Laugh Out Loud with Saloni Gaur's Take on Desi Moms vs. ACs

In a world where the AC remote is a sacred object guarded just like Nani ka gold chain, Saloni Gaur hits us with another brutally accurate sketch: “Terrace par sona >>> AC.”

If you grew up in a desi Indian household, this isn't a comedy video, it's a whole documentary.

The Sacred Rule: Thou Shall Not Touch the AC Before 10 PM-

It's about 45 degrees. You're sweating just like a samosa. You turn on the AC.
And suddenly mom comes like a horror movie villain, saying:
“Who turned on the AC during the day? Do you know how much is the bill?”

Forget about ghosts. The real scare is electricity bill.

Energy Saver Mode & Emotional Damage Combo-

“You put a sheet on you? Why? If you're cold, then it means that it's not hot anymore. Turn off the AC.”

Yes, according to Saloni's desi mom, if you're using a sheet, then you don't need AC. If you're sweating, that's very normal. And if you dare to set the temperature below 24°, then you're a criminal.

"Yahan pr 20 rupee pe chal raha tha. Chalo ab 18 pe kar diya hai. Thand kam kar do!"
Temperature? No no, “thand” is now a new currency.

Mattress on the Floor, & Royalty No More-

Why do you need a second AC or a second room?
“Put your mattress on the floor, kyoki garmi mein bonding hoti hai.”

All the siblings. One room. Only one fan. One mother is controlling the remote like Thanos with the Infinity Stones. And if you move much, even the fan's exact angle will be corrected permanently!

Water Buckets, Wet Beds & Broken Dreams-

Bathroom door is open? Bucket not filled? Mattress is wet?
"Mattress bhi geela hai? Bahut accha. Gile bistar pe hi sone se immunity banti hai."

Welcome to the Indian military-style sleep training, run by the Mom-Commando Gaur.

And Finally.. The Remote Ritual-

Before the bed, the night-time ceremony begins.
She holds the remote like a newborn baby.
“1 hour ka timer lagake remote mere haath mein de do. Ab chup chap se so jao.”
Because how dare you sleep with the cool air after she's been all-sweating in the kitchen just like a pressure cooker.

AC May Cool the Room, But Moms Bring the Heat-

Saloni Gaur has now officially given us the Desi AC Survival Guide.
In India, using AC without the mom's approval is equivalent to committing a tax fraud.
From bucket management to the thermostat manipulation, she's captured the pan-India parenting template very perfectly.

So this summer, save the electricity, obey your mom, and go to sleep on your terrace just like a good middle-class soldier
