Saw a pregnant squirrel for the first time today. I’m not sure what I expected but this exceeds all of it.

The biggest lie that the patriarchy has us believe is that raising children and providing for the family/pursuing a career are two equally consuming roles. LIESSS

Religion wouldn’t have had such an iron grip over our consciousness if we were not indoctrinated by it from very impressionable young ages.

All religions would die out if we first heard of them as adults. You’re saying I should speak to a man in the sky? You need therapy bro

@kulkajinkya Ah, I hope that’s not the case. Such a unidimensional existence does sound depressing to me

diaspora desis being self proclaimed leftists then immediately becoming genocidal fascists when it concerns their homeland is so crazy 😭

Looks like Millennials will have their early retirement dreams come true after all, once we’re all made irrelevant at the workplace in our 40s

[Mukul Dekhane @dekhane_mukul]

Irrelevance is the new retirement.

Deloitte India with a retirement age of 62 years, gave golden handshake to 35 partners above 55.

They are removing those who have their past behind them and adding those who have their future ahead of them.

Guess who all will follow. Right, everyone!

When I came in, no one took you seriously until you had grey hair. Age got respect, credibility and deference.

Just when I got there, someone changed the rules of the game!

Now I know what Charlie Chaplin meant, “Time is my only enemy”.

So you see people trying to cover up their age.
The hair gets blacker.
Cosmetic procedures, shiny new wheels, trendy lingo.
In short my generation moved from trying to impress those older than us to those younger to us! And we all know the former is probable the latter are near impossible to please.

Ask anyone who has retired. They don’t miss the money. They miss the routine, meetings, travel, ringing phones- what they may have complained about. As humans we struggle for relevance. That our life matters. Without it there is void.

Along this time, you meet more Doctors than DJs. You may be paying heavy cost of your kids higher education and you realise that time is running out on you.

Henry Thoreau said, “Most men live lives of quiet desperation and they go to their graves with the song still in them.”

In your fifties there are three possibilities.
One is disappointment of not getting that S Class Merc or you got it but think about what you missed in its chase and the third is laughing at the stupidity of ever wanting one. 

कभी किसी को मुकम्मल जहाँ नहीं मिलता
कहीं ज़मीन तो कहीं आसमान नहीं मिलता

No one gets everything, sometimes you get success but failed relationships, kids grew up and parents grew old without you and sometimes you get that right but fall short of success.

What’s funny is that growing old is compulsory but growing up seems optional.

I marvel at people’s ability to be childish, egoistic and ready to fight on trivial things. How did they miss the point of life!

Long back I stopped buying tickets to other people’s dramas. I see all around me with the attitude of the Polish adage, “Not my circus, not my monkeys.”
A delayed flight, people venting on counter staff, cutting lines to board an aircraft early. Everything is stressful and everything is funny- depends on our lens.

Ageing well is moving from being a noisy mountain stream in your teens to a deep, calm ocean.

Fifties our ancients called Vanprastha ashram. Facing the forest. I have a different take to it. I think in fifties, one needs to build a Version 2, find our joie di vivre and burn the candle at both ends. Do what you need to do. Sing that song. If not now, when!

The pain of failure is less than the pain of regret. Go for it. Fifties is the new twenties with thirty years of experience! If you are in your twenties or thirties take it from me that time is a thief, it slips away. Buddha was right - The trouble is you think you have time!

Enjoy life to the fullest, as it comes....

So, one thing is obvious. India can function without a PM.

[nina @ninagrewrites]

let people do what they do, and behave how they behave. take notes and decide if that behaviour is something you want to deal with in your life. most people’s actions don’t have anything do with you and more to do with their own internal struggles which are projected onto others.

It’s so key to exit therapy when it hits the point of diminishing and even reversing marginal utility. Where you being to look so inward that you end up an even bigger douche than you began as 😂

[Moira Donegan @MoiraDonegan]

Had the thought that maybe we need a new kind of therapy—one that doesn’t just coddle people’s vanity and sense of entitlement but encourages them to think about their responsibilities, and to confront how they have hurt others. Then I realized I had re-invented Catholicism.
