StatusFamily and parents status
Lines about the people who knew you before you had a profile picture. For Mother's Day, a family photo, or no occasion at all.
English
Home is where someone asks "did you eat?"
Everything I am started at one dining table.
My mother's prayers work overtime.
Dad never said "I love you". He said "reach safely". Same thing.
Siblings: built in best friends with complaints.
Family is the group you cannot leave, and would not.
Rich is having both parents at the table.
My parents held the cycle seat, then quietly let go.
The house was small. The childhood was huge.
Grandparents are the original storytellers.
My mother's "have you eaten?" is a full sentence of love.
Papa says little. His tiffin packing says the rest.
Loud house, full heart.
Grandparents: the original search engine, with better stories.
Whatever I am, the first lessons were at that dining table.
हिन्दी
माँ की दुआ और पापा की मेहनत, यही मेरी पूँजी है।
घर वही है जहाँ माँ है।
पापा कम बोलते हैं, पर उनकी चुप्पी में भी फ़िक्र होती है।
भाई बहन का झगड़ा, दुनिया का सबसे प्यारा झगड़ा।
परिवार साथ हो, तो हर मुश्किल आधी लगती है।
माँ के हाथ की रोटी, हर होटल से ऊपर।
दादी की कहानियाँ, बचपन का असली ख़ज़ाना।
जिनके सिर पर माँ बाप का हाथ है, वे सबसे अमीर हैं।
माँ की डाँट में भी दुआ होती है।
पापा के कंधे, दुनिया की सबसे ऊँची जगह।
घर वही, जहाँ जूते उतारते ही सुकून मिल जाए।
दादी की कहानियाँ, बचपन की सबसे अच्छी किताब।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
ਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਅਸੀਸ, ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡੀ ਦੌਲਤ।
ਮਾਪੇ ਰੱਬ ਦਾ ਰੂਪ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਨੇ।
ਬਾਪੂ ਦੀ ਪੱਗ ਤੇ ਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਚੁੰਨੀ, ਮੇਰੀ ਇੱਜ਼ਤ ਮੇਰੀ ਦੁਨੀਆ।
ਭੈਣ ਭਰਾਵਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਘਰ ਦੀ ਰੌਣਕ ਹੈ।
ਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਰੋਟੀ ਤੇ ਬਾਪੂ ਦੀ ਛਾਂ, ਰੱਬ ਦੀ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡੀ ਦਾਤ।
ਬੇਬੇ ਦੀਆਂ ਅਸੀਸਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਹੈ।
ਘਰ ਦੀ ਰੌਣਕ, ਦਿਲ ਦਾ ਸਕੂਨ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Good moments for a family status
A parent's birthday, a festival at home, the day you travel back, a grandparent's story, a sibling's result. Family lines are also the ones elders in your contact list enjoy most, so plain words work better than clever ones.
Write it the way your family talks
Use the names you use at home: Maa, Amma, Bebe, Papa, Daddy ji, Nani. Mention the real thing they do, such as the tiffin, the 9 pm call or the lecture about sweaters. "Papa still checks my tyres" is a whole portrait in five words. Lines in Hindi or Punjabi often land better with parents than English ones, so pick the language they read most easily.
Think before posting family photos
- Check who can see your status before posting photos of children.
- Ask elders if they are comfortable. Some are not, and will not say so afterwards.
- Keep house numbers, school uniforms with names and car number plates out of the frame.
What to avoid
- Praising one relative in a way that slights another.
- Family disagreements, even as hints.
- Posting only on special days. A line on a normal Tuesday means more.
Before you post
- Parents rarely see a status. Read the line out to them too.
