22-26 is not a nice age for males. Your age fellow girls are getting married & your career has just started, elders treat you as unproven theorems, teenagers feel that you are too old to have in their group.
You seem to enjoy both cartoons and news. You can no longer eat whatever you wish without putting on weight. You look like an ape if you don’t shave daily.. You are not invited for weekend cricket matches.
Every Aunt you meet asks 'When are you getting married' while uncle asks 'What have you thought of your career' or you are still wasting your time "Mufat kee Rootiyan"? While the reality is that you are just riding the wave and going with the flow.
You have all the confidence in the world but little achievements to show, you already have the first hand experience of the life, you know that whatever you have been taught about the world in schools has been sheer waste of time.
You can be denied a job even after passing the test and you could be given a job if you know someone placed high enough.
Politics till now was a dirty word but now you feel it everywhere.
You even know love is not that blinds and that friendship has its "terms and conditions" in fact then you actually came to know the difference among friendships and acquaintances when you smell jealousy & envy in the "greetings" of the people you call friend.
You know there is nothing for granted and free lunches are not free. Your overconfidence is now making way for a humble conscience.
You now know it is not exactly what we thought it would be.
