Paarkiraar (*Watches*) Meme Templates

What is Paarkiraar (*Watches*)?

"Paarkiraar" is formal Tamil for "he is looking", and on meme pages it works like the English *watches* or *stares* caption. The joke borrows the tone of old Tamil novels, news reports and stage directions: a dramatic face gets a solemn caption like "adhirchiyaaga paarkiraar" (looks on in shock), "kovamaaga paarkiraar" (looks on in anger) or "aasaiyaaga paarkiraar" (looks on longingly). The over-formal language on a ridiculous stare is what makes it funny.

What kind of Paarkiraar (*Watches*) templates are there?

The templates are all stares – shocked, angry, hungry, suspicious and puzzled – from movies, news debates, Bigg Boss and audio launches. Use them for watching your friend order the last piece of biryani, staring at the bill after a date, side-eyeing a coworker who took credit for your work, or reacting silently when a relative asks about your marriage.
