I was going to say… and I think I did mention it to you, I never once said anything specific about aunty’s treating me this way. Maybe there was a miscommunication because I mentioned an aunty made du’aa for me and Saqib, and that “everyone and their mother” was calling me a dulhan. But “everyone and their mother” is just an expression for–everyone!

In actuality it was people my *own* age who grew up in America telling me how to act and what to do and say. So it definitely isn’t an issue of culture clash. I think I said this rather explicitly in the post– the problem is I don’t like being told what to do and say *because* I’m the dulhan. I’m just Ayesha!

I see that you did not say anything negative about the aunties.

Now I know what happens when you “ass-u-me” things.

Nevertheless, nightingale and roaring still does not go together.

Love,

Baba

Nightingales are not suppose to roar like beasts.

You are way overreacting on this.

These aunties are just trying to treat you like a VIP in their own way. Give ‘em a break

Let’s not turn this into a clash of cultures.

Are’nt you also expecting others, ie aunties, to behave in a certain way?

Love and sincerest wishes for “The Dulhan”
