what changes would you make ?
by Immigrating to a new country and starting a new life. Sick of this scarcity, struggle for every single fucking thing from getting a entry in local train, then slogging at work like donkey and then realising some MBA asshole will dictate your careers, then you think of becoming that asshole by getting masters but again fucking competition there, then wondering why the fuck am I paying taxes on your commute back to home in packed local train like a cockroaches, then struggle to get quality food, quality water and quality air, then again struggle to go to sleep and the Final struggle to wake up
But being the only child of my family and being their retirement fund is binding me here.
Sure other developed countries also have a competition but not to the extent of India.
This only happens in dreams. Your parents won’t let you live such a good life. They’ll be like humne shaadi karke suffer kiya hai ab tu bhi bhugat is narak ko.
Indian parents are selfish.
Not enough people realise this. It's not about getting you married.

Their version of responsibility and ours greatly varies. Even though people with comfortable lifestyle, their parents too crave for a lifestyle where society massages their ego !!!
I'm living that life. Parents are well off, and I'm single and live alone.
Every day, I just eat, do office work, watch TV, read books, listen to music, and sleep. That's more than enough to keep me occupied in life. 😅
I hope that I'll be able to continue this same daily routine till the day I die of old age. Wouldn't be a bad life at all. 😄
Well this is an exploratory post, not having high expectations that grapevine would fix it for me. But to put it in short, I literally have no family, everyone i had now are gone. Friends, yes , quite a lot, but they have/will have a lif...

How much do you think is enough?
It's usually never enough for a lot of people and life is bound to throw a lot of curveballs along the way (for better or for worse), but what's the first figure that comes to your mind at which you feel...
