yaar, mere parents har kisi ko ye batate hain ki mein MNC mein kaam karta hoon, lekin kisi ko nahi pata ki mein bas ye 25 hazar kama raha hoon. ghar pe baith ke khud ko samjhata hoon ki "bahar toh sab chalu hai," lekin asli duniya mein sab kuch itna chaotically boring hai. har roz sochta hoon, "kya main bhi kisi footballer ki tarah exit le sakta hoon, chhod ke bhag jaoon?" lekin phir yaad aata hai...
