Do those exist?

My grandma is teaching herself to read Urdu (she never had the chance to be formally educated back in the pind).

She's very motivated. She recently learned to read Qur'anic Arabic too (recently as in a decade ago).

I was like "Bayji, forget Urdu. You need to learn to read English. You don't need Urdu in Canada and it's not like you're planning on going back to Pakistan to live, right?" And she was like "No, puttar... I need to learn to read Urdu." She wants to because there are certain Urdu words she encounters when reading religious texts.

I like how your grandma likes me, I like how your mom likes me too. I like how all moms and their moms like me

Way to turn a conversation about my awesome grandma into one about yourself.
Waakaiye, kitna ghuroor hai.

Hey now... Spice is very humble. And she'll be the first one to tell you that.

Of course.

You and IbnM would make a beautiful couple; you're both so conceited.
