The dread should come more from being 28. That seems to be when life gets weird: it’s uncool to do the early 20s crap anymore, friends get paired off big time, you’re supposed to be thinking about your career suddenly. That’s the ugly part. By the time 30 rolls around, that starts getting a little easier at least.
Say, question for all of my Desi brothers. Yes, I know the Modi-triggered weirdness and all. But lately it sounds like boycotting things has become like eating paneer. Bollywood boycotts via Twitter hashtags that seem to be cutting into that bloated industry - a bit from obvious nepotism but also a lot with the grievance that Bollywood has gone all PC and anti-Hindu and anti-India (as they go together). Things like Amazon boycotts because they might have inventory of something that blasphemes Hindu gods.
Seems like weirder crap than the usual, and I haven’t been in the subcontinent for too long.
