Desi Twitter users share their parents “golden words”.

Loud, intimidating and over-ambitious are the few characteristics that define desi parents. What set them further apart from conventional parents are their great sayings. They have opinions on almost everything -- from their child’s future career to what their spouses should be like.

Local Twitter users decided to share their parents “golden words” - things they say and things they don’t say at all.
