This post is my observation on how a middle-class well-educated Indian male specie has his whole life chalked out in his mind, might be even having a five-pont plan on ways to achieve all his goals. Me a perpetual confused soul envies this quality…
Talking to my acquaintances & friends this is how the plan goes:
Upto 25 years- get a market- friendly degree , might be a double degree in the field of your choice.
25-30 years – buy a house & car, look for a life partner , get hitched , go on a lovely honeymoon & ‘settle’ down in life( btw I have never understood that term as none of us our nomads & we are already as settled as we can be)
30-40 years – parent ‘chunnu’ & ‘munnu’ , two adorable but naughty children & gossip with your wife regarding your neighbours affairs.
40-60 years – watch chunnu & munnu growing, suffer from mid-life crisis, go on foreign trips with lovely family to bond with them.
60years & after- retire from active life, live on savings & annoy children & their spouses, give a lot of unsolicited advice.
This is their 5-point life plan ……..I am not poking fun but simply making a general observation.
I wish someone drew me one of those , as my constantly mind is always buzzing it has new desires, goals, ambitions, new things to learn which makes a simple plan un-chalkable…sigh….
