Zara & Omie: Homework Help Papa Style

Written by Leena Mahtani | Sep 12, 2025 3:34:27 PM

Every kid knows the risk of asking their parents for homework help. You might get wisdom, you might get confusion… or in Zara’s case, you might get dessert.

When Zara asked Papa how to write girl in Hindi, his confident answer was… लड्डू. Instead of लड़की (ladki = girl), he proudly wrote laddu — the word for sweet.

It wasn’t just wrong. It was deliciously wrong.

Here’s Papa’s secret talent: He doesn’t just translate words — he translates everything into food. Math? That’s about how many samosas you can eat. Science? Obviously, about why chai cools down faster in steel cups. And Hindi? Well… apparently, it’s about ladoos.

Homework may not always be correct with Papa, but it’s guaranteed to be unforgettable — and way funnier than the textbook.
