00:00The midlife crisis that you experience at the age of 35 or 40 or 45 is actually something
00:06that gets initiated decades earlier.
00:09It got initiated when you entered class 11th and you didn't know whether to go for commerce
00:16or science or medicine or arts or whatever.
00:19And then somebody told you, you pick up this particular stream and you will be happy.
00:24And you just didn't know anything, you enrolled into a particular stream.
00:28That's when the whole thing began.
00:30And then it kept snowballing.
00:32As you kept moving on in life, it just kept getting bigger and bigger like a balloon inflating
00:38in size.
00:39But the balloon cannot keep gaining volume infinitely, a time comes, a day comes when
00:45it just rests.
00:46That's what we call as midlife crisis.
00:48All hot air is what the life of a youngster is about.
00:52Just hot air, gas, a lot of gas.
00:55And gas can't survive for too long.
00:58Ever seen an everlasting balloon?
01:00But then that's what we are all busy blowing up.
