@abrnthyfranc I can't read continuously without breaks. I take time to finish a book. It's not like i have to finish it in one go. It's like a getaway from work, spend time leisurely with a book in a comfy place.
Adulting hits different when you’re not excited for Holi anymore.
Back then it was society compound chaos. One bucket. Ten friends. Zero money. Unlimited vibes.
Now? One friend abroad. One married. One “bro call later, in ameeting.” One broke. And Holi moved from Party plots, Concerts and “RAIN DANCE FEST” passes.
From togetherness to ticketed entry. From colors to creepy stares. From thandai to hard drinks & harder vibes.
I don’t know who needs to hear this… but we didn’t grow up we just got scattered.
Bring back the compound Holi💛
If you can afford to have food delivered straight to your front door, you can afford to tip at least $20. Period.
You’re not just paying for tacos. You’re paying for somebody to:
• Use their own car
• Use their own gas
• Put miles on their engine
• Sit in traffic
• Wait at the restaurant
• Bring it directly to your door
All because you didn’t feel like going to get it yourself.
Delivery is a luxury. It’s convenience. It’s comfort. It’s somebody else handling the errand while you sit at home in pajamas.
And before somebody says “that’s their job”….yes, and tips are how gig drivers actually make their money. The base pay on apps like DoorDash is not what you think it is.
If you can drop $60 on dinner, you can drop $20 on the person bringing it to you.
If $20 feels like too much, maybe pickup is the better option.
Respect the hustle. Respect the gas. Respect the time.
