Middle class Indian parents really be treating electronic items as humans, like my grandmother. And even now, my mother says, Come out of your room, switch off the fan switch of the cooler. It has been switched on since morning or in Daisy language, they say Fuk Jay Gatti de cooler. Chalayato. Does he really want to give rise to the fan or cooler? Or is it just a trick to make me come out of my room for some time

I'll tell you what probably the electricity bill was a little too high last month. So that's why they are trying to reduce it and to do that. They are using these tricks on you. So yes, I feel at least least at my home. This is the solution they use
I think it's both. Yes, they're tricking us into coming out of a room. Like Simon said, it's probably because they were shocked with the last month's electric bill in my house. My mother usually turns off the fans and lights lights because me and my dad sometimes forget to turn them off. It has become such a habit to her, like cleaning up after us that sometimes she would come into the room and randomly turn off the lights and find when we are in the room

Alexa, stop. And I'm like, Why are you scrolling? No, because she's playing it too high. Too high value. I cannot hear everything else. My God, why are you scolding it? And then there are laptops and mobile phones. I mean, I think laptops and mobile phones are more precious to our parents than us, like they would. My mom, for starters, would keep the plastic on the keyboard, the mobile phone she'll keep somewhere else

So it probably comes from a sense of deep rooted sense of conservation and preserving as much as possible and also optimal utilization of resources. So it's a beautiful way of for incorporating all these values in us from a young age. So we start treating our equipment as family. So wonderful, lovely pile
