You want everything early, right?
00:02
Today they say you must have a mark at 25
00:04
only then life is successful.
00:06
People used to buy their first Maruti 800 after retirement.
00:08
So a lot of people are getting a lot of things
00:10
way too early.
00:12
And therefore,
00:14
the subsequent disappointment
00:16
and disillusionment
00:18
also comes earlier.
00:20
So the kind of depression people used to experience at 40
00:22
is now being experienced at 25.
00:24
Because the experiences
00:26
that they would accumulate
00:28
till 40 are now
00:30
being had in a much
00:32
shorter time span.
00:34
They would take 40 years to have those kind
00:36
of experiences that you guys
00:38
are having within a
00:40
short span of 10-15 years now.
00:42
You travel much more, you consume much more.
00:44
The internet has
00:46
widened the scope of your experiences
00:48
much more.
00:50
You get into serial relationships which was not happening
00:52
earlier. So in some sense
00:54
you have the opportunity
00:56
to be wizened
00:58
much earlier.
