Days after Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan celebrated her 23rd birthday, she took to Instagram and shared a video talking about her aspirations as a child where she aspired to solve the issue of corruption and end unemployment among other important crises prevalent in the society. She spoke about how she dreamt of traveling villages and checking at the employment rate and then starting her own company to hire people. While she had many dreams of helping the people, she was told to focus on her studies which would further help in accomplishing her goals.

Ira said, “At different ages, I wanted to solve corruption. I was like ‘We will find all the people who are corrupt and we will tell their bosses that they are corrupt and then we will get rid of corruption’. I wanted to end unemployment so I wanted to go to all the villages and find out what villagers were good at doing and get them employment in companies that can actually, or make my own company so that I can actually pay them what they need.”

She added, “I wanted to, lots of people were on a diet and they were eating six egg whites a day, but not eating the egg yolks. I was like, ‘we should collect the egg yolks and feed it to the dogs so that the dogs don’t go hungry’.”

To fulfil her dreams, Ira had a plan. She was told to do her bit at the time by focusing on her studies. She said, “I was like, ‘okay, I’ll study, I’ll grow, earn lots of money and I will donate it to NGOs.”

News Desk — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 18:01:40 +0000

Parents are like guarding angels for all their children. From protecting their child from dangers to guiding him/her when they get old, parents come with a full package of perks. And we Indians are the luckiest to have such parents and enjoy all the perks that come with it. From ‘maa ke haath ka khana’ to ‘papa kuch paise de do’ these two angels always have our backs.

But the story doesn’t just end with the perks, we remember all kinds quirky things they did to us when we were children, like giving us bizarre nick names that only they find adorable and calling us with those name in front of our friends, sharing our silly episodes with relatives, dressing us in different and funny type of clothes, etc and the list never ends. But now that we’re old, why not reverse these episodes by surprising them with most quirkiest gifts they’ve ever received.

BULLSHIT BUZZER

We all know someone’s being talking trash, we can smell it from miles away . It gets worse when they keep talking, talking and talking!!
In such situations, the bullshit buzzer comes in handy. Whenever your parents hear somebody talking bullshit, tell them to just press and the button and speak out their mind; whatever they think about them. This will be really embarrassing in front of the relatives.

WORLD’S SMALLEST VACUUM CLEANER

As much as our parents love tidiness and cleanliness, gifting them the world’s smallest vacuum is a beautiful and handy gift . It has an ergonomic design and it actually works,
They will definitely have a surprising reaction to this unusual gift.

THE MEMORY WORKOUT KIT

Due to old age, our parents forget where are the items of their daily use. They keep looking around the whole house and will make huge fuss about it that their children are not responsible and careful ( desi parent thing). For such times, a memory workout kit can help. And for a moment, it will make them laugh too. This workout has been curated by world-renowned momentologist Tom Friedman and it contains puzzles, quizzes, brain teasers and memory challenges to help keep your parents in tip-top shape.

6 PACK BEER BELT

We all know how our fathers love the taste of beer and their excessive consumption of beer sometimes becomes the hot topic of dinner table conversation.
Bring him one of these belts and make the hot topic a conversation full of laughter and giggles. Your father won’t stop thanking you.
