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