Like on the really small things that maybe less protective parents, or less involved parents, I don't even know what word to use but would maybe kind of leave to the kid- like, what are you wearing? How much time do you spend in your room? You know, whether you clean your room. There's less pressure.' But there's still kind of a lot of elements in spite of, like okay, work, where they kind of try to weight in their opinion a lot. SHARMA: I guess I'll say that they have become maybe a little bit less overprotective over the past couple of years since I came back from college, because they figure like, 'Oh, you know, she spent four years away from us, pretty much.

Tell me about your feels about what it's like living with parents like that. Ha! So I know that Swati and I bonded a lot over our frustrations dealing with overprotective parents. If they could have a GPS tracker attached to you, they would. You know, hovering above you and paranoid about your safety and well-being that they just want to be there with you all the time and know where you are at every second. What do you call them? Helicopter parents. From when we're babies to high schoolers to college, you know, they're just parents.

When I say people I mean our overprotective parents. I know with like, every episode, it's something that a lot of us go through, but this something is definitely, you know, been with us, these people have been with us since ha, forever. Today, we're going to be talking about something that a lot of us go through. So yeah, it's a bit- we're both a bit tired, but we're going to try our best and follow through with this interview. NGUYEN: Yeah, right now we're actually talking at near midnight, right before New Year's. SHARMA: I work in a biotech company called Sanofi Genzyme and it's basically a pharmaceutical company and I work in the neuroscience therapeutic area of that particular company. Yeah, I majored in neuroscience and I am Indian American. We comprise a group called Clean Up Crew that met in the dining hall every night to stay up until like, 4 a.m. We were in the same house, Northrop House, for about a year and a half. SWATI SHARMA, INTERVIEWEE: Hey, I'm doing pretty well. (LAUGHS)В So hey Swati, whatвЂ™s up? How are you doing? I think IвЂ™m going to have her introduce herself because I like it when people introduce themselves more than I do it myself. Yeah, she's a friend of mine from Smith College. I am so excited to have Swati, my friend here on this episode.

Swati Sharma is a neuroscience research assistant at a pharmaceutical company who loves comedy and singing, and is passionate about learning new things and making the world a better place. In this episode, my friend Swati and I will share stories on how we cope with our differences and disagreements with our parents. in which you experience cultural clashes within your home everyday. I think that it's more important to focus on how different our beliefs and values are to our parents as it is quite a unique experience growing up as an Asian in the U.S. I wouldn't say that all Asian parents are strict and conservative by nature, but I would like to open the floor to discuss the reasons why some of them are that way to their children. Thank you for tuning in to listen to SEASON 2 of Project Voice! Let's kick off the new season with a topic that many of us constantly have to grapple with regardless of how old we are: interacting with our parents.
