FRIENDS: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
PUNJABI FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing, and just being together.


FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.

FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
PUNJABI FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds that left you...


FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
PUNJABI FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, 'I'm home! Daaru - shaaru nikal yaar "'
