Hi,

This is my 2nd post in the 18 again in 2018 series.

Now that my job is somewhat relaxed I could find time to read up a few books. One of those books was ‘Bad Dogs have more Fun’.

At the other side of 25 you realize that you have been a really good girl/ boy and followed what your parents said and your grandparents instructed. You stick by the norms, make notes, study hard for exams, do not spend money on parties (and sometimes even try to save money spent on tuitions and paper).

But then reality hits you when you don’t get your dream job/car/bike or your guy/girl which you desired and doted on. Everyone around you is very happy, with your so-called “accomplishments” and college degrees except for you.

At that time one should introspect. Is there something which she/he did wrong? Did their parents/grandparents successfully made them just like them? Loyal, hard-working, sincere…a perfect Indian corporate slave who must not cross the limits of speaking up in a formal, informal or any kind of setting.

I had written an article some 4 5 years back which some of you may find relevant in this context

Hoping to hear from some of you.

Love,
