Show Notes

Honestly, explaining dating to your desi parents has to be a rite of passage for every desi kid. And what’s up with the fact that, between age 0-18, almost all desi kids are told to stay away from dating, and then suddenly when you turn 18, EVERYONE is on your case about your “rishtas” – am I right? And why can dating as a desi-american be so DAMN hard sometimes? In this episode, we sit down and talk about all this and more!
