’re their everything!
