Check out this Twitter thread that tells how it was being sick in a desi house.
The 90s kids have a lot to recall from their childhood and the credit goes to desi parents. Most of our parents did not believe us when we said that we are too sick to be functioning, let alone go to school and we all remember that struggle well.
People on Twitter started to share their experience with desi parents and how difficult it was to convince them that we are sick and need to rest. Just when the thread picked up, many Indians shared their experience of growing up in a desi household. Check out the reactions and experiences of people below.
