MY SANDWICH STORY

 LIFE IS A PARTY, AND YOU ARE THE PINATA. - Adulthood 

Man, it's been a while since I last wrote anything. Today's topic? Relatable, I bet. Life's on fast forward, and my friend seems to be lapping everyone in this race. Scrolling through Instagram, I see their snapshots. I'm happy for them, but also, it feels damn, they've come so far. It feels like I'm stuck at the starting line they left behind.

Then it hits me – this is adulthood. Suddenly, I get why that damn Ross from Friends freaked out over a stolen sandwich. We all start at the same place, but the racecourse itself changes. My friend might've reached their goal, but they're probably envious of someone else's achievement too. We're all just trying to walk a mile in someone else's shoes, right?



Even writing this feels like a release. Every word type feels like a weight off my chest. This whole "adulting" thing is unsettling, and finding my groove will take time. Remember that rebellious teenager I used to be? Now I listen to my boss (well, most of the time). I avoid pointless arguments, but you bet I'll happily join the friendly chaos on a Mumbai train ride. Look, I won't lie – the boss-employee relationship can be a real "saas-bahu" situation (for those unfamiliar, it's basically a never-ending drama between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law). Gotta vent somehow, right? We all have those days.

The good news? I've discovered some "cheat codes" to deal with this stressful life, even if it's just temporary. The first and most important one: talk it out. Not with your boss – that's a recipe for disaster. Talk to your loved ones! Rant about your day, let it all out. But choose wisely – Gen Z, I'm looking at you. Sharing your vulnerabilities with the wrong person can backfire, making things worse. So, vent with the right crowd, and even if your problems aren't magically solved, at least you'll feel lighter for a while. You've successfully outsmarted your daily stress, at least for a while.

So there you have it, folks. My not-so-secret weapon against adulting woes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a giant pile of work files and a serious case of "Where did all the time go?"

LOVE: NAVIGATING THE MAZE OF EMOTIONS

In the realm of emotions, love reigns supreme, a wondrous sensation that sets our hearts ablaze. Its beauty lies in its disregard for wealth, caste, or creed; true love, in essence, is pure and boundless. In today's fast-paced world, the younger generation seems to sprint through life, even before they've fully embraced their youth. Their so-called "true love" may often be nothing more than fleeting attraction—bewildering and enigmatic, like a riddle waiting to be solved. And truth be told, of a hundred childhood love stories, only a meager 5% stand the test of time, while the remaining 95% are but a dance of the young, naive, and financially unsteady. Consider the tale of my imaginary friend, Rose, hailing from a modest middle-class family. During her college days, she fell head over heels for a captivating young man named Ryan, the heartthrob of the entire institution. Charmed by his presence, Rose spared no effort in wooing him, with coffee chats and thoughtful ges

ACT LIKE AN ACTOR

First of all let me clear that the title is a METAPHOR, How ?? Let me solve the puzzle for you fellows. Everyone wants that if a particular guy is successful in any field the community anticipate that the person should be a perfect role model in every single manner from discipline to every single opinion for the betterment of the country.  An Actor life is a social life more popular forefronts more difficult for the Actor to keep his life personal. If he even wishes to break a rule, try to live little carefree. The Entertainment agencies will defame him, scar him to death (MENTALLY NOT PHYSICALLY). They deal with a lot of hatred every single day. Many actors are living their life on a capsule. Yet they try to keep us entertaining. I know they are getting a vast sum of money and yet they are sick. They face such disease some of which name also we never heard of... In return what they earned(STATUS) Ample amount of wealth for there parents & future ones, after all, they are FAMILY M
