Send Push
When it comes to parenting, Indians are unmatched, and this viral clip proves it yet again. From razor-sharp taunts that make you wonder whether to laugh or cry, to out-of-the-box tactics that land the message, the creativity never stops. In the latest example, lighting up timelines, a desi mom hired a full dhol band to blast her kids out of bed.


The video, viewed over a million times, offers a fresh, laugh‑out‑loud window into modern Indian parenting. But the punchline lands after the drumroll. Despite the sonic assault, the kids, being pro with the parents' gambits, roll over, yank up the blanket, and refuse to budge.

Operation Wake-Up: Successful?

The video starts with the mother navigating the local musicians up to their apartment, asking them not to make any sound yet. After quietly navigating them to her kids' room, the mother cues the band to start playing. Though the mother stays behind the camera, you can almost picture the proud smile on her face. But what happens next takes everyone by surprise.

The kids, without a budge, pull the blanket over their heads and roll over to the other side. The wholesome video has gone viral, praising the creativity of the mother and the persistence of the children.

'Keep this video away from my parents'

The internet is having a field day with netizens actively advocating for both sides of the case. While many users recommended the mother for special recognition for coming up with this wonderful idea, some users also brought ever-sought-after question of what the kids would do after waking up early in the morning.


One user hilariously compared the difference of approach between girl-parents and boy-parents by highlighting the 'violent' treatment boys would receive for waking up late.


A user even suggested a cost-efficient alternative to the approach by asking the mother to simply pour a bucket of water over the sleeping kids. "Ek baalti paani daal deti. Itna kharcha bachta. (Just pour a bucket of water, it would save you the expense.)"


Amid the laughter and light-hearted banter, viewers have largely praised the mother’s joyous approach. Instead of starting the mornings with scoldings and frustration, the mother chose an uplifting and playful method to wake her kids up in the morning.
