Is it just me or does every time you finally sit down to enjoy your favorite show, the universe decides it’s the perfect moment for the WiFi to crash? Like, does the router have a vendetta against my mental health? I’m over here battling my FOMO and Netflix is just like, “Nah, not today.” Can we just all agree that buffering is the 21st-century version of torture?
I swear, the best advice I ever got was from a random uncle at a wedding who was three drinks in. He said, "Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.

I have a confession: I get irrationally angry when my parents compare me to Sharma ji ka beta. Like, sure, he’s got a fancy job and a Pinterest-perfect life, but I’m just over here trying to feed my plants without killing them. Can we just appreciate that I successfully avoided a quarter-life crisis by binge-watching Netflix for the past year? My achievements are valid too!
